The photograph shows a heavily frequented outdoor swimming pool featured in the travel film’s section on Frankfurt am Main. Densely packed bathers in contemporary swimwear surround a multi-level diving platform with a water slide; additional persons stand ready on the uppermost platform. Visible on the left of the image is the splash of water from a diver who has just entered, while spectators sit along the pool’s edge on the right. In the background, trees, a flagpole, and utility buildings of the bathing facility are discernible. The photograph documents summer leisure activities in the metropolis and supplements the city portraits in the film with a view of daily life among the population in 1937.
