The most known view in Gießen seems to be the E-Klo, a "masterwork" of the questionable urban planning policy from the late 1960s. It is a massive pedestrian overpass found at Selterstor. The popular name is due to the three large octagonal openings in the concrete slab. This says a lot about what is there to see in urban Gießen.
A museum dedicated to the chemist Justus Liebig and chemistry in Liebig's original laboratory. It offers lectures with demonstrations of chemical reactions. Due to a fire in 2022 its opening hours are limited during the reconstruction.
