In December 2015, Essen's central indoor swimming pool was closed. Since then it was discussed to demolish it, as ambitions to make it a listed building failed. In October 2017 the new design of the facade, which was developed by students of  Frida-Levy-Gesamtschule and Zinnober Kreativagentur in a project course, was presented to the public.Old bath house was demolished in November 2021.
