You are planning a company party or get together? Wow your guests with an event at the Oderberger!

The History

The ‘Stadtbad Oderberger’ was designed in1898 by architect Ludwig Hoffmann to supply the then rapidly growing district of Prenzlauer Berg with public institutions. In 1986 it was forced to close and remained so until 2012 when extensive renovations began.

In January 2016, the Hotel Oderberger Berlin was opened. The pool area continues to be used as an event location, but since October 17th, 2016 the swimming pool is re-opened for the first time in 30 years.

Historic Tour

Every first Tuesday per month at 5pm (except holidays) a free guided tour in German of the restored public bath is offered. Meeting point is the reception of Hotel Oderberger; registration is not required.

Open Monument Day

September 7th & 8th 2024 the Berlin Open Monument Day takes place and we are excited to be a part of it. There will be guided tours every hour from 10am – 4pm on both days: The family who owns the hotel and their team will guide you through the historic bathhouse and tell you lots of crazy details about the baths.
