An art nouveau and neo-baroque jewel, this swimming pool dates from 1901. The engineer Karl Müller (1821–1909) donated it to the city of Munich on the condition that it be a pool for the poor.

Very old building. Swimming pool is not nice. Sauna area is so so, but anyhow some gay action can be found. Active day is Sunday afternoon and evening. It is possible to have private cabine with bed. Sauna is mix female and male str8, but there are also gays. Steam sauna is major for checking hot guys.
