Where is world's tallest gasometer?
Where is world's tallest gasometer?
My suggestion: Oberhausen gasometer ( http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gasometer_Oberhausen ) 117 metres tall with 67 metres diametre, but not in use as gasometer today. |
I've been up late nights wondering the very same thing.
|
My great grand-pappy devoted his whole life to finding it... And died a broken man.
|
^ :haha:

sorry, the above is not a gasometer. My mistake comes from the fact its called "Usina do Gasometro", but in reality, its a thermoeletric powerplant (now deactivated) that got its popular name because it was next to a gasometer, which was demolished.
shit, i never knew that. I researched now, after I saw the pictures posted above of other gasometers and noticed that it was something completely different. |
Not the tallest, but certainly the most awesome gasometers are found in Vienna.
