In Magdeburg, city administration officials have proposed a temporary measure to maintain swimming training facilities during the renovation of the Elbeschwimmhalle. The plan involves renting a former courthouse at Jerichower Platz from November 2026 to June 2028 to install a temporary 50-meter pool with eight lanes. The estimated cost for this interim solution is approximately 3.76 million euros, with the state of Saxony-Anhalt indicating potential funding of 700,000 euros. The Magdeburg City Council is expected to vote on the proposal on August 27.
