Münster is a city in western Germany. It’s known for the 13th-century St. Paulus Dom cathedral, built in the Gothic and Romanesque styles. Prinzipalmarkt square is framed by gabled houses, the Gothic city hall and late medieval St. Lamberti Church. The gardens of baroque Schloss Münster palace include greenhouses of the Botanical Garden. The Pablo Picasso Art Museum features a collection of the painter’s lithographs.
There are some 500,000 bicycles in Münster – and that's just one example of the exuberance found in this captivating city, one of the most appealing between Cologne and Hamburg. It's historical centre was rebuilt after WWII and features many architectural gems. Yet Münster is not mired in nostalgia. Its 50,000 students keep the cobwebs out and civic pride is great – the town's main cultural treasures have enjoyed ambitious renovations and enhancements. Sampling the slew of lively pubs and restaurants alone warrants at least an overnight stop here.
A historic university city, Münster is the capital of Westphalia and has a skyline shaped by the Romanesque and Gothic towers of its medieval churches. For hundreds of years up to 1801 the city was ruled by a Catholic Prince-Bishopric. This dominion was only briefly interrupted by an Anabaptist rebellion, which was crushed in brutal fashion by a siege and grisly execution of its leaders who were left to rot in cages over the Prinzipalmarkt square.
The Old Town suffered during the Second World War, but its limestone Renaissance and Gothic facades were meticulously reconstructed afterwards. Many of these buildings resonate with world-changing history, like the Historical City Hall where the Peace of Westphalia was signed in 1648, redrawing the map of Western Europe.
Münster is situated on the river Aa, approximately 15 kilometres (9 miles) south of its confluence with the Ems in the Westphalian Bight, a landscape studded with dispersed settlements and farms, the so-called Münsterland. The Wolstonian sediments of the mountain ridge called Münsterländer Kiessandzug cross the city from north to south. The highest elevation is the Mühlenberg in the northwest of Münster, 97 metres above sea level. The lowest elevation is at the Ems with 44 m above sea level. The city centre is 60 m above sea level, measured at the Prinzipalmarkt in front of the historic city hall.
The centre can be subdivided into historically evolved city districts whose borders are not always strictly defined, such as

The Stadtmuseum Münster deals with the city history of the Westphalian city of Münster. The city museum was founded in 1979 and was initially located in the Gerling Villa on Windthorststraße . The opening took place on August 31, 1982 with the exhibition The Anabaptists . As this building proved to be too small for the museum, in 1989, according to designs by the architects Rainer Maria Kresing and Christoph von Hausen, the vacant Althoff department store on the Salzstrasse was expanded to become the new location of the museum. Here are located next to the museum and numerous shops. The facade of the old department store has been preserved and is a listed building. In the Gerling Villa today is the Museum of Lacquer Art .
The permanent collection is located on the first and second floors. In a total of 33 cabinets covering a total area of 2,500 m², the time from the founding of the city to the end of the prince-bishopric in the 19th century and in the second the Neuzerit are treated thematically as documented with witnesses . The development of the city is illustrated by city and building models, the city life through the historic Café Müller from the 1950s and the living with the exhibited room of the Munster Art Nouveau artist Bernhard Pankokt presented. After foundation of the city museum with the support of sponsors a collection of the baroque painter Johann Bockhorst becamecreated. Bockhorst was born around 1604 in Münster, in Antwerp a close collaborator of Peter Paul Rubens and a friend of Anthonis van Dyck . His work is now part of the collection of the museum, which on the occasion of his 330th year of death in 1998 was again extensively seen in Münster, after only a few of his works were preserved as a result of the Second World War .
In addition to the permanent exhibition collection, the Stadtmuseum organizes numerous special exhibitions on current topics as well as on special anniversaries. In recent years, these have included exhibitions on excavations on the Stubengasse , on the inland port, which has changed its appearance in the last years of the 20th century and today serves as a cultural zone with pubs and studios for artists. Further exhibitions are dedicated to the 100th anniversary of Stadtwerke Münster , to the 1200th anniversary of the founding of the city by Liudger and the founder of the zoo , Hermann Landois . There were also photo exhibitions during the fat yearsthe 1950s and the bitter years after the Second World War. Furthermore, there was an exhibition on the occasion of the 40th anniversary of the first German concert of the Rolling Stones , which took place on September 11, 1965 in the Halle Münsterland .
A branch of the Stadtmuseum Münster is the kennel on the promenade . Originally built as a defense tower in the years around 1525/1528, the kennel later served as a prison, painter's studio, cultural center of the Hitler Youth and in the Second World War temporarily again as a prison and execution site of the Secret State Police (Gestapo). In 1987 and 1997 he was in the context of the Skulptur.Projekte as a memorial to the victims of violence in Münster, to the victims of war violence and the persecution of innocent people, especially the inhumane criminal justice and terror against political opponents, members of minorities and prisoners of war during the Nazi regimeexpanded. For this the artist Rebecca Horn realized the sculpture The Counter Concert .
