Access to the observation platform is not completely barrier-free. For structural reasons, there is a 10-cm raised sill at the threshold to the observation platform, but this is easy to negotiate with the help of a companion. Just ask our lift attendants if you require assistance – they‘ll be pleased to oblige. Particularly large wheelchairs (e.g. power wheelchairs) might not fit through the doors to the observation deck. If in doubt, please enquire about the measurements prior to your visit (telephone +49 711 929 14743). There is a aluminium balustrade on the platform obstructing the view for wheelchair users who are unable to stand up.

There is barrier-free access to the Panorama Café. The windows there offer a view from a sitting position.

There are three stations on the guided tour: the terrace in front of the Tower, the foundations and the observation platform. As the foundations can only be accessed by means of a stairway, the tour is not entirely barrier-free. People with particularly large wheelchairs and/or those unable to stand up should also please read the information on Disabled access to the observation platform.
