The Gaswerk Schlieren area is an industrial‑heritage site in Schlieren, just west of Zürich, where the city’s former gasworks complex once produced town gas for Zürich from 1898 to 1974. It is one of Switzerland’s largest and best‑preserved historic gasworks ensembles, with imposing brick industrial buildings, gasometers, and associated worker housing along the Limmattal. Today the area is being redeveloped and repurposed, with parts converted into cultural and leisure uses such as a museum and a climbing centre, while key structures are protected as important industrial and social‑historical monuments. The site remains a distinctive landmark in Schlieren’s urban fabric, linking the town’s industrial past with contemporary mixed‑use and recreational functions.
