Berlin Gas Lamp Map: Does Your Street Still Burn Gas?
Type your street and see how many gas lamps the official Berlin register lists there, which kind they are, whether they are burning, and whether the street sits inside an area where the city decided to keep gas light.
Find your street, then see whether its gas light is meant to stay.
Type a street, or tap the map.
What the tool shows
Berlin still has more than 16,000 gas street lamps, and about 95 per cent of them stand in the former West. This map shows every gas lamp in the city lighting register, coloured by whether it stands inside one of the areas where the city decided in 2012 and 2013 to keep gas light, outside them, or is switched off.
How to use it
Type a street name. Pick your street from the list to see how many gas lamps it has, which kind, and whether they are burning.
The card tells you whether the street lies inside a protected gas lighting area. Outside those areas there is no decision that the lamps stay on gas.
Tap a dot on the map to jump to the street of the nearest gas lamp.
Tap a district in the bar list to zoom to it and see where most of its gas lamps stand.
Where the facts come from
Lamp positions, types and status come from the Berlin Senate public lighting register, and the protected areas from the official map of gas lighting preservation areas, both published on the Berlin Geoportal under Datenlizenz Deutschland Zero 2.0. A lamp counts as inside an area when its position falls within the official outline. Conversions continue, so a lamp on the map may already be electric. Checked on 10 November 2026.
