Gasbehälter Augsburg, Heritage gas tank in Oberhausen, Augsburg, Germany
Gasbehälter Augsburg is a large cylindrical storage tank made from iron plates in the Oberhausen district. The structure stands from a period when gas supply was central to the city's modern infrastructure.
The structure was built between 1912 and 1915 according to designs by Munich architects. It was the first of its type manufactured by MAN Works with this quality and scale.
The tank is the centerpiece of an industrial museum that displays the history of gas supply. Visitors can learn how energy was once distributed throughout the city.
Regular guided tours are available, allowing visitors to explore the building and access an observation platform. From the top, there are wide views across the city.
Inside the tank, there is a sound installation that uses the massive hollow space to create an unusual acoustic experience. This artistic use of the industrial space surprises many visitors.
