For the construction of the Amalienbad, material was brought in on a scale that is still impressive today: more than 3,000 wagons full of cement, concrete gravel and bricks, as well as 900 mirrors, 553 changing rooms and 600 bath mats. The assembly of the 35,000 square meters of ceramics alone required 170,000 working hours. When it opened its doors for the first time on July 8, 1926, the class struggle was, so to speak, raging in Vienna.
