Familienbad Bornheim

Location Am Bornheimer Hang 4 in Frankfurt am Main
In Frankfurt's Bornheim district, the panorama pool next to the ice rink is being replaced by a new building.

After completion, a total of 900 square meters of water surface and sauna area will be available in a 30 percent larger space.
The Panoramabad has outlived its useful life and the new building will provide a beautiful swimming pool. In addition to the good transport links and accessibility by subway and streetcar, the energy aspect also plays an important role.

The photovoltaic system on the roof generates cheap electricity and saves almost 60,000 tons of CO2 emissions every year. however, the family pool still offers an "outdoor pool feeling", as the 60-metre-long glass front of the indoor pool can be opened up to 15 meters in good weather.

The Familienbad Bornheim offers around 900 square meters of water surface and is being built according to plans by the Stuttgart-based firm 4a Architekten, which is experienced in swimming pool construction. In addition to various adventure pools, a tube slide and a wide wave slide, the adventure pool also has a shallow pool for small children. Behind this is the 25-metre sports pool with six lanes and a three-metre diving tower, which can be used flexibly thanks to an adjustable lifting floor, as well as a teaching and learning pool. This area of the swimming pool can be used separately from the actual adventure pool by sports clubs or schools for swimming courses. On the upper floor, the pool will offer a sauna area with four themed saunas, a steam bath and relaxation zones. With 150 lockers, the changing area will be significantly larger than that of the panorama pool.

The project is aiming for DGNB "Sustainable Building Site" certification from the German Sustainable Building Council.

Certified by the German Sustainable Building Council (DGNB)

Ed. Züblin AG is pursuing several goals with this project: A sustainable construction site organisation, the conservation of resources as well as the minimisation of emissions, responsibility for the health and well-being of the builders, the cultivation of good neighbourliness and, of course, high-quality construction. For this, Ed. Züblin AG was the first company to be recognised by the German Sustainable Building Council (DGNB).

Selected measures in the project

  • Digital concrete call-off

    In order to be able to coordinate the concreting in the best possible way, the call-offs are made using a digital application. The delivery rates can be coordinated with the concrete pump, particularly for large-scale concreting, thus reducing the waiting times of the concrete mixers. Production times are optimized and noise emissions are reduced.

  • Saving resources and reducing emissions through LEAN Construction

    As part of the lean approach, a production plan with call-off dates (e.g. insulation) was created. Construction production planning is detailed on a weekly basis and adapted to actual production progress. Changes in the construction process are constantly taken into account and just-in-time deliveries can be better implemented. Repeat orders and new orders due to late changes to the plan are avoided.

  • Prefabrication/reinforced concrete composite columns

    These enable rapid assembly thanks to precision-fit production in the factory. Time-consuming formwork work is no longer necessary.

  • Measures to prevent pollution from the construction site

    The project is in an inner-city location, so efforts are being made to avoid or reduce the impact of the construction site as much as possible. The concepts for noise and dust avoidance and the protection of soil and groundwater on the construction site are key areas of action. There are also concepts for waste avoidance and an environmentally and resident-oriented logistics concept.
