Otto’s Public Pool
Homburg’s first public swimming pool was opened in 1882 by Franz Otto in Gluckenstein, where the family still has a market garden today. At that time, swimming was already an option at the Forellenteich trout pond on Tannenwaldweg Road, but until 1918, this was reserved for the fusilier regiment and the children of the emperor's family. The swimming pool was fed by the Hubbach stream, which continuously replaced the water but did not make it warmer. Nonetheless, the pool was very popular into the 1920s. The opening of the Seedammbad swimming pool in 1927 brought that to a conclusion.
