In the location's words:

The Rhine Tower (built 1979 - 1982, architect H. Deilmann) is the prominent landmark of Düsseldorf's Rhine scenery. It stands on the edge of the southern city center at the entrance to the MedienHafen, right next to the North Rhine-Westphalian Parliament and the WDR respectively, and has the restaurant QOMO(opens in a new tab) at a height of 172.5 meters with 144 seats at the window front, which rotates once around its own axis within 72 minutes.

Below it is the M168 viewing platform (168 meters) with snack bar and event areas offering a breathtaking view of the Rhine metropolis: MedienHafen, Altstadt, Hofgarten, Königsallee and the Rhine with its family of bridges lie at the foot of the Rhine Tower. In fine weather, the view extends as far as Cologne Cathedral. The two public elevators transport visitors up to the various levels at a speed of 4 m/s.
