Place description

The Kiepenkerl statue is a beloved Münster landmark, symbolizing the city and the surrounding Münsterland region. The term Kiepenkerle once referred to itinerant traders who traveled the countryside selling their goods. Around the statue — beneath a large glowing Christmas tree — you’ll find a welcoming market known for its excellent gastronomy, including mulled wine, punch, and hearty Westphalian specialties.
