Muenster's Prinzipalmarkt, St Lambert’s Church,
St. Lamberti – this hall church built between 1375 and 1450 owes its renown to the gruesome history surrounding the three cages suspended from the steeple of the church. In the mid 16th century they housed the bodies of the three leaders of the Anabaptist sect. The church also houses a “Türmer” (tower keeper) who each night proclaims the time with a copper horn.

Sankt-Paulus-Dom Cathedral of the catholic diocese of Münster
St. Paulus Dom - the cathedral in its present form is primarily a 13th century work. Definitely not to be missed are the astronomical clock, a wonder of the late mediaeval period, the calendar of which extends to the year 2071, and the Domkammer, which, with its works of gold and cloth, numbers among the most important treasuries in Europe.

Gothic Town Hall of Münster
backlighting shot in the sun!
Town Hall (Rathaus ) - a gothic structure from the mid-14th century with its famous Friedenssaal (Hall of Peace).
The Historical City Hall of Münster is one of Münster, Germany's principal landmarks. Located on the principal market is next St. Paul's Cathedral. It is known for its role in the negotiations of the Peace of Westphalia, which concluded the Thirty Years' War in Europe and the Eighty Years' War between Spain and the Republic of the Seven United Netherlands. The building was nearly destroyed in World War II, but it has since been rebuilt.

http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hattingen-Blankenstein
Der Ort geht auf die Gründung der Burg Blankenstein durch Graf Adolf von der Mark im Jahre 1227 zurück. Vor der Burg wurde ein Ort gegründet, der in den Folgejahren aufblühte. 1355 bestätigte Graf Engelbert III. von der Mark die Freiheiten Blankensteins. 1554 war Blankenstein sogar Mitglied der Hanse. 1594 erhielten die Blankensteiner von Johann Wilhelm von Kleve das Recht, drei Jahrmärkte abzuhalten. Um 1607 entstand die protestantische Gemeinde.
Bereits 1614 wurde die Burg durch spanische Truppen besetzt. Es folgte der Dreißigjährige Krieg bis 1648. Johann Georg von Syberg ließ die Burg 1662 abreißen, was für den Ort Folgen hatte, stellte sie doch auch einen wichtigen Arbeitgeber dar. Am Pfingstmontag 1665 brach schließlich ein Feuer aus, das fast den ganzen Ort vernichtete.
Etwa um 1765 entstand die Evangelische Kirche Blankenstein.
Der Bergbau, Eisenverarbeitung und die Textilindustrie verhalfen Blankenstein zu einem neuen Aufschwung. Die Halbach-Hämmer wurden 1804 errichtet. Die Tuchweberei der Familie Gethmann entwickelte sich ab dem 18. Jahrhundert zu einem wichtigen Arbeitgeber. Der Kommerzienrat Carl Friedrich Gethmann ließ in einer Werft an der Ruhr Ruhraaken bauen, mit denen insbesondere auch Kohle transportiert wurde. 1806 legte er den bis heute bestehenden Gethmannschen Garten an. Die Familie war auch Mäzen der katholischen Kirche, die 1810 fertiggestellt war. 1848 gründete Heinrich Puth die Seilwerke Puth. Die Seile wurden im Bergbau benötigt.
Der Preußische Landrat Pilgrim ließ sich überzeugen, die Chaussee Hattingen - Blankenstein - Steinenhaus bauen zu lassen. Sie wurde 1865 eröffnet. Im Jahre 1874 folgte die Ruhrtal-Bahn. Die freiwillige Feuerwehr der Stadt Blankenstein wurde am 2. Mai 1883 gegründet. 1884 wurde das St.Elisabeth Krankenhaus, Vorläufer der Klinik Blankenstein eröffnet.

St Patroclus's Cathedral and
St.-Petri-Church in Soest - Germany
St Patroclus's Cathedral
In 960, Bruno I, Archbishop of Cologne transferred St Patroclus's relics from Troyes and buried them in 964 at St Patroclus's Cathedral in Soest, where he is still today venerated.
The Cathedral is a beautiful example of early medieval "Romanesque" architecture fashioned from the local greenish sandstone. Its massive squared bell tower or steeple can be seen for many kilometers, rising up out of the city centre of the old city and a landmark of the Soester Boerde.
