http://www.muenster.de/stadt/tourismus/en/old-town-area.html Münster's Old Town: A Spirited City Centre with an Exciting History Magnificent rows of historic buildings interspersed with modern architecture and contemporary works of sculptured art: Münster's historic Old Town is a spirited city centre where past and present meet. A unique selection of museums and exciting events fill the town with vibrant life. The Westphalian Museum of Art and Cultural History, the Pablo Picasso Museum of Graphic Arts and the Museum of Lacquered Art are all within walking distance from each other. Münster's City Museum and Municipal Theatre are also located in the Old Town. Münster's Prinzipalmarkt, St Lambert’s Church, the Town Hall commemorating the Peace of Westphalia, the Cathedral and its surrounding square are just a few of the city's architectural gems built during the past eight centuries. Münster is also a shopper's paradise offering top quality, distinctive products sold by local merchants in the main shopping areas along Prinzipalmarkt, Salzstraße as well as in the historic Rothenburg area and Kiepenkerl district. A variety of interesting shops can also be found along Ludgeristraße. In the heart of the city close to historic Prinzipalmarkt, the new shopping experience of the Münster Arcades connects the traditional shopping areas Ludgeristraße and Rothenburg. Typical of a university town, the pubs in the historic Kuhviertel area are a favourite of Münster's student population. A variety of old-fashioned restaurants throughout the Old Town serve traditional Westphalian fare. This unique combination of things to do and see in Münster makes visiting Westphalia's capital a truly memorable experience! |

Gothic Town Hall of Münster
backlighting shot in the sun! Town Hall (Rathaus ) - a gothic structure from the mid-14th century with its famous Friedenssaal (Hall of Peace). The Historical City Hall of Münster is one of Münster, Germany's principal landmarks. Located on the principal market is next St. Paul's Cathedral. It is known for its role in the negotiations of the Peace of Westphalia, which concluded the Thirty Years' War in Europe and the Eighty Years' War between Spain and the Republic of the Seven United Netherlands. The building was nearly destroyed in World War II, but it has since been rebuilt. http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Exterior_of_the_historical_town_hall_M%C3%BCnster |

Muenster's Prinzipalmarkt, St Lambert’s Church,
St. Lamberti – this hall church built between 1375 and 1450 owes its renown to the gruesome history surrounding the three cages suspended from the steeple of the church. In the mid 16th century they housed the bodies of the three leaders of the Anabaptist sect. The church also houses a “Türmer” (tower keeper) who each night proclaims the time with a copper horn. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M%C3%BCnster http://www.muenster.de/stadt/tourismus/en/old-town-area.html |

A 180° view from the top of the Arminius Monument.
I was a bit in a hurry when we took this picture and the platform we were standing on was continuously swinging in the wind 50 meters above the ground, – that's why not every part of the image is as sharp as it should be.. some day I will do a new one. I'd like to thank the guys at 'Begemann's Mietlift' for helping me with this picture. My special thanks go to André and Klaus. Check out their website if you ever need a moving platform somewhere in northern Germany.. http://www.begemanns-mietlift.de size: 100000 x 8000 px printed size: 8.60 x 0.70m @ 300dpi 17.30 x 135m @ 150dpi 25.60 x 2.00m @ 100dpi 86,40 x 6,75m @ 30dpi ©2008 Markus Krueger Digital Park | neue medien http://www.digital-park.de |
