On Breite Straße in Pankow, Saunarivm hides Berlin's most ancient sauna facility: Greco-Roman ambiance, mosaics, brine steam bath, and a plunge pool in the sauna garden, plus around 450 square meters of wellness away from the hustle and bustle.
Saunarivm in Pankow: Sauna like in ancient Rome
Saunarivm was founded in Berlin-Pankow in 2001 and has lost none of its charm since then. The facility combines classic Roman and Greek design elements such as mosaic tiles, fountains, and sculptures to create a harmonious overall picture that cannot be found elsewhere in Berlin in this form. Walking through the facility feels like a trip to another era.
The offerings include a Finnish sauna at 90 °C, a Roman steam bath at 40 °C with nearly 100% humidity, and a Tepidarium at 60 °C with 50% humidity. Thus, every heat preference is catered for. On the hour, there is an infusion in the Finnish sauna; on the half-hour, small infusions or menthol crystals without fanning. The program is reliable, and the staff is experienced.
Wellness, tranquility, and winter garden at Saunarivm
For refreshment, a plunge pool and outdoor showers are available in the sauna garden, and indoor waterfall, bucket, and Kneipp showers. Those who prefer to relax after sweating can do so in the atmospherically lit winter garden, at the bar, or in the relaxation room. Treatments include aromatherapy, color light therapy, and special beauty baths such as honey-milk or rose oil in the whirlpool, along with a wide selection of massages.
The facility enjoys a good reputation for its clean and quiet atmosphere and professional staff, reflected in high ratings of around 4.7 out of 5 on platforms like Treatwell. It is open Monday to Friday and Sundays from 14:00 to 23:00; Saunarivm remains closed on Saturdays. Anyone living in Pankow or visiting the district should definitely check it out at least once.
