There was also this in the part of Oberhausen I had a little stroll recently and I just couldn’t resist taking this photo, especially with those nice clouds overhead. But I certainly didn’t go inside!

Another part of Oberhausen’s Turbinenhalle – here you can see the older brick buildings which have now been turned into event halls and discos. I thought about painting out the web adress or the whole sign, but then I just left it in – it belongs to the scenery!

This huge building is part of a complex called Turbinenhalle in Oberhausen and was once a huge steel industrial area. Today the Turbinenhalle and its ancilliary buildings, which used to produce power for the nearby steel ovens, are used as event halls, discos and, apparently here, as a casino and fitness center next to each other. Which is kind of a funny combination :-).

A closer look at the old water tower in Oberhausen from the previous photo. It was originally built in 1897 and has actually only been in use until 1965, when it was decommissioned from its original use. Today its interior is being used as an office building, but the RWW logo from our local water company is still present on the reservoir.
