Description
The Vienna Gasometers, located in the Simmering district, are a unique example of Viennese industrial architecture. Built between 1896 and 1899 for the storage and distribution of liquefied gas, these cylindrical telescopic tanks, each with a volume of approximately 90,000 m³ and a height of 70 meters, were the largest in Europe. In 1984, the gasometers were decommissioned, and in 1995, their reconstruction began under the direction of leading architects, including Coop Himmelb(l)au and Jean Nouvel.
Today, the Vienna Gasometers are multifunctional complexes, each adapted to specific needs. Gasometer A serves as a residential complex with offices and commercial space. Gasometer B offers shops, restaurants, and sports facilities. Gasometer C combines residential apartments with art galleries. Gasometer D serves social and educational functions. The complex also houses a concert hall, a cinema, and student dormitory.
The buildings' historic exteriors have been preserved: round brick towers are reminiscent of ancient fortresses connected by overhead bridges and passages. The facades are decorated with white dials, which once showed gas pressure.
