Gasometer, Gas holder in Lübeck, Germany.

The 70-meter-tall cylindrical steel structure with a movable disk system stores natural gas for distribution across the local network.

Built in 1954 by the Klönne company, the gas holder regulated town gas from coal until the transition to natural gas between 1965 and 1969.

The structure stood as a monument of industrial engineering until 2021, when the city authorities removed its protected status due to maintenance costs.

At maximum capacity, the gas holder contained 80,000 cubic meters of natural gas, managing supply fluctuations in the distribution system.

The facility remained the last operating disk gas holder in Schleswig-Holstein until its decommissioning in 2015, after which it was covered in protective tarpaulins.
