List of architectural monuments in the Münster-Altstadt district

The list of architectural monuments in the Münster-Altstadt district contains the listed buildings in the Münster-Altstadt area in North Rhine-Westphalia (as of June 30, 2015). These architectural monuments are entered in the monuments list of the city of Münster; The basis for the admission is the Monument Protection Act North Rhine-Westphalia (DSchG NRW). The sublists for the six city districts of Münster have so far included the street names from A to S. Since the list for the city district Mitte is too large even after this division, the monuments of the city part of the old town were also moved to this list.

more pictures	Johanneskapelle	Altstadt Bergstrasse 38 map	The chapel is a towerless hall made of brick with buttresses and soffits made of sandstone. The portal in the west shows Renaissance forms . The four bays of the nave are covered with cross vaults; the easternmost yoke is shortened. An octagonal apse forms the east end . The keystones of the two western yokes show the Cross of St. John and the head of John the Baptist . The tracery windows on the other walls are fitted with modern stained glass panes. The current appearance of the chapel is the result of an eventful history. At the beginning of the 14th century, the Burgsteinfurt Johanniter-Kommende founded a branch in Münster. One of the convent buildings was the chapel dedicated to the patron saint, a small, rectangular structure. When the Coming House was relocated entirely to Münster in the Reformation century, the chapel was given an apse, Renaissance portal and more elaborate furnishings. In 1810 the Münsteraner Johanniterkommende was abolished. The chapel was profaned and used as a storage room. During the Second World War, the convent buildings were destroyed, but the chapel was only slightly damaged. Young people from the YMCA repaired them on their own initiative. On the First Advent 1948, the first service was celebrated under the direction of Walter Drobnitzky . Since then, the Johanneskapelle has been a Protestant branch church and ecumenical meeting place. In the following decades, the building and equipment were preserved and improved with the help of many sponsors. It belongs to the evangelical apostle church community.	from 14th century

more pictures	Episcopal palace	Altstadt Domplatz 27 map	The architect of this building, erected in 1732, is not clearly certain. Today, however, the majority of people assume that it is Peter Pictorius the Younger or Lambert Friedrich Corfey . It was initially used as a cathedral mechanic. In any case, the grating to cordon off the court of honor comes from Johann Conrad Schlaun and survived the Second World War unscathed. Unfortunately, the reconstruction of the former cathedral mechanics by Eberhard-Michael Kleffner was not carried out very carefully. Only the side wings were exactly reconstructed.	1732
	Former von Kettelersche Doppelkuria	Altstadt Domplatz 28–31 map	The Kettelersche Kuria (right in the picture) on Domplatz in Münster was built from 1712 to 1716 by the builder Lambert Friedrich Corfey.

more pictures	Church of the Redeemer	Old town / St. Mauritz Eisenbahnstrasse 8 map	The church building was built as an emergency church in the years 1949–1950 according to a design by the architect Otto Bartning . After the Second World War, Bartning was the head of the construction department of the Evangelical Aid Organization in Neckarsteinach . Under his leadership, two series church programs and three type designs were created as templates for numerous so-called Bartning emergency churches in Germany. The type template is also visible in the design of the Erlöserkirche in Münster. The Erlöserkirche stands on the foundations of the neo-Romanesque predecessor church, which was built between 1898 and 1900 according to plans by the architect Karl Siebold from Bethel near Bielefeld and which was destroyed in the Second World War. From the previous church only a 15 m high "stump" of the bell tower comes from the side in front of the church.	1949-50

