Much more than just a swimming pool

The Falkensee indoor swimming pool in German Brandenburg is a great example of civic commitment with a skittle alley integrated into the new building and literally makes the city more colourful.

The citizens of Falkensee - a city in the eastern part of the Havelland district on the border to Berlin - have long wanted a place for sport, fun and coming together where tradition and modernity combine for a vibrant communit. In 2020, more than 10,000 people voted in favour of the city’s largest construction project to date as part of a citizens’ decision.

The new building was planned under sustainability aspects by BAUCONCEPT® Planungsgesellschaft mbH from Lichtenstein/Saxony, which, with well over 100 employees, covers a diverse range of services throughout Germany. These include a curtain facade that enables residue-free and sort-free dismantling, the use of renewable energies in the form of a PV system in combination with a green roof, the use of a rainwater cistern for water storage for irrigation of the green area, the type 1 sludge water treatment plant, light control via occupancy detectors and light sensors, and heat recovery via central ventilation units.

The Falkensee indoor swimming pool with sauna, restaurant and bowling alley has now been completed and delights all generations with its diverse range and unique ambience.

Striking new building promises swimming enjoyment for everyone

The new building with flat green roof and photovoltaic system stands out from the outside with its copper-coloured facade cladding and striking lettering. Ample use of glass also gives the building an open and inviting feel, and allows visitors to enjoy exceptional views while swimming.

The accessible swimming pool with six 25-metre tracks, starting blocks, diving facilities and diving tower offers water depths of 1.80 to 3.50 metres. For beginners, there is a learning pool and a paddling pool with water games for the little guests. The 38-metre-long tunnel slide with timer, which is eye-catching with its bold blue colour, offers guaranteed fun.

Acoustic elements add colourful accents

Many colourful accents are used throughout the swimming area to give the swimming pool a very special touch. This is achieved in particular by a strip of multi-coloured Troldtekt® Line Design acoustic panels with a CNC-milled surface running along the walls. The rhombus-shaped Troldtekt floating acoustic clouds hanging above the paddling pool add further colourful accents.

In the state-of-the-art bowling area, with four 23.50-metre-long wooden bowling alleys, black acoustic ceiling panels from the Troldtekt® Line Design series, combined with black and white plant motifs on the walls, lend the rooms a high-quality, elegant charm.
