donpaul77 Says: Someone neglected to tell the architect that castles are supposed to look mean and intimidating. Burg Vischering is a beautiful moated castle in a pleasant park setting. As you stroll around the moat, you see that there is not an ugly angle on this structure. The castle...
donpaul77 Says: The Zwinger is a 16th century tower that was once part of the wall that surrounded the city of Munster. The wall is now a pedestrian greenway that encompasses most of the city, but the tower has been some what restored and houses a 'permanent' sculpture installation that...
Kathrin_E Says: The most recent acquisition of Münster's art scene: The square in front of the Picasso Museum has received a new pavement from stones in different colours which depicts the face of Picasso, including his famous striped sweater. The inauguration happened just when I was...
Kathrin_E Says: The so-called "Stadthaus" ("City House") was built next to the old city hall in 1902 - 1907 to accommodate offices of the city administration. While the rest of the building and everything around was destroyed in World War II, the tower survived miraculously and almost...
Kathrin_E Says: Münster has been the seat of a bishop since 792. The cathedral is a huge building that has grown over centuries and styles. After severe damage in World War II it has been rebuilt according to the original shape but simplified in details, as especially the western front...
Kathrin_E Says: Münster’s only baroque church, built by Johann Conrad Schlaun in 1745 - 1753. The octogonal church is crowned by a dome - deriving from the model of baroque architecture in Rome and finally from the ancient Pantheon. The dome is decorated with a fresco that reveals a...
Kathrin_E Says: The baroque palace was designed by Johann Conrad Schlaun, Westfalen’s great 18th century architect. It was the city palace of a noble family who were important civil servants in the bishopric.The palace grounds are located on a street corner. The main building is positioned...
Kathrin_E Says: The modern museum building contains a large permanent collection about history, art and culture of the region of Westfalen and also shows temporary exhibitions - check their website what's on. The museum is owned and operated by the Federal State and the biggest museum in...
donpaul77 Says: This is a very old and classic restaurant/beerhall that is right next to the old town hall in Munster. We didn't eat here, but enjoyed a few beers and schnapps in a really cozy atmosphere. It's all warmly lit with dark woodwork and tiled walls. You won't want to leave.
tini58de Says: Cozy interior on two levels, lovely posters on the walls, old furniture, delicious coffee and hot chocolate, but also little snacks! VERY enjoyable place, especially since it does not look very inviting from the outside. Just by chance we had a look inside and found out,...

Kathrin_E Says: Münster is known as Germany’s capital of bicycles. The landscape in Northern Germany is mostly flat and perfect for biking. Münster was one of the first cities that adjusted its traffic planning to bikes more than cars. The huge underground “bike station” next to the train...
Kathrin_E Says: The cute little shop sells all kinds of angel figures and similar – nooo, I’m not going to call it “kitsch”... A look into the shop windows is recommended if you like cute little things. If you really really like cute little things you may want to enter the shop and buy some...
Kathrin_E Says: Take care about the correct spelling of the name of this city. English-speaking people tend to omit and ignore the two dots on the u. However, MUNSTER is the name of a small town in the Lüneburg heath north of Hannover and if you buy a train ticket to or book a hotel room in...
Kathrin_E Says: The noble families of the region reside on their water palaces in the countryside but many of them also owned a manor in the city of Münster.Some of these are preserved and/or rebuilt. If you see a big old house check if there is a sign that explains what it is.
Kathrin_E Says: Pigs are very clean animals. This one is taking a shower in the front garden of a flower shop next to Zentralfriedhof. The shower is really on at intervals; of course it had just stopped when I had the camera ready.

bonio Says: A first round cup game against vfl Wolfsburg, not to be missed! Tickets arranged in advance and collected - no problem. Now Preußen stadium is, understandably, not the most modern so, on a very wet day there was little cover to be found. Sadly we only stopped for around 15...
Kathrin_E Says: Münster’s university with about 30.000 students strongly influences the city’s atmosphere. The centre of the university is located west of the river Aa in the inner city, along Universitätsstraße (sic!). The Schloss is another important centre, and of course the huge...

We came to Munster on our way to Oberhausen where we took part in SV BSZS – 2006. We had only half of a day at our disposal and our excursion was rather short. Nevertheless we could find out that...
