New Stäblibad for Forstenried: Munich is planning a modern leisure temple!
The Stadtwerke München (SWM) initiated a significant step on July 10, 2025: the new construction of the Stäblibad in the popular Forstenrieder Park will be realized. After decades of operation, the old pool, which opened in 1976, has to be closed due to significant structural defects. The last opening took place on April 11, 2025, before demolition is expected to begin in mid-2026 and be completed by summer 2027, as muenchen.t-online.de reported.
The newly planned swimming complex will be built on a spacious area of around 4,430 square meters and will not only offer leisure fun, but also meet the demands of modern urban planning. Mayor Dieter Reiter underlines the importance of this development for citizens by promising a modern sports and leisure facility that appeals to both swimmers and non-swimmers. Classic and non-swimmer pools as well as two children's paddling pools are planned, both indoors and outdoors. A new outdoor pool and a slide complete the offer. In addition, the sauna area is being expanded, as wellness is very popular muenchen.de supplemented.
Sustainability and modern urban development
Nowadays it is no longer enough to just build beautiful leisure facilities. Sustainability and modern urban development play a key role. SWM ensures that the new building meets the requirements of sustainable urban planning. This means, among other things, barrier-free infrastructure and good connections to local public transport. This vision is based on the idea of creating short distances and minimizing traffic and emissions, which significantly improves the quality of life in Munich stadt.muenchen.de.
Before the demolition of the old pool begins, however, there are a number of tests to be carried out: The site must be examined for pollutants and possible ammunition residues in order to ensure safe construction. The cooperatives have already organized interim solutions for schools and clubs that provide alternative water areas in other pools.
With a total budget in the mid double-digit million range, the city is ready to invest in the future. The SWM supervisory board has already approved the necessary plans and the managing director Dr. Gabriele Jahn confirmed that the preliminary planning had been completed. The Stäblibad will not only be a place for swimming, but also another piece of the mosaic in Munich's cloverleaf of leisure activities.
