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?

I don’t see the sauna door in the plan, but in my opinion, it and the window lintel would be the closest reference heights.

The sauna door is the thin black line next to the purple line of the open window:

This fits: windows are 120cm (47 inches) high and the window height from bottom to top is 95cm (37 inches); the sauna interior height is 220cm (87 inches), so the door will be a few centimeters lower and therefore align with the window height. Since everything inside will still be custom-made, the measurements can be adjusted precisely to the centimeter; only the opening for the window front is fixed.

Which way does the window face? – I shower naked and also step out of the shower without a robe...

Me too :-)

I also jump out of the sauna naked...

But the windows face a large birch tree and look out between the houses.
Also, around us (in that direction) there are only bungalows, which at most have a double casement window under the roof. So I would say: practically no visibility. Unless someone climbs the birch tree...

The house is located on parcels 2482/25 and /30; the bathroom window faces parcels 2482/29 and /24 on the top floor, and except for house 10 (on the lower right side of the plan next to us), they are all bungalows.
The giant birch tree stands on /29 at the border to /24, right in front of the bathroom window.

After being on the construction site every day, here is a picture of the birch tree standing in front of our bathroom window:
