Updated Swimming Pool Pricing Starting From October
The Hanseatic city of Lübeck has announced an increase in swimming pool entrance fees, effective from October 1, 2025. Adults will pay 7 euros, while reduced tickets will cost 3.50 euros.
This price adjustment is a response to rising energy and operating costs, as well as an increasing subsidy requirement from the municipal budget. The city administration has emphasized social balance and will continue to offer reduced prices for various groups, including children, students, trainees, people with disabilities, Lübeck-Card holders, and certain other groups. Children under three years old and accompanying persons of people with disabilities (B) will continue to have free entrance.
The decision to increase swimming pool fees is a commitment to maintaining swimming pool infrastructure as part of public services. The swimming pools in Lübeck are located at Central Bath (Schmiedestr. 5-7), Swimming Pool Kücknitz (Flenderstraße 87a), Sports Bath St. Lorenz (Ziegelstraße 152), Moisling Outdoor Pool (Pennmoor 1), and Schlutup Outdoor Pool (Palinger Weg 70).
Without the price adjustment, the cost coverage for swimming pools in Lübeck would drop to 17.5 percent, significantly below the state average of 42 percent. The new prices will enable a higher, but still socially balanced cost coverage.

In comparison with other North German cities, Lübeck remains in the middle range in terms of swimming pool entrance fees. For exact, up-to-date details, it is recommended to consult official Lübeck city websites or municipal announcements about public pool fees, local news sources reporting on service pricing changes, or websites or contact points of individual swimming pools in Lübeck for their current tariff lists.
In an effort to sustain the swimming pool infrastructure as part of public services, Lübeck has decided to slightly adjust its home-and-garden attractions, including swimming pools, by implementing increased entrance fees from October 1, 2025. This change, based on rising costs and subsidy requirements, doesn't exclude lifestyle-oriented groups, as reduced prices will continue to be offered to children, students, trainees, people with disabilities, Lübeck-Card holders, and other eligible groups.
