An attraction for tourists from all over the world is the Peace Hall in M\u00fcnster. During our time in M\u00fcnster, a visit was definitely not to be missed, because history was made here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
M\u00fcnster received its city charter in 1170. The councillors now needed a place for meetings and court hearings. At first, a simple building near Prinzipalmarkt had to suffice. But not for long. When the parcelling of Prinzipalmarkt began, a plot of land was kept free for the construction of a new town hall. The plot was in direct line of sight of St. Paul’s Cathedral. In this way, the citizens wanted to emphasise their striving for freedom and self-government to the bishop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Unfortunately, more precise information about the building is no longer available today. All documents in the town archives were destroyed during the Anabaptist rule in 1524\/35. Only later sources provide information about the town’s development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
