Lamberti Church
The name goes back to Lambertus, the bishop of Maastricht, who was assassinated in Liège in 705/06 while defending ecclesiastical rights against secular violence.

The merchants of Munster, who maintained a close relationship with Liège, chose Lambertus, who was revered as a martyr, as the patron saint of the town and market church.

This Catholic church in Münster is dedicated to Saint Lambertus. He lived from 635 to 705, was a messenger of the faith in Brabant and bishop of Maastricht. He died as a martyr (martyr) for his Christian beliefs. The memorial day of Saint Lambertus in the calendar of saints is September 17th.

St. Lamberti in Münster, Westphalia, was the market and civic church, a counter-foundation to the overpowering St. Paul's Cathedral financed by the city's merchants. The structure was built from the Baumberger sandstone found in the neighboring Baumberge mountains and is the northern end of the Prinzipalmarkt. St. Lamberti is the most important sacred building of Westphalian late Gothic. It is named after Saint Lambert of Liège.
A special feature of the church are three iron baskets hung on the tower. In 1536, the bodies of the three leaders of the Anabaptist kingdom of Münster (formerly known as Anabaptists) Jan van Leiden, Bernd Krechting and Bernd Knipperdolling were displayed after torture and execution.
Every evening (except Tuesdays) the watchman, one of the last in Europe, climbs the church tower and blows his horn every half hour from 9 p.m. to midnight. The watchman's office has existed since 1379, and it is his job to warn the townspeople of dangers (such as fires). A woman has held this position for the first time since 2014[1] (the other two active tower keepers are on duty in the Paul Gerhardt Church in Lübben and on the Blue Tower in Bad Wimpfen). In addition, the three will-o'-the-wisps, placed there by Lothar Baumgarten as part of the sculpture projects 1987, burn in the baskets in the evening hours as the appearance of three souls or inner fires that cannot find rest.
