Altes Freibad in Bergisch Gladbach-Herrenstrunden hosts company parties, team events, workshops, weddings and private celebrations. Indoors, several halls with a bar and a dance floor seat up to 200 people. Outdoors, a site of more than 16,000 square meters takes 500 guests and more. The address is Kürtener Straße 339.
Seminars and company events
The venue offers company events on a large site rather than in a standard function room. Typical formats include a summer party, a team event, a conference or a workshop followed by a team program. Sports options include beach volleyball tournaments and soccer events, and there are barbecue areas for relaxed evenings. A seated dinner followed by a party is also possible.
The indoor area has several rooms, a lounge, a bar area and a dance floor, and seats more than 200 people. The outdoor area takes more than 500. Technical equipment includes a DJ desk, large screens, a sound system and a lighting system, which serve presentations, shows or dancing. On request, the venue takes charge of the whole organization, from reception to catering and technology. A partner offers team-building programs, and the team shows the site during a guided visit before booking.
In winter, the venue runs its own Christmas market concept as an alternative to a classic company party, with lights, wooden huts and seasonal food.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings can include a civil-style ceremony outdoors under old trees, followed by a buffet in a decorated area. The indoor space, with two large halls and a tent, takes up to 180 wedding guests. The grounds include a stream, tall trees and a wide lawn, and offer photo spots around the site. Children have room to play, with space for a play corner or game stations. An in-house decoration team handles the setting, and a partner agency produces invitations, menu cards and table decoration in a matching design. The venue also offers planning support and tailored packages.

History and setting
The old open-air pool in Herrenstrunden has existed since 1934. A large pool no longer exists, but the grounds were redesigned as an event location in early 2008, with beach volleyball courts, an artificial turf pitch and other options. Old walls, trees and a stream give the site its character.
