Tweede Gemeentelijke Gasfabriek, Industrial heritage complex in The Hague, Netherlands.
The Tweede Gemeentelijke Gasfabriek is an industrial complex in The Hague that spans 17 hectares and includes multiple buildings from different periods. Two 53-meter gas holders built by Pletterij Enthoven are the most prominent structures of this ensemble.
Engineer Visser built the gas production facility between 1905 and 1907, which then supplied the city with gas for decades. Operations ended in 1967 when city gas production was discontinued.
The complex takes its name from its role as a municipal gas facility and shows traces of its past as a significant workplace. Four memorial monuments on the site commemorate 34 workers who died during World War II.
The site is located near Trekvlietplein and is well connected to the city's infrastructure through its canal system. Visitors should note that access to the complex from outside may be limited, so it is advisable to check in advance.
The site took in waste gases from the Shell refinery in Pernis during the 1950s and processed them into city gas. This role ended with the discovery of natural gas deposits at Slochteren, which fundamentally changed gas supply.