	Country house	Old town / St. Mauritz Freiherr-vom-Stein-Platz 1 card	Complex together with Fürstenbergstrasse 15 as well as Karlstrasse 3 and 19–29: Between 1896 and 1901, the previous building was built on the same site in the neo-renaissance style for the Westphalian Provincial Association . The construction took place on a trapezoidal plot. The building was massively damaged by bombs during World War II and large parts of it were destroyed. Immediately after the war, the temporary restoration of a few less damaged premises began. The decision to build a largely new building had something to do with the unclear situation of the provincial association after the dissolution of Prussia and its provinces in 1946. This uncertainty was only ended with the 1953 landscape association regulations. In this respect, the building was in the meantime also an attempt by the ongoing administration and the governor Bernhard Salzmann to create facts. The link to the past was also emphasized by the architectural focus on the basic elements of the previous building. The plans for the reconstruction came from the architect Werner March . He had previously built the Olympic Stadium in Berlin . Work began in 1950 and was largely completed in 1954. Some less destroyed parts of the building were included in the new planning. Although the architect was partially based on the previous building, there were considerable differences in terms of both the external design and the room layout. The rather conservative formal language was based on ideas of homeland security architecture, such as that represented by Gustav Wolf . Historical building types were abstracted and simplified. The petrol station in the garage yard is based on the Hannover- type petrol stations developed by March for the Reichsautobahnen with certain borrowings from the New Objectivity . The building was made of light local sandstone . The tall rectangular windows, the hipped roofs and the clock tower on Fürstenbergstrasse are striking . Inside, the arcade-lined atrium with a glass roof is remarkable. The parts of the building complex are grouped around a park-like inner courtyard. The plenary hall of the landscape assembly is adjacent to this. This and the community hall in front of it was completely renovated and modernized a few years ago. Since 2010, parts of the complex have been entered in the monuments list of the city of Münster. These include the building wing at Fürstenbergstraße 15, the main building at Freiherr-vom-Stein-Platz with forecourt, the building wing at Karlstraße 3, the garage courtyard at Karlstraße 19-29, open spaces and a statue in the inner courtyard

more pictures	Petrikirche	Old town Johannisstrasse 5 map	The Petrikirche was built between 1590 and 1597 as the church of the Münster Jesuit College . It was the first Jesuit church in the Rhenish order province . The architect and site manager was Johann Roßkott . St. Petri is an east - facing three-aisled basilica without a transept. The building material is red brick for the wall surfaces ( quarry stone in the west up to about five meters above the ground ) and light sandstone for the structural elements. Two slender bell towers flank the choir. Inside, the aisles are divided into two floors by galleries . Access to these is provided by a low stair tower on the north and south sides. The overall look of the building is more horizontal than vertical. In terms of style, St. Petri stands between Gothic and Renaissance . While the basic structure of the basilica and the buttresses look backwards, the windows show mixed forms and the portals show pure Renaissance ornamentation.	1590-98

more pictures	St. Ludgeri	Old town Königsstrasse 27 map	Around the year 1180, the first building of St. Ludgeri was built as the successor to a recently constructed first building made of wood, the main features of which have been largely preserved. The central nave and the two side aisles thus continue to correspond to the original construction. It was completed around the year 1220. After the church was damaged in the town fire in 1383, it was rebuilt in a modified form. The initially relatively small choir on the east side was expanded into a large high choir. Since the roof was also raised, the crossing tower in the center of the church also had to be raised. The tower, which originally had two Romanesque floors with coupled window openings, was increased by one floor in the Gothic style . This is provided with blind blocks and ogival tracery windows. In addition, the crossing tower got a transparent upper floor with a tracery gallery and crab-studded pinnacles as decoration. The two west towers of the original sacred building also fell victim to the fire of 1383, but were not replaced until 1876. The church has two portals that allow access to the interior. The south portal is the usual access to the building and has an inscription on the lintel from 1537. The inscription reads “VDMIE Anno Domini 1537” as an abbreviation for “Verbum Domini Manet In Aeternum Anno Domini 1537” . In the German translation, the sentence means "The word of the Lord remains in eternity" . It is a quote from the 1st letter of Peter , chapter 1, verse 25, which had programmatic significance for the Protestants . The special feature of this inscription is the date of its creation (1537). As early as 1535, after a short Reformation interlude under Bernd Rothmann from 1532 and the subsequent Anabaptist rule from 1534 to 1535, after a resolution by the imperial estates , Münster had become Catholic again. The west portal, on the other hand, is only used for solemn liturgies . Since 1861 it has contained a tympanum with the enthroned Ludgerus in the center, surrounded by the holy Heriburg on his right and the singer and poet Bernlef. The latter is said to have been given sight after the intercession of Saint Ludgerus.	1180/1200

