The Gasometer

During the 1920's, industry had a firm hold on the area covered today by the city of Oberhausen: - pit heads, coking plants and iron works were typical sights here as in other parts of the Ruhr. But their networking did not yet function in an optimum way in all areas. The top gas that was produced in the iron works of the Gutehoffnungshütte (GHH) was in fact already used in order to fire the coking ovens in Osterfeld.
