Gas-works on Grobla Street in Poznań, Industrial gasworks in Poznań, Poland
The gasworks facility on Grobla Street contains multiple buildings for gas production, including a prominent smokestack visible from different parts of the city.
Established in 1856 following a City Council resolution, the gasworks initially illuminated Poznań with 400 gas street lamps, requiring an investment of 720,000 marks.
The facility represents the industrial heritage of Greater Poland, demonstrating the region's advancement in energy infrastructure during the 19th century.
Located at coordinates 52.4039 latitude and 16.9428 longitude, the site ceased gas production in 1973 and transitioned to natural gas distribution by 1986.
English engineer John Moor selected the location near the Warta River wetlands to facilitate raw material delivery from England through water transport.
