Munich Gay Saunas

Sauna Deutsche Eiche is Munich's best-known gay sauna and one of the largest in Germany, attracting a mix of local men and international visitors of all ages. Open since 1995, the sauna is part of the historic Deutsche Eiche hotel and restaurant, a longstanding landmark of Munich's gay scene.

Spread across four floors, the spacious complex features Finnish and salt saunas, a large whirlpool, steam bath, darkrooms, cruising areas, private relaxation cabins, TV rooms and a rooftop winter garden. There's also a bar and bistro serving food and drinks, making it popular for both socialising and cruising.

Located in the heart of Munich's Glockenbachviertel gay district, the sauna is within walking distance of the neighbourhood's gay bars and nightlife. Access is through the Deutsche Eiche hotel reception at Reichenbachstraße 13.

Schwabinger Men Sauna is a small gay sauna in Munich's Schwabing-West district, attracting mainly mature local men. Unlike the much larger Deutsche Eiche, this neighbourhood sauna offers a quieter, more intimate setting for relaxing and cruising.

Facilities include a Finnish sauna, bio sauna, steam room, darkroom, solarium, lounge area and bar. The venue has a traditional, retro-style interior and a generally laid-back atmosphere.

Located on Düsseldorfer Straße, north of Munich's city centre, the sauna is accessible via Bonner Platz (U3) or Scheidplatz (U2). It is closed on Tuesdays.

Munich's oldest gay sauna and a meeting place for mature men (40+). Herrensauna features a sauna, showers, lounge area, bar, etc. Located in the city centre, near the main train station.
