Münster: True Crime – Crimes, Depths & the City's Dark History｜Germany

We take you on a journey through five centuries of crime, intrigue and the dark side of the Cathedral City. From the 16th century to the present day, we recount spectacular criminal cases and link them to insights into the city's history and everyday life.
 
A PERFECT WORLD IN MÜNSTER? NOT A CHANCE!
Come face to face with corpses in iron cages high above the city, the Münsterland murderer who has never been caught, and learn how the terror of the IRA reached Münster.

CAGES, CELLS, AND DARK ALLEYS
Discover the original locations of the crimes: from the pillory on the Prinzipalmarkt, to drafty cells in the Zwinger, to inconspicuous alleys that became crime scenes.
 
A LOOK BEHIND THE CRIMES
We don't just show the crimes themselves, but also the world in which these acts took place, the social conditions that turned people into criminals, the forensic search for clues – and sometimes the far-fetched presentation of evidence.
