The Gaskessel

History of the Gaskessel in Wuppertal Heckinghausen

Coming from the east, the Gaskessel is the gateway to the city. When you see its skyward-striving figure, you feel as safe in Wuppertal as if you were standing next to the suspension railway. This is where Wuppertal starts – being amazing and entertaining; being fun. For decades, the city was supplied with energy from here in the form of kilojoules and cubic meters. Today, the disc gas tank, which was listed in 1998, supplies the city with creative energy in the form of fascinating shows and exhibitions.
