This area can get crowded however there is a less crowded viewing area below it which also shares the area with a cafe. The observation deck is a circular area with a telescope. The reason why these views are offered is due to the high ground it is situated on. On the top of the shopping centre is an open-air observation deck which offers views of the skyline of Frankfurt and the surrounding area, despite being only 41 metres. Construction of a building was difficult in that location as it was between department stores. The entrance to the restaurants and the cinema is a curved glass wall which extrudes into the street.

This makes access to stores easier for disabled people. The building followed an unusual design by Kramm & Streigal on the interior by which the floors are sloped so that a visitor is able to walk to the top of the building without stairs or escalators. However, this succumb to the same fate and the area remains as an empty cinema hall. However, the cinema soon turned bankrupt and the space was converted into a cinema for premieres of films. The studio was removed and replaced by shops.Īn IMAX theatre was added on to the enormous roof of the Zeilgalerie in the late 1990s. However, a few years later, a downwards travelling escalator was installed and the light the architects wanted was lost.Ī remote studio on level 7 was maintained by Radio RPR until 1995. The architects of the Zeilgalerie said this was so that more light could enter the building through the front.

They are discussing the upcoming anti-Protestant measures. To the left, the Jesuit is getting money from a wealthy nobleman for an anti-Protestant propaganda, nevertheless to no effect. Behind these figures in the house there are: a Jesuit, several released and deserter mercenaries, as well as a range of other villains the inscription above their heads goes: “Hic Inferis erat in terra Praesidium”, which means: “Here is hell on earth”. In the sky we can see the God wearing a Jesuit biretta and holding the insignia “IHS” with the nails and the pierced heart. In the background, various scenes take place, allegorically representing subversive activity of the Jesuits and the Catholic Church against the Protestants, or so-called Counter-Reformation. There are for instance big fish eating small ones ships in the sea with the inscriptions warning that the sea is infested with evil sea fish two beasts of prey chasing a stork with an accompanying explanation that this is an evidence that the piety is being persecuted two foxes attacking a chick, meaning that the malicious preponderance brutally exterminates the innocent and defenceless two cats attacking a mouse – a game naturally ending up with the death of the weak mouse, etc. The texts in the engraving are mainly in Dutch.
