Stadthafen

The harbour of Münster in Westfalen, Germany – also known as Stadthafen I – is a former harbour used for ships passing the Dortmund-Ems channel. It was opened in 1899 and goods unloaded here where wood, building materials and grain – but also things imported from the colonies Germany had by that time. Usage of the harbour declined in the second half of the 20th century and an alternative use had to be found.

Left-wing publishing houses moved in, a disco opened close to the water. Then the concept of the Kreativkai was born: the city planned to give this space to restaurants, bars, clubs and small providers. Today this it what you can find there: good restaurants, chains like Vapiano, clubs with a good cultural offer and also a cinema. A good area to have a nice evening!
