But it was in 1929 that Mr. Schartner, owner of Strasbourg-Plage, had it converted into a real lake and leisure center, with "20,000 m2 of beach, a buffet-terrace for 1,500 people, a cloakroom and an undressing hall». Five years after this inauguration, Charles Urban exploited this bathing place that became very popular among the people of Strasbourg: at this period, which is when the extract shown here takes place, there are diving boards, canoes, a gymnastic beach, etc. It is even possible to make the German wheel, as can be seen on another sequence shot in this same place by Emile Breesé in 1938. Since 1962, the Baggersee is owned by the city of Strasbourg. |
