Rheinturm Düsseldorf

In the location's words:

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

Below it is the M168 viewing platform (168 m) with a snack bar and event areas with a breathtaking view of the Rhine metropolis: Medienhafen (opens in a new tab), the old town, 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 to the various levels at a speed of 4 m/s.
