Chronicles of Muenster
Münster, the capital of the Münsterland region, was founded in 793 AD by Charlemagne, who made it a bishopric and fortified the city. Over the centuries, Münster's architecture evolved from Romanesque to Baroque and back again, with the iconic St. Paul's Cathedral being a prime example. Today, the city is known for its lively cultural scene, with numerous festivals throughout the year, including the famous Karnaval, which attracts millions. Münster's reputation as the 'Bicycle City' is also well-deserved, with over 600 km of bike paths and a strong cycling culture.
