The DuisPool transforms Duisburg's Inner Harbor from July 18 to September 6, 2026, into a public swimming area with a true public pool character. On Friday, September 4, 2026, the offering opens from 1:00 PM to 7:00 PM and invites a special mix of stadium atmosphere, water experience, and summer mood. Use is free, and no registration is required. ([duisburg.de](https://www.duisburg.de/allgemein/fachbereiche/sommertipps/duispool-innenhafen-2026))
A Summer Date with Authentic Duisburg Feeling
Those who know the Inner Harbor are aware of the unique backdrop of water, promenade, and urban harbor image. This is exactly where DuisPool comes into play: trained lifeguards ensure operations, water quality is regularly checked, and the harbor basin is up to 3.70 meters deep. The offering is aimed at competent swimmers. ([duisburg.de](https://www.duisburg.de/allgemein/fachbereiche/sommertipps/duispool-innenhafen-2026))
Everything Visitors Can Expect On-site
On-site, changing facilities, lockers, and a restroom trailer are available. There are no showers, and dogs are not allowed in the DuisPool area. The entry into the water is located at Philosophenweg 21, directly in front of the restaurant faktorei21. For the event day, this means: short distances, clear processes, and a setting that cleanly combines leisure and sports.
