Renovation plan: Franzosenweg and Schimmelstraße to be transformed as one-way streets for a period of three years
The historic city bath in Halle (Saale), Germany, known as the "Stadtbad Halle," is currently undergoing a significant renovation to preserve its heritage and functionality. This project, one of the largest construction projects in the heart of Halle in the next few years, is being funded by the federal government, the state, and the city.
The renovation of the city bath is being conducted by the city-owned Baths GmbH. The project, estimated to cost 27.3 million euros, is expected to maintain the city bath as both a functioning swimming pool and an architectural monument of bathing culture.
Starting from August 4, 2025, the sidewalk along the city bath in Schimmelstraße will be closed, and no-parking zones will be in effect in Schimmelstraße, Franzosenweg, and at the entrance to the youth hostel in Große Steinstraße. For three years, from July 31, 2025, Schimmelstraße can only be driven towards Große Steinstraße, and for three years, from July 31, 2028, Franzosenweg can only be driven from Große Steinstraße towards Straße der Opfer des Faschismus.
A one-way traffic system will be implemented around the city bath construction site, effective approximately from July 31, 2028. The pedestrian bridge in Große Steinstraße leading to the entrance of the Franzosenweg will be completed before the implementation of the one-way traffic system.
The Jugendstil bath is one of the buildings being renovated in the city bath. The renovation is significant as it preserves a piece of bathing culture history.
For precise and up-to-date details about the timeline, traffic restrictions, and cost of the current or recent renovation project of the Stadtbad Halle, I recommend consulting official sources such as the City of Halle’s website, local news outlets, or the managing public body responsible for historic buildings in Halle.
The city bath has been in continuous use since its construction in 1916 and is culturally significant. The renovation project aims to ensure its continued use and preservation for future generations.
The renovation of the Jugendstil bath, a piece of bathing culture history within the Stadtbad Halle, is part of a larger project aimed at preserving the city's heritage and modernizing its lifestyle. Once completed, the renovated city bath will serve as both a functional home-and-garden setting for relaxation and a testament to Halle's architectural garden.
