    St. Ludgeri is one of the oldest Catholic sacred buildings in Westphalian Münster under the patronage of St. Ludger and was built from 1173. The oldest direct evidence of the church of St. Ludgeri is from 1173. Ludwig I von Wippra, bishop of Munster, gave the church of St. Ludgeri, which was founded in the southern part of the city of Munster at the time, the mansum in Wargebeke to equip a priestly prebend. In 1178 Franco von Wettringen (de Weteringe) bequeathed his parental inheritance, which he had received after the childless death of his brothers. All his goods in the parish of Emsdetten (Thetten) went to the newly built St. Ludgeri Church in Münster. The founding of the collegiate monastery of St. Ludgeri in the time of the Munster bishop Herman von Katzenelnbogen can be narrowed down to between 1178 and 1185; the charter of incorporation has not survived.

      The ST. LUDGERI CHURCH was built around 1180 in the Romanesque style. The striking crossing tower has two Romanesque floors, after 1383 it was increased by two Gothic floors. The post-war glazing of the windows in the Gothic high choir was made by Vincenz Pieper.

        The first bishop of Münster was elected patron of the Ludgeri Church. Liudger, born around 742 in Friesland and died in 809 in Billerbeck near Munster, was commissioned by Charlemagne to proselytize the Saxons. The founding of a mission station by Liudger near St. Paul's Cathedral was also the nucleus of the city of Münster. In 805 Liudger was appointed bishop of Munster.
