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.
Future location for sustainability
The Gasometer in Berlin opened in 1913 and has been a listed building since 1994. After its original use as a low-pressure gas tank, it was used as an advertising space, event venue and television studio. It became best known for the political talk show hosted by Günther Jauch on German TV programme Ersten from 2011 to 2015.
Today, the site around the striking building is home to the Industriekultur the EUREF-Campus: a Future location for companies in the fields of mobility, energy and Sustainability. In addition to international companies, there are also event venues and changing exhibitions on the extensive grounds and in the premises of the gasometer. The interior work on the listed building was completed in January 2024, with the grey, historic steel scaffolding serving as a frame for the round new building.
The lower part of the Gasometer houses a conference area, while the 28,000 square metres of the Gasometer also contain office space for Deutsche Bahn. Further up, there is space for events and presentations. From the Sky Lounge with roof terrace, located 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. Various cafés and restaurants make Berlin's real-life laboratory for the energy transition a great destination for anyone interested in sustainable places in Berlin. 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.
