Turbine hall in October 2014

Discotheque T-Club inside

The former turbine hall of the Gutehoffnungshütte (GHH) in Oberhausen is now primarily used as a concert and event hall.

The complex of two connected halls built in 1909 was used to generate electricity and compressed air to supply ironworks II , a part of the GHH with four blast furnaces . Contrary to today's name, the halls did not house turbines , but gas machines .

The hall, which was unused after the steel industry withdrew from Oberhausen in the 1980s, was first opened as a discotheque in 1993 and has since been rebuilt several times. The turbine hall is located directly on the Duisburg – Dortmund railway line , the Ruhr area line of the former Cologne-Minden railway company .

The turbine hall is a stop on the route of industrial culture .
