Historisches Rathaus (Historical Town hall)
Münster's landmark in the heart of the city

The Historical Town Hall at Prinzipalmarkt is from the middle of the 14th century and, with its high gable, has no equal in Germany. History has been written here. In 1648, the Spanish-Dutch Peace Treaty – part of the Peace of Westphalia – was confirmed in the Peace Hall.

After being largely destroyed in the Second World War, the characteristic gabled building, with its arches, was faithfully reconstructed in the fifties, financed above all by the donations in kind and money donations of merchants and citizens and through the town hall lotteries. The Town Hall and the adjacent city wine tavern are now used for cultural and prestigious occasions and for official receptions. The meetings of the political councils also take place here. The largest room in the Town Hall – the ballroom v and the adjacent armoury can be provided with various types of seating. Further small meeting rooms are to be found in the city wine tavern. These rooms have fixed block-formation seating.
