Strandbad Hemmingen Information Profile

The quarry pond, on whose shores the Strandbad Hemmingen invites visitors to swim, is located just west of the Ricklinger gravel pits in the “Obere Leine” landscape conservation area. The privately operated swimming area features a sunbathing lawn that connects directly to the spacious beach. The shallow entry into the water allows even non-swimmers to cool off. A lifeguard is always on duty during the swimming season. In addition to swimming, visitors can enjoy a bistro-café offering cold beverages, snacks, and exotic drinks, as well as a variety of events.

The lake is surrounded by a mixed area of residential and agricultural land.

The Department of Health, as the responsible authority, conducts regular tests of the bathing water at the swimming area. The first water sample is taken before the start of the season. During the swimming season, from May 15 to September 15, samples are taken once a month. The water is tested for the indicator bacteria Escherichia coli and intestinal enterococci. These results are published here and on the Lower Saxony State Health Office’s bathing water portal, among other places.

If the authorities become aware of the occurrence of mass proliferation of blue-green algae, the water is tested for blue-green algae and, if necessary, an official warning of acute occurrence of blue-green algae is issued. If large quantities of toxic blue-green algae are detected, a bathing ban is issued and published on site and on the internet.
