Ten historic gas holders and surviving outer houses: Oberhausen, the Vienna complex, Dresden Panometer, Leipzig Panometer, Schoneberg in Berlin, Boberg holder No. 1 in Stockholm, guiding frame No. 8 at London King's Cross, Augsburg, Turku and Ostre Gasvaerk in Copenhagen. This is a selection, not a size ranking. Berlin is shown in an archival 2010 photograph, Stockholm in a 2011 photograph. Open guiding frames are not sealed tanks. Historic shells have been converted, restored or relocated; these photographs do not establish current gas storage.
