Decrease in Tourist Arrivals Observed in Bochum
The outdoor swimming season in Bochum, Germany, has come to a close for most pools, with the exception of Urban Blue, which is still open. The season ended on September 14 for the pools in Werne and Hofstede, while the pool in Linden closed on September 5.
The outdoor pools in Bochum are spread across various areas, including Werne, Hofstede, Südfeldmark, and Linden. The pool in Südfeldmark closed at the end of August, earlier than the other pools. The pool in Linden, however, closed later than Südfeldmark but earlier than the pools in Werne and Hofstede.
The weather during the holiday periods in June of 2025 was variable, which suppressed visitor numbers. Despite this, a warm June provided a good start for the season. Overall, the total number of visitors to the Bochum outdoor pools in 2025 was 185,415, which is about five percent less than in 2024.
The distribution of visitors among the pools was as follows: Hofstede - 29,428, Südfeldmark - 46,658, Werne - 60,491, and Urban Blue - 40,797. Urban Blue, with a visitor count of 40,797, was the second most visited pool in Bochum in 2025.
The new natural outdoor pool in Linden counted 8,000 visitors in six weeks, a significant number considering its short season. However, this number is less than the numbers for Hofstede, Südfeldmark, and Werne, but not for Urban Blue.
As the outdoor season comes to a close, the indoor swimming season is set to begin next week in Querenburg, Hofstede, and Langendreer. Early swimming will also resume in these locations with the start of the indoor season. The outdoor swimming season for each pool in Bochum ended at a different date, reflecting the unique characteristics and circumstances of each pool.
It's worth noting that the responsible person or management of WasserWelten Bochum for statistical data on visitor numbers of the outdoor pools in Bochum is not explicitly listed in the provided search results.
Despite the end of the outdoor swimming season, Bochum residents still have the opportunity to enjoy swimming at Urban Blue, which is currently the only outdoor pool still open. The indoor swimming season offers another opportunity for residents to stay active and enjoy the water during the colder months.
