Hammam & Sauna
The hammam in the Stadtbad is inspired by the traditional Turkish baths. Additionally you will find a small sauna area as well as a rich spa program.
Hammam
A visit to the hammam, apart from the effect of intensive body cleansing, has always been appreciated as a social occasion. Here at the Stadtbad, however, quiet and relaxation are the order of the day. We therefore ask our guests not to talk in the hammam area, as well as to refrain from using cell phones, iPads, etc. in the relaxation room.
The Hammam Ritual
After showering and warming up on the hot stone and sweating in the steam bath, the skin is ready for deep pore cleansing with the kese (exfoliating glove) and traditional olive oil soap. Ideally, the so-called Tellak 50' is performed by the masseur / masseuse on the warm marble table. Book the treatment here. Afterwards, enjoy the sauna followed by a refreshing footbath, let yourself be sprinkled under the mist shower and finally treat yourself to a body wrap with our healing chalk from the north of Germany.
Tea and snacks in our relaxation room are the crowning finale of the hammam ritual. Take at least two to three hours for your hammam visit.
We provide you with
- A thin cotton cloth, the so-called pestemal, which you wear wrapped around your body during the entire hammam ritual. The pestemal replaces the swimming costume.
- A sauna towel that you sit on in the sauna. You are naked in the sauna.
- An exfoliating glove, the kese, with which you clean your body in the exfoliating niche.
- A cup of healing chalk for the final body wrap.
- A body lotion.
- A bathrobe for the relaxing hour in our relaxation room.
- Shower gel and shampoo are available in the showers.
Sauna
In contrast to the hammam, with its moderate temperatures and gradual warming up and cooling down phases, the sauna cycle involves several rounds at very high temperatures (80 to 90° C), followed by a refreshing dip in the cold water pool. The intense alternating bath stimulates blood circulation, promotes detoxification of the body and strengthens the immune system.
