Münster and Osnabrück

"Pax optima rerum" - peace is the highest virtue. This truism, stated in 1648 at the end of the Thirty Years' War, was the central message of the Peace of Westphalia, negotiated in Munster and Osnabrück. Surrounded by narrow mediaeval streets, the historical town hall with its

"Friedenssaal" lies in Osnabrück's old town. Münster uses its
character and charm to create a link between tradition and
modern lifestyle. In the historical core of the city, its long
heritage has remained recognizable. The heart of the city and
its main eye-catcher is St. Paul's Cathedral, built over some
40 years on the threshold from Romanesque to Gothic with
one of the most lavishly decorated naves in Germany.
Being located at the intersection of Western Lower Saxony,
the Northern Ruhr Area and the Netherlands the Münster
Osnabrück International Airport is one of the most successful
airports in Germany.
