History:
The Gasometer Oberhausen is an outstanding landmark of the Western Ruhr Area and in particular of the town of Oberhausen. Other than that it is an impressive example for building history and a spectacular location for events. Since 1994 annually changing exhibitions of impressive magnitude have turned the Gasometer into a successful cultural location within North Rhine-Westphalia.


But even without an exhibition or event going on, the Gasometer is still worth a visit. The inside of the Gasometer welcomes guests with an extraordinary atmosphere. The dark and semi-glossy walls, the extraordinary steel structure and the eight-time echo turn the 75-years old building into an "industrial cathedral".From the roof of the Gasometer, accessible by a glass elevator, visitors can enjoy the beautiful panorama of the Western Ruhr Area.

Technical facts of the Gasometer Oberhausen

The Gasometer Oberhausen is a slab-topped gasholder. A roofed, 24-sided cylinder of sheet steel was fitted with a slab beneath which gas was injected. In a manner similar to a lid on a cooking pot, the function of the slab was to provide an air-tight seal for the space underneath the slab. The slab could move up and down- depending on the volume of gas injected. To lubricate and at the same time seal the container, a mixture of oil and tar was applied along the interior wall. The oil and tar mixture dripped down the walls, was collected in a bottom-mounted tub, cleaned and then pumped back to the top. With the gas underneath the slab safely sealed off, workers could gain access to the space above the slab which kept the gas at a constant level of pressure. This was the case in the Gasometer in Oberhausen as well. The net weight of the slab was only 600 tons, which was not enough to create the needed constant gas pressure; this is why the slab's weight was increased by an additional 607 tons of concrete weights. All in all a total of 1207 tons were lifted upwards with the aid of nothing but the gas pressure - the weight of two jumbo jets!
