Gasbehälter Augsburg, Heritage gas tank in Oberhausen, Augsburg, Germany
The Gasbehälter Augsburg features a massive cylindrical structure made from 1,800 iron plates connected through riveting, reaching a storage capacity of 100,000 cubic meters.
Built between 1912 and 1915 by Gebrüder Rank architects from Munich, this gas holder represented the first of its kind manufactured by MAN Works worldwide.
