      Vodafone occupies most of the first rooftop shelter. It seems like they separated their panel setups but I couldn't ascertain which panel was set up for which band. Kaufhof is a large German store chain that is owned by the METRO Group, a power consortium of different brands merged together. METRO also owns Mediamarkt and Saturn, Germany's largest electronics chains. This is their flagship store on which these setups are located:

      Closeups 1 & 2 shows a couple panels on the right side of the shelter. All of the BTS cabinets for both rooftop shelters are located in the shelters themselves. Some of you seasoned experts might chip in here and set me right on several things but this whole rooftop is so massive that it's hard to ascertain which mast performs certain functions. You may also pick smaller boxes in some of the pics below the panels themselves where the cables are bound to the mast. I don't know if these are manufacturer-specific since no labels were attached as on the O2 masts on the second rooftop.
