The gas boiler was built in 1949 as a disc gas tank. He replaced the original boiler, built in 1928/1929, destroyed in February 1944 during an air raid.

The gas boiler is now a storage tank for emergencies and disasters - one of the oldest and largest that is still in operation in Europe.
The 1000 ton steel disk - after which the boiler is nicknamed the disk container - floats on the gas stored below. Depending on the amount of gas, it is higher or lower; It is stabilized by rollers. If the gas boiler is filled with the full amount of gas, the disk hovers at a height of 90 meters.
