    The old gasometer on the former Phoenix-West blast furnace site in Dortmund-Hörde shapes the skyline of the south of Dortmund. The 76.5 meter high giant barrel with a capacity of 120,000 cubic meters is still unused.
    The landmark in Dortmund's Hörde district, visible from afar, was part of the Phoenix-West industrial plant and was used to store coke oven and blast furnace gas. The blast furnace gas from the Phoenix-West blast furnace, which was produced in varying amounts, was captured and stored in it.
