Invitation for journalists: 20 June, 11.30 a.m., meeting point main entrance
On Thursday 20 June at 11.30 a.m., representatives of the media are invited to a press tour of the Bernsdorf swimming complex at Bernsdorfer Straße 213. Mayor Micheal Stötzer and Norman Schröder, Head of the Swimming Pool Department at the City of Chemnitz Sports Office, will explain the current status of the construction work.
The construction work on the new indoor swimming pool is nearing completion and use is scheduled to begin at the start of the school year in August 2024. The pools, with the exception of the paddling pool, have already been filled and the necessary control of the pool water flow with the colouring test has been successfully completed. At the same time, the ventilation systems were put into operation. The pools are now being heated up step by step.
Remaining work is currently being carried out on the swimming pool extension and the building services systems as well as the furnishings in the foyer and changing area.
In the outdoor facilities, the service yard has already been completed. The area at the main entrance is also almost complete. The area for the bicycle and car parking spaces is also being constructed.
The swimming complex is due to be officially opened in September 2024. After an official part with representatives from politics, funding bodies and administration, the pool will be inaugurated with a big party with all the people of Chemnitz. A separate invitation will be sent out for this.
