Münster Germany
The old town of #Münster , the most important trading and episcopal city in Westphalia since the High Middle Ages , is the historic city center within the promenade ring . It is clearly demarcated by this because the city was heavily fortified for centuries and even expanded into a baroque fortress. This green belt was created when the walls and moats were removed. The area within the promenade ring is equivalent to today’s sub-area 1, Münster-Altstadt, of the large Münster-Mitte district. This old town area was almost totally destroyed in the Second World War, but was rebuilt in such a way that it remains an attractive and lively center of the city of Münster and the Münsterland region.
Old Town section:
The old town consists of the inner core, the former cathedral immunity , the boundaries of which can still be seen today in the almost circular ring of streets “Johannisstraße – Rothenburg – Prinzipalmarkt – Roggenmarkt – Bogenstraße – Spiekerhof “. The ring is closed off by the small river Aa . The first bishop’s church was built near a ford across the Aa . The medieval town developed around this oldest core, i.e. around the clearly demarcated so-called Domburg , which was then fortified by a wall and later expanded into a fortress town. Today this area defined by the fortress ring – inner moat, rampart and wall, outer moat, towers and bastions have largely been demolished – is still clearly recognizable, as it is accessible by foot and bicycle via a promenade ring .
Within Münster-Altstadt (part 1 of Münster-Mitte), five districts can be distinguished, which the administration designates as statistical districts: Aegidii, Überwasser ,Dom ,Buddenturm, and Martini .These districts of the old town are characterized by their churches and public buildings, the town houses, the arterial roads, and the associated former gates.
