'Moselbad' community swimming complex in Koblenz will be the third stop of the two-day 'IAKS Facility Tour - Pools' from 26-27 October 2025. The facility tour will take place in the run-up to the aquanale trade fair - the No. 1 meeting place for the international swimming pool and wellness industry. Fostering innovations for a conscious lifestyle centred around health, wellness and exercise, the aquanale trade fair will take place in Cologne, Germany from 28-31 October 2025.
Dive deep into 'Moselbad'. Here's why:
For the new Moselbad Koblenz had to wait 12 long years. It costed 48 million euro to build a community swimming complex with dining and sauna facilities. The public now has a wonderful possibility to swim in a 6-lane sports pool, a training pool, a course/movement pool, a 5-meter diving pool, and enjoy health, and leisure activities in a parent-child pool, and a sprayground.
There are four saunas indoors and two outdoors, along with generous relaxation areas – all regionally themed. The Moselbad is currently considered the most modern swimming facility in Germany.
Cash machines, automated cloud-based checkouts, digital courses and operations monitoring, autonomous cleaning, AI-supported supervision assistance, and data management for optimizing occupancy are just a few of the operational innovations.
From a technical standpoint, geothermal energy, air-source heat pumps, solar thermal systems, two photovoltaic arrays, a combined heat and power plant, and peak load boilers are all integrated, resulting in a high demand for system control.
The Moselbad illustrates how, despite delays and cost increases caused by the pandemic and energy crisis, the adjustments made during planning paved the way toward a digital, automated, and energy-sustainable future.
