The Gasometers in Vienna are four former gas tanks, each of 90,000 m³ storage capacity, built as part of the Vienna municipal gas works Gaswerk Simmering in 1896–1899. They are located in the 11th district, Simmering. They were used from 1899 to 1984 as gas storage tanks. After the changeover from town gas to natural gas between 1969–1978, they were no longer used and were shut down. Only the brick exterior front walls were preserved. The structures have found a new use in modern times.

Chris - The glass and its framework, in all the different patterns, are fascinating. Outstanding photography! Thad

If I could tell the story in words, I wouldn't need to lug around a camera. ~Lewis Hine

A superb demonstration of modern use of a very historic building. It is fantastic to see that it wasn't just demolished.

To the picture, brilliant display of glass and steel. Clean, sleek and how very modern looking. Love the crossovers and the patterns of the lines. A spectacular angle of capture, I always loved looking up.
