Taught in school: 1648, the end of the Eighty Years’ War with Spain. The peace treaty was signed in Münster. That was then. And now? Students and creative entrepreneurs bring new energy to Münster. Even more importantly: just an hour’s drive from the Dutch border, the city is perfect to explore by bike. The former city wall has been transformed into a green “cycling belt.” Within it lies the old town center, home to the Town Hall with its Hall of Peace, the Cathedral, three dozen other churches, the Prinzipalmarkt, and shopping arcades with beautiful façades.
Cycling outside Münster is equally delightful. Two routes lead you to the historic town of Telgte and picturesque villages like Albersloh, Rinkerode, and Havixbeck. Along the way, you’ll pass grain fields, woodlands, and idyllic little rivers. Back in Münster, you might want to visit the Pablo Picasso Art Museum Münster (Picassoplatz 1).
In 1648, the Peace of Münster was signed, ending eighty years of war with Spain. Eighty years! That’s how long wars could last back when musket balls were still in use. After endless negotiations over the terms—yes, that also took quite some time—peace was finally declared. The treaty was signed in the Friedenssaal, now recognized as European heritage. Portraits of all the diplomats involved hang on the walls. A quick visit here is almost a must during your stay in Münster.
Park your bike by the façade of Bäckerei Tolkötters—it’s time to taste something truly special. Their sourdough bread, with its thick, crunchy crust, has achieved cult status among fans worldwide. The German Embassy in Paris even had this signature bread delivered specially for receptions. “Schmeckt gut!” Address: Rothenburg 20.
