We take you on a journey through five centuries of crime, intrigue and the dark side of the cathedral city. From the 16th century to the present day, we recount spectacular criminal cases and link them to insights into the city's history and everyday life.
On Sundays in August and September, the guided tour also includes a tour of the interior of Münster's oldest prison: the Zwinger.
A PEACEFUL WORLD IN MÜNSTER? NOT AT ALL!
Come face to face with corpses in iron cages high above the city, the Münsterland murderer who has still not been caught to this day, and learn how the terror of the IRA reached Münster.
CAGES, CELLS AND DARK ALLEYS
Discover the original locations of the crimes: from the pillory on the Prinzipalmarkt, to drafty cells in the Zwinger, to inconspicuous alleys that became crime scenes.
A LOOK BEHIND THE CRIMES
We not only show the crimes themselves, but also the world in which these acts took place, the social conditions that turned people into criminals, the forensic search for clues – and sometimes the adventurous gathering of evidence.
EXCLUSIVE ON SUNDAYS IN SEPTEMBER – TOUR OF THE ZWINGER
Finally, we will visit one of the city's most impressive historical sites: Münster's oldest prison. Behind walls two meters thick, we follow the eventful, more than 500-year history of the Zwinger and learn how power, crime, terror and remembrance converge at this place.
