Unfortunately one of the two official spotting locations at Dusseldorf Airport has been closed.

The other official viewing area, atop the terminal building, remains open. It is on top of concourse B, and reached via the third floor. There is a small entrance fee.

The railway station, linked to the national and local rail network, as well as to the terminal via a monorail, featured an open air viewing area which overlooked the ends of runways 23L and 23R, as well as the taxiways linking them. As such it was a great place for photographing airliners both on the ground and in the air.
But sadly the viewing area is now closed, and it is reportedly a permanent closure.
