The Gasometer Oberhausen is a decommissioned gas holder in Oberhausen, Germany, repurposed into a prominent exhibition venue. As an industrial landmark, it serves as an anchor point for both the European Route of Industrial Heritage and the Industrial Heritage Trail. Constructed in the 1920s, the structure was rebuilt following damage sustained during World War II.
Notable for hosting large-scale exhibitions, the Gasometer has featured works by internationally renowned artists, including two installations by Christo and Jeanne-Claude. Its adaptive reuse as a cultural space underscores its significance in preserving industrial heritage while fostering contemporary artistic expression.