The house in which the pharmacy was located was on the corner between Ludgeristraße and the promenade , where the rifle house of the old society of the great riflemen was once located. This company was founded in 1557 and moved its quarters to Schützenstrasse in 1787. The Stern-Apotheke, on the other hand, stayed in place. The house was destroyed in the Second World War; the then tenant Hermann Brüning found the remains of the medication in the neighborhood and later in the station bunker. In 1951 he succeeded in acquiring the rubble property, where he then rebuilt the pharmacy with the architect Heinrich Bartmann.	1951

more pictures	Buddenturm	Old town Münzstrasse 13 map	The Buddenturm (also known as the Powder Tower) is the oldest surviving part of the former city fortifications . It was built around 1150 as a defense tower . The original height was 20 m. Shortly before the reign of the Anabaptists , it also served as a prison in 1533 and as a powder tower from 1598. From 1629 a 10 m high, hexagonal stair tower was added on the west side and a vault was installed up to the height of the stair tower. In the 18th century, this was further increased and then extended to the roof. When the city fortifications were demolished between 1764 and 1767, the tower remained standing because it also served as a powder tower and continued to fulfill this function. After it was used as a prison together with the nearby Zwinger from 1771 , the city bought the tower from the military for 3,620 marks in 1879. The city then increased it by 20 m while at the same time dismantling the stair tower to use it as a water tower . For this purpose, a 500 m³ water tank was installed and the tiled roof was replaced by a neo-Gothic crenellated crown. A preserved measuring scale and the downpipes inside the tower still remind of this function. After the damage that the Second World War had caused in Münster and also on the Buddenturm, it was restored and a conical roof in its original appearance was put on. The height was reduced by 10 m to a total of 30 m. It then served as a storage facility and as a switching point for street lighting. This use by the Stadtwerke Münster was given up in 1992 and the property went back to the city of Münster. In 1987, the last remaining part of the city wall was framed in a massive steel structure by the artist Susana Solano during the sculpture project . This controversial sculpture in Münster has been permanently installed on the west side of the tower. The last renovations took place in 2002, when shell limestone slurry was applied to the outer wall, and in 2003, when all wooden parts inside were renovated.	12th century

more pictures	Apostle Church	Old town Neubrückstrasse 5 map	The Apostle Church is originally a two-nave, now three-aisled Gothic hall church with a long, narrower choir . On the east end of the long nave roof a ridge rises up with the bell. The church was built in the second half of the 13th century as a monastery church of the Franciscan Minorites . It is the oldest building of its type in Westphalia . The original patronage was Catherine of Alexandria , possibly because of the religious college of the province, which was located in the monastery. In the centuries that followed, there were various redesigns and expansions, which, however, did not affect the overall impression. The two west bays and the north aisle were added with great sensitivity in the 16th and 17th centuries. At the beginning of the 19th century, the monastery was closed and the church was profaned before it was re-inaugurated in 1822, after a restoration by Karl Friedrich Schinkel , as a Protestant church of the Prussian military community. It has belonged to the Protestant civil parish since 1840. The building was named Apostelkirche in 1922 after the construction of a second Protestant church in Münster. In the following years, most of the 19th century fixtures were removed. The church suffered severe damage during World War II . After a provisional stage, the reconstruction was not completed until 1960.	from 13th century

In March 1950, the decision was made against a true-to-original reconstruction of the lost buildings; a new building should be built according to plans by the city's building officer Edmund Scharf. Initially it was planned that Münster should receive a new theater in the style of the “Greater German” monumental neoclassicism. The city council had unanimously approved the architect's plans as early as 1950, but an acute budget crisis had prevented these plans from being carried out. After a controversial public discussion, an invitation to tender was issued that ran until October 1952. The foundation stone was laid on May 16, 1954, and on February 4, 1956, as the first new theater to be built after the war, the new house opened.	1954-56

