[编辑] 历史
793年查理大帝作为传教士 the Frisian Liudger (later canonized) to convert 萨克森with whom he had been battling, offering as headquarters his recently demolished Frankish stronghold of Mimigernaford ("ford over Aa河"), at crossroads of the road from Cologne and the road to Frisia. Liutger was a product of Utrecht and the York school of Ethelbert, which produced many of the clerics who served in Charlemagne's chancelry.他built his church and cloister on Aa河的右岸, on the height called the Horsteberg: it was the monastery ("monasterium") from which 明斯特 derives its name。805年 Liudger travelled to Rome to be ordained a bishop, and soon founded a school. The combination of ford and crossroad, marketplace, episcopal administration center, 图书馆和学校, established 明斯特 as an 重要中心[1].
在中世纪明斯特是汉萨同盟的领导成员。1534oq2 the Anabaptists took power in 明斯特叛乱 and founded a democratic proto-socialistic state. The town was recaptured in 1535oq2; the Anabaptists were tortured to death, their corpses were exhibited in cages, which still can bee seen hanging on the Tower of St. Lamberti's steeple.
1648年在明斯特和奥斯纳布吕克签订的威斯特伐利亚和约结束了三十年战争,是現代歐洲發展的基礎。這保證了prince-bishop和主教轄區的未來; the area was to be exclusively 天主教.
1780年创建明斯特大学(Westphalian Wilhelms-大学(WWU), now a major European centre for excellence in 教育和研究 with large faculties in艺术, humanities,theology,自然科学、商业和法律. Currently there are about 40,000 undergraduate and postgraduate students enrolled.
1802年,明斯特在拿破仑战争期间被普鲁士征服,成为普鲁士威斯特伐利亚省的省会。
在第二次世界大战中明斯特大部分毁于盟军空袭,但战后重建保持了战前传统风格。From 1974 onward,该市 was the residence of American artist Moondog, who idolized postwar Germany.
2003年,明斯特主办了中欧Olympiad in Informatics (CEOI).
2004年,明斯特 won the LivCom-Award for Liveable Communities. See leaflet (.pdf) and the 10-min.-long DivX-coded film: the 48mb-version或 the 87mb-version from the official Münster-homepage
