🇩🇪 Münster: The City Where Cathedrals Tell Stories
True to its name (meaning "Cathedral" in German), Münster's skyline is a symphony of soaring spires and sacred stones – each whispering tales of faith, war, and rebirth. ⛪ A Living Museum of Faith • St. Lamberti: Its infamous iron cages still sway in the wind, grim reminders of 1536's Anabaptist rebellion • St. Paul's Dom: Where a 16th-century astronomical clock comes alive daily at noon with dancing apostles • Überwasserkirche (Water Church): The only Gothic church in Germany with a leaning tower (yes, Münster has its own Pisa!) ✍️ Where History Was Made In 1648, the Peace of Westphalia was signed at the Rathaus, ending Europe's Thirty Years' War. Today, you can: Touch the original treaty table Stand in the Hall of Peace where diplomats redrew Europe's map Marvel at how this butter-yellow Gothic gem survived WWII bombs 😢 Lost to War Many treasures like the original Baroque palace chapel now exist only in old sketches – their absence a silent protest against violence. #MünsterMoments #CathedralCity #GermanHistory
