Ebertbad is a historical public bathhouse located in Oberhausen, built in the Art Nouveau style and opened in 1911. Originally functioning as a traditional bathing facility with various pools and steam rooms, it fell into disuse after World War II and faced demolition threats in the 1980s. A local initiative successfully preserved the building, transforming it into a cultural center.

Today, Ebertbad serves as a venue for concerts, exhibitions, theatre performances and other events. Its distinctive architecture – characterized by stained glass windows, ceramic tiles and ornate detailing – contributes to its atmospheric quality as a performance space. The building is recognized as a protected historical monument and remains an important landmark within Oberhausen's cultural landscape.