Since then, the museum has been located in this three-wing baroque building. This noble court was built from 1702 to 1707 by Gottfried Laurenz Pictorius for Franz Kaspar Ferdinand von Landsberg zu Erwitte . Planned as a baroque courtyard, it shows the form of the strictly symmetrical three-wing complex with a courtyard so typical for Münster. The central projection is gabled. The central building was the master's apartment with bedroom, study, changing room and dining room. An archive was also housed. The servants and the stables were quartered in the side wings. A brewery and a carriage depot were also available. The building was badly destroyed in the Second World War, but could be rebuilt. Today it is used by the University of Münster as an exhibition building for the geological-paleontological museum, as offices and work rooms for employees of the institute and as a lecture hall building.	1903-07
more pictures	Monument area / monument ensemble Prinzipalmarkt	Old town Prinzipalmarkt	The development as a bourgeois market street on the edge of the cathedral freedom and on the eastern cathedral castle border began in the 12th century. There was probably a closed development around 1280. At the turn of the 13th to the 14th century, the archway that characterizes the Prinzipalmarkt was built. With a few exceptions, the structure of the parcels and the number of buildings have largely been preserved from around 1500 until today. It wasn't until the beginning of the 17th century that the name Prinzipalmarkt came up. During the Second World War , most of the buildings on the Prinzipalmarkt were completely destroyed, some except for the basement and the first floor arbor. Because of the reconstruction, which took place between 1947 and 1958, the Prinzipalmarkt was able to maintain its character as an ensemble in the form of a historical market location. Although many buildings have been changed significantly compared to the pre-war state, the reconstruction was carried out on the old parcels and using the original materials and design elements.	around 1490, reconstruction in 1949/50
	Principal market 5	Old town Prinzipalmarkt 5	As early as the end of the war in 1945, a broad discussion began about the reconstruction of Münster, in particular about the design of the Prinzipalmarkt as the “good room” of the city. While maintaining the plot of land, which were actually too small and cramped for the standards of the 20th century, facades were erected here that were based in a simplified form on the shape of their predecessor buildings, i.e. neither contemporary modern new buildings nor mere copies, replicas or reconstructions . Since the gableless building Prinzipalmarkt 5 from 1841 had often been criticized as a disharmonious contrast to the structural environment and an architectural blot, even before the reconstruction discussion, the reconstruction took place in 1950/1951 with three gables, as they were on the assembly group before 1841. Despite the general consensus on the design of the Prinzipalmarkt, the additional expenditure for this triggered a fierce debate in the City Council of Münster, as the city, as the building owner of the house, had to carry out an extensive construction program as part of the rebuilding of the city, which was badly damaged by the war, in a bad financial situation. Ultimately, however, the city only expected itself to do the extra work that it demanded from all other builders on the Prinzipalmarkt. After the house was completed in 1951, the Heinrich Petzhold company, which had been in the house since 1937, moved into the ground floor. The city uses the upper floors for office space.	1841, reconstruction in 1950
more pictures	City wine house	Old town Prinzipalmarkt 8/9	Historic town hall - town wine house The town wine house was built in 1615/16 by Johann von Bocholt and is the only surviving auxiliary building. It is located north of the actual town hall, only separated from it by a narrow alley. On the first floor there is a transition between the two buildings, which connects the ballroom of the town hall with the large hall of the town wine house. It originally served as a warehouse for the city's wine, which was previously stored in the town hall's cellars. From 1843 the city guard was quartered in the city wine house. It had been in the town hall itself since the town's defeat by Prince-Bishop Christoph Bernhard von Galen in 1661. The town scales were also set up in front of the house, which in many other town halls were normally housed within the town hall building. A wine tavern on the ground floor is a reminder of its function as a storage facility for the city council's wine. In summer, wine tasting is also possible in front of the building, although the outdoor area sometimes extends far into the Marktstrasse of the Prinzipalmarkt. The large hall, which extends behind the balcony inside the building, serves on the one hand as a venue for meetings of the city council and on the other hand as a ballroom. If both the ballroom of the town hall and the town wine house turn out to be too small, the connection between the two rooms offers the possibility of holding large festivities in a historical setting. The balcony in front serves, among other things, to welcome the annual Rose Monday procession by the Lord Mayor as well as other festive and representative occasions.	1615/16, reconstruction 1956/57
more pictures	historical town hall	Old town Prinzipalmarkt 10	The historic town hall on Prinzipalmarkt is one of the city's landmarks along with the St. Paulus Cathedral . Münster's town hall became famous during the negotiations for the Peace of Westphalia in Münster and Osnabrück , which ended the Thirty Years' War in Europe. At the same time, it is the birthplace of the modern Netherlands , as the 80-year Spanish-Dutch War ended with the Peace of Munster during the Congress on May 15, 1648 . At the same time as the Netherlands, Switzerland left the Holy Roman Empire . Until the extensive destruction of the original structure in the Second World War and again since the reconstruction , it is considered one of the most important secular architectural monuments of the Gothic period . On April 15, 2015, the European Commission recognized the key role of the Peace of Westphalia for a united Europe by awarding the town halls in Münster and Osnabrück with the European Heritage Seal as “sites of the Peace of Westphalia” .	1150–1200, reconstruction 1950–58	June 20, 1988	A 456

