Gasometer Schöneberg
Industrial monument in Berlin
The Gasometer in Schöneberg rises almost 80 metres high into the sky above Berlin. But it is not only courageous and vertigo-free visitors who get their money's worth here.
A forward-looking venue for mindful living
The Gasometer in Berlin began operating in 1913 and has been a listed building since 1994. After its original use as a low-pressure gas storage facility, it was used variously as an advertising space, an event venue and a television studio. It became particularly well known as the venue for Günther Jauch’s political talk show on ARD from 2011 to 2015.
Today, the site surrounding this striking example of industrial heritage is home to the EUREF Campus: a forward-looking hub for companies in the mobility and energy sectors. Alongside international firms, the extensive grounds and the Gasometer’s premises also host event venues and temporary exhibitions. The interior fit-out of the listed building was completed in January 2024, with the grey, historic steel framework serving as the structure for the circular new building.
The lower part of the gasometer houses a conference area, whilst the 28,000 square metres of the gasometer above are occupied by Deutsche Bahn’s office space. Further up, there is space for events and presentations. From the Sky Lounge with its roof terrace, situated at a height of around 66 metres, you can enjoy the view over Berlin.
Guided tours
Currently thematic tours of the site are currently on offer. A variety of cafés and restaurants make Berlin’s ‘real-world laboratory’ for the energy transition a lovely day-out destination for anyone interested in places where Berlin is being consciously experienced. A virtual tour of the Gasometer is also available on the EUREF Campus website.
By the way: The counter attached to the gasometer is a countdown and shows how much CO2 we can still emit in order to achieve the climate target of a maximum of 1.5 degrees of warming.
