Make a U-turn at the next traffic lights and drive back. Turn right into Domagkstraße, which will lead you to the car park entrance.
From North: Take A1 direction South. At exit Münster North, leave A1, direction Münster. You are now on B54 heading Münster, follow instructions from West below.

At the first major crossing with traffic lights in Münster there is a sign to "Coesfeld", pointing right. Follow it. Just before the Coesfelder Kreuz junction, turn right into Domagkstraße, which will take you to the entrance to the car park.
