The heinous attacks occurred last Sunday at the Barbarossabad swimming pool.
Several girls are said to have reported to pool staff that they had been assaulted by a group of men in the whirlpool area.
Two of the men arrested are reportedly related.
Criminal charges have since been filed against all of the suspects, who have also been banned from the pool.
Five young girls initially came forward to report the incidents, but as the assaults became public knowledge, more bravely came forward.
The victims also testified that they had been sexually harassed.
A total of eight girls aged just 11 to 16 were victims of sexual assault at the pool.
It currently cannot be ruled out that other girls or women were affected, reports claim.
