    The Kiepenkerlviertel is one of the most traditional neighbourhoods in Münster's old town, but anything but old-fashioned. Here, city history, modern lifestyle and unique concepts come together. Everything is possible in the Kiepenkerlviertel - from trendy shops for the student crowd and exquisite clothing shops to home accessories and delicatessen. Culinary delights are also on offer, from typical Westphalian cuisine to international cuisine.

    History information

    The Kiepenkerl is a traditional figure in Münsterland and especially in Münster. The Kiepenkerl was a small trader who delivered everyday goods in the rural area around the city. He travelled on foot, wearing a blue shirt, a red neckerchief and sturdy shoes. He carried a (walking) stick, a whistle and, of course, the pannier, a back carrier made of wood and wickerwork.

    Already between the world wars, the figure of the Kiepenkerl appeared as a representative of the Münsterland and is still a symbol for the region today.
