Description
At 234 m high, this telecommunications tower, which was officially opened in 1982, is the tallest structure in the city. At an altitude of 172.5 m, you will find the restaurant Top 180, which has glass windows all the way round and rotates around its own axis once an hour. One level down you will find a viewing platform with a self-service restaurant. Some people may feel a bit queasy if they look down from up on high because the slanting panes of glass give the impression that you already have one foot outside the tower. But once you get used to it, the panorama really is impressive. The view across the city and the surrounding area is fantastic, on very clear days you can even make out the top of Cologne Cathedral. Outside on the tower column you can see a decimal clock from which you can read the time accurately to the nearest tenth of a second - if you are quick enough. From top to bottom lights indicate the tens of hours, single hours, tens of minutes etc.
At an altitude of 234 m, one has the best possible view of the city.
