Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The Rathaus is hugely significant to the early modern history of Europe as one of the places where the Peace of Westphalia was signed - ending the Thirty Years War. Sweden signed their peace treaty here, whilst France signed their peace treaty in Münster.
You can see the room where the treaty was signed, as well as some historic documents dotted around. I was a bit pressed for time on my visit, so made this room a priority - only briefly touching on other exhibits. The man on the front desk was very happy and welcoming.

If you go into the Friedenszimmer they have the most magnificent record of the peace treaty - they have protraits of all the kings/queens that signed it. This is a very large part of the history of modern Europe - a good one to educate this kids on when visiting! They also have an impressive model of the old town upstairs!

Visited 30 years ago and wanted to revisit while I was in the area. The receptionist gave virtually no info. Little English spoken. None of the exhibits have English explanations. The model of the Rathaus isn’t there. Interesting display of artefacts and paintings and the main hall , seating, pictures and so on were a great view. Free to enter but I do think they could make more of it.

This is a great place to spend an hour or two looking at the history of Osnabruck. It is hard to believe that the place was practically destroyed by allied bombing during the war years and restored to its original condition. If your in Osnabruck take some time to visit and you will not be disappointed.

I was treated to a 90 minute tour with a local. guide and was utterly fascinated by both the history that has made up the. place. Careful post-World War reconstruction connects you well with the past, flavored perhaps even better by new creative architecture blending into the scene.

You can go into this city hall and see exhibits related to the Treaty of Westphalia. There are documents and other historical artifacts in several rooms. It's small but interesting and worth seeing.

What an interesting building form the model inside to the few little rooms that tell a story. Then go so the large meeting room which is also used for balls. If you are very lucky you will see a wedding taking place. Well worth a visit.

The treaty ending the Thirty Years' War was signed here, so do not miss the doorknob on the main entrance with the dove and the word "Frieden" (Peace) on it. The architecture inside and out is wonderful, as are the chambers, paintings, and exhibits. Visit might take less than an hour.

Will it be possible to make a day trip from Frankfurt, covering both Munster and Osnabruck? Are those two places related to the Treaty of Westphalia walkable from the train stations? Are those two places open daily? Thank you so much for your help in advance

Sorry, also if you want the real feel about the time of the treaty then stay at the Romantik Hotel Walhalla as it was built in that time about 1690. Brilliant little hotel right in the mall not far from that coffee shop.
