Gasometer Oberhausen: industrial culture’s miracle space-saver

The astonished whispers of visitors travelling in the panoramic lift up to the dome are an everyday occurrence here: this gas holder is a monumental witness to heavy industry and an inspiring space for artistic debate. The delights of the Gasometer Oberhausen (‘Oberhausen gas holder’) start with an incomparable experience of space within the 117-metre high former gas storage tank. A glance outside then reveals a panoramic view from the observation platform across the western Ruhr district.
