    This is the heart of the historic Hanseatic city. Since the 12th century, merchants and traders built permanent houses in this area adjacent to the cathedral precinct and offered their wares under the arcades. The ensemble of 48 arcaded houses with their Gothic or Renaissance gables was largely destroyed in World War II. Reconstruction revived the old styles, sometimes faithfully replicating them, sometimes in a simplified, modern style. Today, a large part of city life takes place here: state guests are received, festivals are celebrated, and people stroll, shop, and enjoy life.

    Especially nice in the evening when the shops are closed but still lit. Then you can wonderfully walk under the arcades and enjoy the play of light on the facades. Unfortunately often completely overcrowded during the day.

    Münster's Prinzipalmarkt is a living piece of the city's history. It tells tales of the Middle Ages, the Hanseatic League, and the old merchant families, some of whom still conduct their business here. The square, with its characteristic gabled houses and arcades, is the traditional economic and political heart of Münster.

    Here you'll find the historic town hall with its Peace Hall. Numerous exclusive shops and restaurants also have their addresses here.

    A large part of Münster's city life unfolds on the Prinzipalmarkt: state guests are received here, festivals are celebrated, and people stroll, shop, and enjoy life.
