The largest disc-type gas holder in Europe which is now an anchor point of the European Route of Industrial Heritage. It hosts varying exhibitions aimed at the general public (often including light and sound installations). A panoramic elevator inside the Gasometer can be used to travel to a floor level below the roof. From there, a stairway on the outside leads to three panoramic platforms mounted on the Gasometer's roof. People with disabilities can ask the staff to use the other elevator on the outside of the Gasometer, which directly leads to one of the platforms.
The Gasometer Oberhausen is a decommissioned gas holder in Oberhausen, Germany, repurposed into a prominent exhibition venue. As an industrial landmark, it serves as an anchor point for both the European Route of Industrial Heritage and the Industrial Heritage Trail. Constructed in the 1920s, the structure was rebuilt following damage sustained during World War II.
