I love the idea of German Saunas. It's relaxing and feels amazing. And the Germans have absolutely…read moreno problem enjoying this while being naked with members of the opposite sex. I really appreciate that. They really don't see anything sexual about the experience. The sauna on Schoenhauser was known as a "wellness lounge". You enter the facility, and you are given a key to a locker, and a towel. You go into your gender's changing room, strip down completely and put your clothing in a locker, emerging with only a towel. From there, you wander into one of the saunas, placing the towel on the wooden seat. Forget the towel, and you'll most certainly be corrected by one of the attendees of the proper protocol. Germans are very polite, but they won't hesitate to tell you when you are breaking the rules. If you are lucky, you'll get to experience the Aufguss ritual, in which an attendant will come into the sauna once everyone is seated, pour water on the hot stones to create steam, and then expertly whip a towel around to hit each person in the face with the hot steam. I'll never understand the point of the ritual, just that it appears to be an essential part of the Germany experience, and I didn't want to deny myself this experience. An hour later I leave the wellness lounge, fully refreshed and warmed up - the hangover from last night now a distant memory.

Located in a very central place…read more It can be over-crowded at the evening, and with only one Sauna, and a small garden, a bit limited in options. the staff could use a bit more friendliness. Maybe a smile could be a step into the right direction.

I have to preface this that you need to know what a European sauna is like. I hate when people…read morecomplain because they didn't do their research. This one is out of the way for sure and mostly locals. I would guess 99% local to the area. Absolutely nothing in English (not a complaint but a warning if you don't speak German you're going to be a little lost). Some/most employees did speak English. It's super cool and worth going if you're into saunas!

Eigentlich eine schöne Anlage, jedoch konnte sie an einigen Stellen mal eine Renovierung vertagen…read more Wohl auch aufgrund der Energiepreise und der allgemeinen Inflation wurde das Vergnügen mit den Jahren hier immer teurer. Was für mich aber gar nicht geht, ist die Ungleichbehandlung der Gäste. Aufgrund angeblicher gesetzlicher Vorgaben sind einige Saunen bis 15 Uhr gesperrt. Somit bekommt jeder Gast, der nach 15 Uhr kommt, ein größeres Angebot - für das gleiche Geld. Von dieser Einschränkung des Angebot habe ich vor dem Besuch auf der Homepage nichts gefunden. Die Gastronomie ist in Ludwigsfelde leider ein Trauerspiel. Kaum frisch zubereitete Speisen, liebloses Salatbuffet und eine kümmerliche Auswahl für Vegetarier, von warmen Essen für Veganer Reeder ich erst gar nicht.

This sauna is one of the cheapest I've found so far. We went on a Sunday evening in January. I…read moredon't know if it was because it was a Sunday or cheap or the great reviews on yelp, but it was crowded! The facility is very nice, clean, and stylistic. The garden is beautiful, but I'm sure it would be prettier in the Spring. There are two dry saunas, a large steam sauna, a plunge pool, two "resting/sleeping" rooms, a tanning bed (solarium), a couple massage rooms, a mini bar that sell alcoholic and non-alcoholic beer and other fruit juices. Most other saunas require a ten euro deposit for the key/chip for the lockers. Here they don't. They are very trusting and they seem to work on the honesty system. The entrance is relatively open and you have to pay at the bar. It's a little bit of a maze when you first arrive, but once you are familiar with the layout it's very manageable. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Yes it's a mixed sauna for men and women... and you gotta go in Berlin style... no bathing suits. Loved it... except like I mentioned, it was too crowded.

Low-key, no frills, non pretentious sauna. It was pretty packed when I went (it was a Friday…read moreafternoon) -- it seems to be a favorite for locals! The quiet room was a bit smelly and didn't feel so relaxing. The beer selection at the bar was good. They offer affordable, good quality massages, I got one and it was very relaxing! The little garden outside is nice. I am not sure if I would go back because of how crowded it was last time, but it would be worth checking out during a non-peak time.
