Tour descriptions
Following are two examples of tours offered at the University of Münster:
The Schloss: Late Baroque residential palace and main building of the University
Münster’s Schloss dates back to the late Baroque period and is considered one of the masterpieces of the architect Johann Conrad Schlaun. Gutted by fire during World War II, the palace was completely rebuilt after 1945 as the main building of the University of Münster. Meanwhile, both the Baroque façade and the 1950s interior design are registered under historical landmark protection. In this tour, we take you around the main building and introduce you to the history of the Schloss and the University.
Bike tour of the artworks on campus
“The city is our campus.” With this motto in mind, we invite you to discover works of art by bicycle. From Domplatz to the University Hospital to the new buildings at the Natural Science Centre – there are numerous artworks all over campus that are waiting to be discovered and discussed. The spectrum ranges from works dating back to Germany’s economic miracle of the 1950s to the latest pieces of contemporary art. On this tour you can literally bike your way through modern art history. Visit the Münster Marketing website [de] for a list of bike rental firms in Münster.
