Gas Holder (Gasholder) is a former industrial gas tank transformed into a unique concert venue located in the Funkhaus Berlin complex. Originally built in the late 19th century to store gas for the city’s lighting system, it ceased operation for its original purpose in the 1980s. The building's distinctive circular structure and high ceiling create exceptional acoustics, particularly suited for amplified music.

Following extensive renovation, it reopened as a concert hall in 2018, becoming part of the larger Funkhaus complex which houses recording studios and performance spaces utilized by various broadcasters and artists. Its industrial aesthetic remains largely intact, contributing to its distinctive atmosphere and making it a notable cultural landmark within Berlin's music scene.
