history

Since the end of the 19th century, the inner-city Kuhviertel received its own separate character through the influx of members of marginalized population groups, such as Roma and Yenish “rural travelers.” “They worked under the most difficult and worst of social conditions as scissors grinders, basket makers and brush makers , Broom-makers and peddlers to sell the works made in winter overland in summer. ”There were outpatient cloth and haberdashery dealers, rag and scrap dealers, showmen, escape artists, organ turner and fortune tellers in the now historic streets of Taschen, Brink and Ribbergasse and their immediate environment. Jewish families lived there. Within the majority society of Münster, the quarter had a reputation as a “crook district”. The residents were stigmatized as "antisocial" ( "Taschen, Brink and Ribbergasse, first-class knife stabbers." ). The Kuhviertel was next to the Herz-Jesu-Viertel (also: Klein-Muffi ), the Sonnenstraßenviertel and Pluggendorf one of four residential quarters, in which the red-whelse masematte was spoken. In all four quarters, people from Münster with “socially low status” lived as excluded.

The destruction of the war, the abandonment of rebuilding or the redesign of the city in this area ended the existence of the historical residential development in the Kuhviertel.
