The representative gate system with gatehouse, the massive brick walling of the round gas container from 1879 and the likewise round reinforced concrete construction of the gas container from 1909 have been preserved from the complex. The older building was built over a basement with plastered ashlar , the coupled arched windows are on the first and second floors of high blind arches. The imposing reinforced concrete structure consists of a cylindrical shell-like body that extends over six storeys and appears to be held in place by five cubic stair towers. In addition, it is structured by numerous regularly arranged windows and pilaster strips . A flat dome with a low round ventilation lantern closed the building at the top.
Use as a panorama exhibition
One of the gasometers has been developed as an exhibition room under the name Panometer Dresden and, due to its architecture, is ideal for the presentation of 360 ° panoramas . A panorama by Yadegar Asisi is currently being shown, which depicts Dresden in 1945.
