The Elisabethhalle will open as early as this year's summer break

Starting next week, on Monday, August 10, the Ulla-Klinger-Halle will have to close for about six months due to urgent renovation work. To provide swimmers with an additional option, the Elisabethhalle—which is traditionally closed during the summer school break—will be open this year even during the break.

Starting Monday, August 10, the following opening hours will initially apply:

  • Mon. 6:30 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.
  • Tue. 6:30 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.
  • Wed. closed
  • Thu. 6:30 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.
  • Fri. 6:30 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.
  • Sat. closed
  • Sun. closed


Once the outdoor swimming season ends in mid-September, the hours of operation will be extended once again.

Up-to-date information on the swimming pools and their hours of operation: The City of Aachen’s Sports Department asks all visitors to check the City of Aachen’s sports portal at www.aachen.de/schwimmen before visiting any of the city’s indoor or outdoor swimming pools to ensure there are no restrictions or closures at the respective facilities.
