Erbdrostenhof Münster

This lantern-lit tour takes you past historic town houses, through dark alleyways to mysterious walls behind which strange things are said to have happened! The night watchman has been ensuring safety and order since the Middle Ages - experience first-hand what life was like back then and step into the cathedral of your past. Explore the city at night with the night watchman, illuminated only by lanterns and candlelight. A tour that brings history to life! Accompany the night watchman on his exciting patrol through the old town of Münster and immerse yourself in a bygone era - exciting, entertaining and with a special atmosphere.

By lantern light, accompany the guardian of the citizens' weal and woe through the dark streets of the old town. Hear about his daily work and the hustle and bustle between the cathedral castle and the city walls: about rich merchants and dirty alleyways, about the bustling market and episcopal power, about Gruet beer and secular jurisdiction - and last but not least about his "colleague", the tower keeper.

And when his horn sounds at the end of the tour, you will not only be privy to the "historical misdemeanours" of the tower keeper, but also a good piece of the long-gone history of the old Hanseatic city of Münster.

Meeting point: Town Hall courtyard, Chillida benches
Duration: 1.5 hours

No pre-booking necessary.

Münster crime city tour:

Ever since Wilsberg, Boerne and Thiel started investigating, there have been murders in Münster - and not too few! The otherwise tranquil cathedral city has established itself nationwide as a crime city - fortunately more on the screen. However, Münster also has its fair share of scandalous murders and many a bizarre crime.

This tour opens up secret files, traces legendary cases and takes you to the original film locations. On the one hand, we show how Münster developed into a popular TV city - murderously good and criminally exciting! But we also show the historical significance of these locations and how they are currently used.

Meeting point: City Library, Alter Steinweg
Duration: 1.5 hours
