100 years of Baden's Strandbad: To conclude the anniversary year, the Rollettmuseum invites you to an evening full of memories, curiosities and previously untold stories.

When the bathing season ends, a journey through time begins once more at the Rollettmuseum: Under the title “End of Bathing Season! – Insights and Retrospectives on 100 Years of Baden's Strandbad”, the museum invites you on Wednesday, October 6, 2026 at 7 PM to a special evening celebrating the 100th anniversary of Baden's Strandbad.

A century of Strandbad – that's not just 100 years of swimming and summer feeling. It's 100 years full of stories, encounters, rules, excitements, small scandals and grand memories.

Film clips, historical photographs, documents, newspaper articles and previously little-known documents offer insights into daily life around the Strandbad. Particularly exciting details are provided by the entries from the city police's report book: They tell of incidents and events that sometimes make us smile today, but at the time certainly caused quite a stir.

Ordinances and regulations are also discussed, showing how ideas about bathing pleasure, order, and public life have changed over the past 100 years.

In addition, anecdotes and personal memories from contemporary witnesses bring the historical material to life. Because behind every photo and every newspaper clipping are people and their very personal Strandbad stories.

This evening also marks the end of the special exhibition “100 Years of Baden's Strandbad” at the Rollettmuseum. Those who have not yet seen the exhibition or wish to delve once again into the history of the traditional bathing resort thus have the opportunity to embark on a very special journey through time at its conclusion.
