New sports temple in Massing: inauguration of the indoor swimming pool in 1975!
What's new from Massing? At the end of October we can take a look back at an important event in history that began 50 years ago. On October 28, 1975, the “Rottaler Anzeiger” reported on the ceremonial inauguration of new sports facilities in tranquil Massing. In a moving article by Franz-Xaver Eder, the community's public life was given a significant boost.
The inauguration ceremony, at which the spiritual councilor Ludwig Jensen and the Protestant pastor Günther Gellichsheimer spoke words of blessing for the new facilities, marked the end of an almost four-year planning and construction period. The great joy about the opening of the indoor swimming pool was palpable: it was not just a new sports pool that found a place in Massing. A place should also be created that is accessible to all generations.
The Massing indoor swimming pool in view
Today the indoor swimming pool in Massing is a fixture for sports and leisure. According to the information from Schwimmbadcheck.de, the pool is open every Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday from 3:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., while on Saturday and Sunday the swimming times are from 1:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m. and 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. A special highlight are the warm bathing days on Wednesday and Thursday, which offer water lovers young and old a particularly relaxed atmosphere.
But the indoor pool also offers more than just swimming: with a 25-meter-long sports pool, a steam chamber, a sanarium, an extensive sauna area and special massage jets, it is a place of relaxation and well-being. There is a separate baby paddling pool for the very little ones, which allows them to play happily. The kiosk ensures that there is no shortage of small snacks and refreshments.
Development and importance of sport
But Massing is not alone. The development of sports facilities has proven to be an important cornerstone of social life in recent decades. A study by the German Sports University Cologne indicates that sport not only improves health, but also contributes to the quality of life in communities. Studies on sports and exercise behavior that were carried out in cities such as Cologne or the Rhine district of Neuss underline the importance of sports policy and the creation of appropriate sports infrastructures.
The positive development of sport in municipalities is also reflected in sports development planning initiatives that have already been carried out in many cities such as Bocholt, Aachen and Mülheim an der Ruhr. These not only offer a space for exercise, but also promote networking within the community and create an environment in which all citizens can feel comfortable.
In conclusion, it can be said that the Massing indoor swimming pool is much more than just a place for swimming. It is a place for gathering, relaxation and sporting activity - an integral part of life in Massing, with roots that go back to the 1970s. Anyone who supports the development of sports facilities makes a valuable contribution to the quality of life in the region.
