Bäder Radevormwald GmbH

What Bäder Radevormwald GmbH does

Bäder Radevormwald GmbH is a privately held German limited liability company (GmbH) registered in Cologne that operates a single integrated leisure facility branded as "life-ness" at Carl-Diem-Straße 33 in Radevormwald, North Rhine-Westphalia. The facility, which has been operating continuously since opening in July 2009, bundles a 6×25m sports swimming pool, a multi-purpose pool, an indoor children's playground (Nessi Kinderland), an 18-hole minigolf course (Nessi Golf), a swimming school (Nessi Schwimmschule), a conference room (Tagungsraum) for up to 30 persons, and on-site gastronomy (Nessi Drachenbar) under one roof. The company is led by managing directors Florian Weiskirch and Simon Woywod, with a supervisory board chaired by Sebastian Schlüter, and operates with a stated headcount of approximately 5 employees.

The business model is overwhelmingly direct-to-consumer and transactional, anchored in low-ticket admission fees (typically €3–€7 per visit), multi-visit discount cards, and bundled course offerings priced at €100–€200 per 10-session block. Ancillary revenue is generated through catering and beverage packages for birthdays and events, minigolf course rentals, conference room hire, swimming lane rentals, and on-site concessions. Institutional customers — including the DLRG, RTV, and TSV sports clubs plus local kindergartens and primary schools — provide baseline utilization through recurring group bookings and training time. The underlying technology stack is conventional: a WordPress website with PayPal-integrated online ticket booking, Brevo-powered email newsletters, social channels on Facebook and Instagram, and standard third-party providers for hosting, email, cookie consent, accessibility, and external data protection (secjur GmbH). The Nessi Club free loyalty program for children aged 3–10 and a recurring calendar of seasonal events (Karnevalsparty, Filmnachmittag, Public Viewing) support repeat visitation from regional families, while recent product launches in 2026 — including new swimming and wellness courses and a minigolf reopening — signal incremental curriculum diversification within the existing single-site footprint.
