10:30 a.m.: Gasometer

The gasometer is an interesting industrial monument—a historic bell-shaped gas holder that is over 100 years old, 40 m high, and 40 m wide—and one of the last of its kind. It was saved from being scrapped and given a new lease of life thanks to renovation work in line with conservation guidelines, combined with high-quality, modern architecture. The result is the new tourist highlight of the "Goldstadt" (Gold City) – the Pforzheim Gasometer, a unique exhibition and event location.

The giant panoramic image by Berlin artist Yadegar Asisi takes visitors on a journey of discovery through the tropical rainforest. As if standing in a clearing, the view opens up wide onto the Amazon landscape—onto the imposing treetops with buttress roots up to ten meters high, onto fascinating plants and animals, from poisonous strawberry frogs and mud-licking butterflies to elegant jaguars and agile ocelots.

From fine dining to an exclusive bar with a show and band... there are virtually no limits to the ideas for creating an unforgettable event at the Gasometer Pforzheim.
