What makes people in the Münsterland tick?

Many Münsterlanders are deeply rooted in the region. This was the result of a study conducted in 2020, in which locals gave their region high approval ratings. They care for, maintain and shape their home with a lot of heart. In contrast to other regions, the number of inhabitants in Münsterland will therefore remain constant until 2030. These results were confirmed by the SKL Happiness Atlas in 2023. The study revealed that Münsterland is one of the happiest regions in Germany!

Admittedly: The native Münsterlanders rarely stand out as chatterboxes. They think before they talk, act thoughtfully, have a mind of their own and like to take matters into their own hands.

Whether in the city or in the countryside, Münsterlanders like to party . They cultivate common interests in clubs and at events. Whether it's a shooting festival in summer, indoor picnics in winter, sports club activities, festivals, city festivals and much more - the Münsterlanders love socialising, their club and their neighbourhood. Because that's what home means. And with their down-to-earth hospitality, the people of Münsterland have already won over many a newcomer.

Conquering the hearts of Münsterlanders and making friends can sometimes be hard work. It's worth sticking with it! Persistence, getting stuck in and joining in will pay off in the end. And you might even make new friends for life.
