Chlorine gas alarm in Tübingen indoor swimming pool: 70 bathers evacuated!
On Sunday, October 27, 2025, an incident occurred in Tübingen that really heated up the tempers of bathers. Around 70 swimmers were evacuated from an indoor swimming pool on the Berliner Ring after a chlorine gas alarm was triggered. This happened around 5 p.m. due to an overconcentration reported by a chlorine gas sensor. The evacuation meant that many guests had to leave the swimming pool, some of them in their swimwear.
The fire brigade was quickly on the scene and brought the affected bathers into a mobile, heated container, where they initially waited for further instructions. However, the all-clear was quickly given there; The fire department determined that there had been no actual chlorine gas leak. More than 60 emergency services, supported by 19 vehicles, were on duty and ensured that everything ran smoothly. The alarm was ultimately due to a technical defect in the sensor, which was a relief for the evacuees.
Technical defect as the cause
The alarm, which informed the fire department and police, was triggered by a fault in the chlorine gas sensor, which incorrectly indicated that the concentration was too high. This led to an immediate deployment of the rescue services, who were on site with numerous vehicles and around 20 emergency services to secure the swimming pool operations.
Despite the time that had already elapsed since the alarm, bathing operations could not be resumed for the rest of Sunday in order to complete all safety precautions and checks. Like ZVW and GEA reported that there were no increased concentrations of chlorine gas, it was all just a misunderstanding that tore many bathers out of their usual relaxation.
Overall, this incident shows how important rapid response measures are to ensure the safety of the population. The quick all-clear from the fire department made a decisive contribution to ensuring that the situation was calmer. This means that everyone can hope that bathing operations can be resumed soon – without incident.
