Wednesday - Dusseldorf
These photos below were taken from the Rheinturm (Rhein Tower). The tower is 240.5 meters tall and was completed at the end of 1981. It is still only the 10th tallest tower in Deutschland, but only two of the taller towers are open to the public - Berlin with viewing platforms about 30-50 meters higher and München which has a platform about 20 meters higher (although some of its platforms are lower)
The public areas consist of three stories
- at 174,50 meters, a revolving restaurant
- at 170 meters, a cafeteria and an enclosed viewing platform
- at 166,25 meters, an open-air viewing platform
