The lookout was freely accessible till 2000, but it was in a very bad condition. The lookout was considered to be reconstructed and the essential mission was to get some money.  An extensive reconstruction took place in, including wiring, tower lighting and a proper statics security. The architects´ desire was to  design the building as it was in 1923. The re-opening took place on 1st October 2000.
