Kinda weird to have lane markers on the bottom when the wall is cut out for the stairs in the Stadtbad Neukölln banner pic. I'm guessing the outside lines are more popular in this pool.

It's impossible to tell from the aerial perspective but the side of the pool with those stairs is extremely shallow (you would probably scrape your face on the bottom floor). This is basically the children's zone. There's usually a red barrier chain across the pool at the second to last column.

You guessed right. The inner lanes are preferred by the casual swimmers.
