Experiencing art next to CentrO and the Gasometer

Located within the romantic Kaisergarten, the neoclassical Schloss Oberhausen with its fenestrated 'showcase' construction by the architects Eller and Eller represents a wonderful setting for art. Nature and architecture unite as one, offering an all-round experience for visitors. The Kaisergarten, designed at the close of the 19th century for public use, includes the last remains of the historic Emscher River. The population of mature trees still harks back to its planting according to the style of English landscape gardening. The zoo with free admittance is particularly popular for family trips.

The Ludwig Galerie Schloss Oberhausen is connected directly with the Gasometer and the Neue Mitte Oberhausen via a route following the Rhein-Herne Canal. The Gasometer is not only Europe's largest exhibition hall but also an outstanding landmark and one of the central emblems for the structural transition of the region. Here the transition can be easily comprehended from a society characterised by agriculture to a hotpot of coal and steel and then to today's service industry metropolis incorporating the CentrO shopping and leisure centre.

[A combination ticket for the Gasometer and Ludwig Galerie suggests visiting both locations.]
