The city’s postcard image is a repurposed gasometer, built in 1929 and almost 120 metres high. It was damaged in the war, but was reassembled and functioning by 1950 before being finally decommissioned in 1988. But the gasometer had become such a landmark that the city bought it and voted to rework it into an exhibition space. Since 1994 there have...
Like the gasometer, this Neoclassical Schloss Oberhausen and its Kaisergarten are on the Ruhr’s Route of Industrial Culture. The palace is from the middle of the 19th century and since the 1980s has been run by an art foundation created by the 20th-century collectors Peter and Irene Ludwig. There are up to seven exhibitions each year, drawing the f...
Oberhausen was still a young town when a 28-hectare park was designed beside Schloss Oberhausen at the end of the 19th century. The Kaisergarten was inaugurated on Kaiser Wilhelm I’s 100th birthday, which explains the name. About a quarter of the Kasiergarten is woodland and a third is forest, a lot of which is older than the park itself. Call in f...

The LVR-Industriemuseum, which runs a number of former industrial sites around Oberhausen and this corner of the Ruhr, has its headquarters at this former sheet-metal factory. Operating for 130 years up to the 1980s the Zinkfabrik Altenberg was a rolling mill for the construction industry. The galleries at the factory explain how an arable region b...
A listed monument and a stop on the Ruhr Industrial Heritage Trail, Siedlung Eisenheim was the Ruhr’s first settlement for workers and one of Germany’s first ever company towns. The neighbourhood dates to 1846 and was completed in phases over the next 50 years. By the turn of the century 1,200 people lived in 51 brick housing blocks configured on l...
Oberhausen’s branch of the Sea Life aquarium chain has more than 5,000 marine creatures in tanks adding up to two million litres. The main attraction has to be the shark tank, the largest in Germany, fitted with an underwater tunnel where you can view black tip reef sharks and rays from below. A new turtle exhibit opened in 2017 and combines a turt...
Crossing the Rhine-Herne Canal between the Kaisergarten and the Emscherinsel, “Slinky Springs to Fame” is a bridge designed by the Frankfurt artist Tobias Rehberger. The bridge could be described as a walkable piece of sculpture, and was inaugurated in 2011. The name makes sense when you see the metallic spiral twisting around the footpath. On the ...

This indoor theme park is geared towards kids up to 10 and has two rides and ten zones where youngsters can build and play with Lego. At Miniland the big landmarks of the Rhine and Ruhr like Borussia Dortmund’s Signal Iduna Park have been built from Lego bricks, ...

AQUApark pays homage to Oberhausen’s mining heritage with an industrial-style metal and glass roof, which is partially retractable and opens on warm days in summer. The diving board for the main pool is designed like a mine’s headframe, while even the children’s play...

- Jan G. Aalten, The Netherlands 227 contributions. Just do. Special, normally you cannot visit a big tank like this. Entering the tank it is not possible to grab the complete picture, once in the elevator you really see the grandness of the tank.
- MrsR. 2 contributions. Good time. They say online purchase your ticket online and save 40%, but it is still the normal price. We just walked in and then we got the discount!?
- Bizzy6. Wernberg, Germany 347 contributions. Interesting bridge. Interesting bridge, offering lovely views. The bridge snakes over the river in unpredictable curves.
- Julian0111. Muenster, Germany 165 contributions. Too expensive and quite small. Entering the building I was quite impressed. The kids are told how lego stones are made and each kid gets a little lego stone for free.
