Known as the Haus Ruhrort, the Tausendfensterhaus is an architectural heritage monument in North Rhine-Westphalia, designed by Heinrich Blecken. Constructed in 1926, it originally served as the administrative building for Rheinische Stahlwerke. Its uniform rows of windows give the building its nickname, though it actually has 510 windows.
