About Oberhausen

Oberhausen is a Ruhr-area city in Germany built on former coal and steel industry, anchored by the Gasometer exhibition hall, the CentrO shopping and entertainment complex and Schloss Oberhausen. It works best as a short stop for industrial heritage or a shopping and entertainment day rather than a scenic old town.
