Müllersches Volksbad

The Müllersche Volksbad (public bath) in Munich's old town is one of the most beautiful bathing houses of Europe. The neo-baroque Art Nouveau building was at its completion in 1901, the largest and most expensive swimming pool in the world and the first public indoor pool in Munich. The large pool is topped by an impressive barrel vault with a gallery, also there are many baroque decorative elements such as wall paintings, stucco, bronze statues and ornate iron railings in the bathroom.
The tower is used for water reserve  and constant water pressure.
The building has two pools, the larger (30 × 12 m) was originally the "mens pool", the smaller about 18 × 11 m wide was used exclusively until 1989 as a women's pool.
A special attraction is the Roman-Irish steam bath. Unlike in the sauna you can heat your body slowly to different temperatures (45, 60, 80 ° C). Then you can cool off, for example in the "iron maiden". This is a semi-circular shower with ten hidden metal pipes, which squirts out from the bottom up cold water.
Until 1978 there was a dog bath in the basement, as well as public showers and baths.

Meine ersten Gehversuche mit Opencaching... Interessant was es hier für neue Varianten zu entdecken gibt. 

Im Volksbad war ich noch nie, außen am Gebäude schon öfter mal. Immer wieder interessant, was es hier zu bestaunen gibt. Nach dem Schild habe ich ein Weilchen gesucht, aber dann war die Sache klar.

Bei unserem heutigen, recht kurzen, Besuch in der Landeshauptstadt sind wir auch an diesem interessanten Gebäude vorbeigekommen. Ein Besuch wäre sicher toll. Auf eine Einkehr in der Speiserei haben wir wegen 2G+ verzichtet. Vielleicht lässt sich beides ja mal nachholen...

... und das richtige Passwort haben wir dann auch nicht gefunden, da sind wir einer falschen Fährte nachgegangen.
Also auf jeden Fall nochmal kommen.
