Simmering Gasometer Monuments of Industrialization

Guglgasse 12 Vienna 1030 +43 0 660 748 48 00 http://www.wiener-gasometer.at

Erected in 1896-1899, the four huge gas tanks were then the first municipal gasworks of this size on the European continent. 1,630 workers a day had to do some very hard work to build these, their architectural and technical standards being the most progressive for gas holders at that time. These monuments of urban industrialization, 70m high each, can be seen from very far away. The gasometers were fully active until 1985. Since then the buildings were transformed into apartments.
