My Trip to Münster

On 28th January 2023 I spent a day in Münster, that was my second trip to the city after 2018.

The main reason of the trip was a special exhibition about Emperor Barbarossa at the Westphalian State Museum of Art and Cultural History. 






As the seat of a Roman Catholic diocese Münster is home to many churches. This card shows some of them. 

On my first visit I was in a hurry and had no time to visit the Saint Lambert's Church, so I did it this time. The Saint Lambert's Church was built from 1375 onwards and is the most important late Gothic sacral building in Westphalia. In 1536 the corpses of the leaders of the Münster Rebellion were exhibited in cages at the church, after they had been tortured and executed in front of it. The iron cages can be still seen today.



27th January 2023: Städtisches Museum in Braunschweig, Germany

In January 2023 the Städtisches Museum in Braunschweig opened a new permanent exhibition about industrial history, which is shown at the branch in the Old Town Town Hall. I went there on 27th January and bought these cards. No cards for the new exhibition yet, but I got those later in the year.

14th January 2023: Russian Church in Bad Ems, Germany

The Russian Church of Bad Ems was consecrated in 1876, when the Russian Emperor Alexander II was a frequent guest in Bad Ems. In the same year he signed the Ems Ukaz in the town, which banned the use of the Ukrainian language in print except for reprinting old documents. As one of the Great Spa Towns of Europa is Bad Ems since 2021 on the UNESCO World Heritage List.



Thank You very much Marcel!