more pictures	Dominican Church (Münster)	Old town Salzstrasse 10 map	The church was part of a monastery complex. From the monastery complex itself only one wall is preserved today, which borders on the sandstone facade of the church. Bernhard III. von Droste zu Hülshoff (1634–1700) promoted the Dominican Church by selling the land of his town hall there. The church was built between 1708 and 1725 according to designs by the architect Lambert Friedrich Corfey . After it was furnished, it was consecrated in 1728 and given to the patronage of St. Subordinate to Josef. It served as the Dominican convent church until the beginning of the 19th century . In the course of secularization , the Dominican monastery was closed in 1811. The monastery complex passed into state / municipal ownership, the church was used for military purposes from 1826 onwards. In 1880 the city of Münster acquired the church, which from 1889 was used as a school church for the municipal high school. After extensive destruction during the Second World War , the reconstruction of the church dragged on until 1974. The rebuilding of the dome could not begin until 1961. Today the church is administered by the Catholic-Theological Faculty of the Westphalian Wilhelms-Universität and used to a large extent by the Catholic University Community, which celebrates its Sunday services there. The church building consists of a raised central nave, a transept and two low aisles. The central nave and transept are 15.7 m high. The central nave is 33 m long, the church as a whole, including the choir, about 42 m. The baroque dome over the crossing is round on the inside (diameter approx. 9 m) and octagonal on the outside. It is about 29 m high, with the dome lantern about 34 m. The two towers are just as high. The sandstone facade of the church is two-story and laid out with cautiously structured pilasters. The central axis is dominated by a protruding aedicular portal with columns of Doric order. In two round niches on the side of the portal are the statues of the order patrons Dominic and Thomas Aquinas . In the course of the rebuilding of the church after the Second World War, the altar island was relocated to the crossing below the dome. The original choir partition has been restored, but can be accessed through an opening to the church. The choir is now used as a sacrament chapel and houses a baroque high altar (1699), which was originally built for the Gaukirche in Paderborn and acquired in 1903 for the Dominican church. In the church there is, among other things, the epitaph for the architect of the church, Lambert Friedrich Corfey , who was buried in the crypt under the Dominican Church in 1733. The design comes from Johann Conrad Schlaun .	1705-25

The three- wing building is remarkable for its highly representative design on a very cramped area. Johann Christoph Manskirch was involved in the sculptural design . The frescoes by Nikolaus Loder , destroyed in the Second World War, were reconstructed by Paul Reckendorfer in 1965–1967 .

The baroque portal was completed in 1700. The building is not oriented in an east-west direction, but in a north-south direction After the monastery was dissolved in 1811/12, the building was used by the Prussian military. It remained closed until 1819, when the church portal and the statues of saints were removed. The tower and sacristy were torn down and a false ceiling was added to the church, the lower floor was used as a stable for horses, and at the beginning of the 20th century also as a prop room for the theater. After the Second World War, the almost completely destroyed church was rebuilt. It is kept simple inside. The baroque furnishings were not reconstructed. Since 1961 it has served as the Evangelical University Church and as a concert church for the student choirs of the Evangelical Theological Faculty of the University of Münster.	1687-98

It was donated by the city's merchants and built as a parish church around 1225/50. The choir dates from around 1500. The floor plan of the room, which is still Romanesque with two vaulted fields on each side of the two middle bays, shows the transition to Gothic . The tiered hall with the alternation of pillars and columns is one of the most beautiful churches in the city and is a special form of the early Westphalian hall church . Inside the building there is a winged altar from around 1500. Compared to the surrounding buildings, the church looks slightly sunken because, in contrast to the other buildings, it still stands on the old, medieval floor level. Since 1932 St. Servatii has served as a place of adoration of the Eucharist .	2nd quarter of the 13th century

For the amount of 2960 Marks he created a 1.75 m statue made of Baumberg sandstone , which was inaugurated on October 16, 1896. The memorial survived the bombing raids on the city on October 10, 1943. Therefore, the National Socialist propaganda used the monument in 1944 as a template for a propaganda poster with the inscription "Nevertheless and still - Wi staoht almost!" When the Americans marched in, the statue was destroyed by a tank. The low German stage Muenster in Muenster initiated immediately after the war a competition for new construction. The new designs were not approved by Mayor Karl Zuhorn . At the request of the sculptor Albert Mazzotti junior , the city administration and his colleague Heinrich Ostlinnig commissioned him to create the new one. The statue is made of cast iron. On the occasion of the 20th German Farmers' Day , the statue was inaugurated on September 20, 1953 by Federal President Theodor Heuss .
