The German city of Münster was a member of the Hanseatic League, a trading alliance in the Middle Ages.

Münster became a significant passage area between the commercial metropolis Cologne and the Netherlands, Flanders and England. 

When in 1469 Cologne was expelled from the Hanseatic League Muenster took the leading role in the whole of Westphalia.
