We will have a masonry shower in our main bathroom. This bathroom is located on the upper floor and has a vaulted ceiling. The partition wall for the shower should therefore not extend all the way up to the ceiling but only serve as a divider.
My question is: What is the typical height for such a partition wall?
210 cm (83 inches)? 220 cm (87 inches)? 250 cm (98 inches)?
What would make the most sense here?

Is it common to tile all the way up to the ceiling, or for example, only up to the top edge of the door frame? If necessary, I would anchor it at a corresponding reference height, such as the window lintels, the top edge of the mirror, or something similar.

No, we definitely won’t tile all the way up to the ceiling.
Here is the plan (although it’s no longer completely up to date; the windows have changed):
We might reduce the shower’s internal dimension to 1.1m (3.6 ft) to allow more space for the washbasins.
Above the sauna there will be a lowered ceiling area; so the sauna room will have a standard or slightly lower ceiling height, with a wall extending to the ceiling above it. The right side wall in the shower as well as the back wall are full height up to the ceiling (since there is a corridor behind the back wall, and on the left side are the utility room and sauna).
I am referring to the left side wall, No. 43.

The wall to the right of the shower in the plan runs almost continuously upwards to the window side – is that correct?
Where are you planning to position the showerhead? And what is the triangle inside the shower supposed to represent?
Shower door? I recommend one that opens inward. Since a large door panel is often impractical, an inward-folding shower door is a good option. I have one myself, and it’s very convenient because any water dripping from the door doesn’t end up outside the shower area. I would have it open inward to the left here.
Regarding the height of the shower wall, make sure to carefully plan the washbasin area and choose a suitable height level accordingly.
Are you planning to install a towel radiator anywhere?

Yes, the wall on the right side of the plan extends up to the roof (except for the door to the sauna).
The showerhead will be installed on the bottom wall of the plan; the triangular shape represents a seating platform (which should be moved to the right side of the plan); no shower door is planned.
A towel radiator might be placed on the partition wall next to the washbasins; we are still considering whether we want one. Currently, we have underfloor heating in our bathroom and a towel warmer that is rarely turned on because the bathroom is already too warm. Therefore, we question its usefulness. The towels dry well without it.
I think we will plan the wall height to be around 220–230cm (87–91 inches).
