Gaslaternen-Freilichtmuseum Berlin (English: Gas Lantern Open-Air Museum Berlin) a permanent exhibition of historical gas lanterns in Tiergarten park in Berlin, Germany.[1][2]

History[edit]

Gas lantern history[edit]

Gas lanterns were used in Germany in 25 different cities, between 1826 until 1956.[3] In 1826, the first gas lanterns were introduced to Germany with a contract by Imperial Continental Gas Association (ICGA), importing British-made Camberwell lanterns.

Museum history[edit]

The museum was started in 1978.[3][4] The founding leadership for the museum was the Senate of Berlin's Department for Urban Development and Housing, in cooperation with the GASAG Berliner Gaswerke Aktiengesellschaft (English: Berlin Gas Works Corporation) and its supported by the Gaslight Culture Society.[5] At its time of opening, the museum had 31 gas lanterns from all over Germany.[3] In 2006, many of the lanterns were painted and cleaned up, and informational signs were added, prior to the 2006 FIFA World Cup.[3] By 2009, the collection of gas lanterns grew to 90 objects.[3]

In recent years[when?], many of the gas lanterns have been moved to the German Museum of Technology (German: Deutsches Technikmuseum) in Kreuzberg, Berlin to get restored.[6]

They line Sophie-Charlotten-Strasse, the side streets off Kurfürstendamm and the Chamissoplatz, among others. The Gaslight Culture Society devotes its efforts to preserving the historical streetlights and offers night-time tours. A collection of gaslights from around Europe has been installed at one end of Tiergarten Park.

One thought on “Cannabaceae”

  1. Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
