Thuringia: Judgment: Bathing ban in the Aga lido continues to apply

Gera (dpa/th) - The bathing ban in Gera's lido Aga remains in place. According to its own statements, the city's administrative court confirmed a corresponding instruction from the public order office on June 30th. The decision was made last week and was justified by the lack of suitable supervisory staff, which is required by a state bathing ordinance.

The operator of the lido failed with his urgent application to the administrative court. According to the city administration, the public order office saw a danger to life and limb after an on-site inspection because there were no trained supervisory staff. The court assessed the subsequent closure as proportionate.

In June, a ten-year-old boy was also found dead in the Aga. According to the police, the child did not drown while bathing, but had acute health problems.
