Badeschiff

The Badeschiff (in English, "bathing ship") is a floating public swimming pool in Berlin, the capital city of Germany. Situated in the East Harbour section of the River Spree, the Badeschiff allows citizens to swim in a sanitary environment near the river. The Spree itself is far too polluted to permit safe swimming.[1]
The Badeschiff opened in the summer of 2004 as an art project organized by the (City Art Project Society) of Berlin. It was created by local artist, , with Spanish architects AMP and Gil Wilk,[2] to enliven city life along a long-neglected stretch of the Spree.[1]
The pool was converted from the hull of a vessel measuring eight by thirty-two metres. It is open to the public daily from 8am to midnight. Disc jockeys commonly spin records outside the pool entrance where there is also a bar.[1]
