Urban saunas
In the early decades of the century, the popularity of sauna-bathing had declined, as it seemed so firmly rooted in the agrarian tradition and out of step with the new urban lifestyle. The new stove models prompted the rediscovery of the Finnish sauna tradition in the 1930s, however.It was not until the 1880s that urbanization got under way in Finland, following the gradual construction of water and sewage systems, the introduction of electricity and the building of the first stone houses and apartment blocks. The bathroom and the great novelty in the early part of the century — the bath tub — offered Finns a touch of continental glamour which made sauna bathing seem a rather old-fashioned and countrified custom. Apartment block residents would have remained without a sauna for decades to come if public saunas had not been built for them.
The public saunas had separate sections for men and women and a private side where families could reserve a time for bathing. In addition to a washer, the biggest bathing houses had also a masseuse and sometimes even a cupper. For regular customers the sauna provided a place to meet old friends in a pleasant atmosphere with a minimum of formality, plus the occasional competition about who could stand the heat. The public saunas are in many ways a special chapter in the history of the Finnish sauna which came to an end in the 1950s. At the end of 2000, there were only two surviving public saunas in Helsinki as opposed to almost 150 at the end of World War II. The electric stove, which followed the smoke stove and the stove with a chimney, was the third stage in the development of the sauna. Although the prototype of the electric stove had been invented by the end of the 1930s, the wars postponed large-scale industrial manufacture until the late 1940s.
The electric stove is safe and easy-to-use; all you need is to push a button and the electric resistors heat up the stones. Since the electric stove requires no smoke flue, the sauna can be installed in places where wood-burning saunas cannot. A separate sauna building is no longer necessary and a sauna can be placed right next to another room.
The electric sauna finally solved the problems of urban saunas. From the 1950s on, residential saunas were built in the basements of apartment blocks which the residents could reserve for their own use. These are now being replaced by individual saunas next to the bathroom in almost all new apartments, a speciality of Finnish town dwellings. Similar mini-saunas are now also being built off modern hotel bathrooms — a Finnish addition to international hotel life!
