    Munster, Germany has a population of 300,000 people within an area of 302.9 square kilometers. The city has a warm, temperate climate and architectural styles that are predominantly Gothic and Baroque. The civic center of Munster is enclosed by a green belt and contains the main market, town halls, office buildings, recreational areas, and a central church. The green belt acts as a buffer from urban sprawl, encloses the civic center, minimizes vehicular traffic, and increases social connectivity within the city.
