Historical City Hall of Münster

The Historical City Hall of Münster, located in the centre of Prinzipalmarkt 10, is a well-known and much-visited landmark of the city of Münster, alongside Münster Cathedral, with over 120,000 visitors recorded at the site in 2012. It rose to prominence during the negotiations for the Peace of Westphalia Treaty of 1648, which concluded the Thirty Years' War in Western Europe; and the Eighty Years' War between Spain and the Republic of the Seven United Netherlands.

The Gothic structure was heavily damaged during World War II, it was rebuilt true to the original from 1950 to 1958. Though the building is occasionally used for council meetings, since 1907 the official residences of the Lord Mayor and the city administration have moved to nearby properties at Klemensstraße 10, Heinrich-Brünig-Straße and Syndikatsgasse.
