The next one is the Limes Tower and a little further on the horizon you can see the Grüninger Warte, which is popularly known as "Hoinkdibbe". In the old days, a windmill based on a Dutch model was placed on the crown of the tower. Unfortunately, there is no longer any photographic evidence of this.

To see the planes in Frankfurt, you should go up to the Grüninger Warte tower. It's not a good place to see them from this point.
