Wheels of Peace: Münster's Red Thread from 1648 to Tomorrow

Discover the profound paradox of Münster, a city that birthed the modern European nation-state in 1648, only to rebuild itself from the ashes of World War 2 as a pioneering utopia for bicycles. This immersive audio journey weaves together the grand, sweeping history of the Peace of Westphalia with the everyday, sensory reality of a city dominated by the gentle ringing of bike bells. Join Tom, who unravels the massive geopolitical shifts, and Lea, who decodes the hidden stories in the cobblestones, the architecture, and the local dialect. From the cavernous Radstation to the baroque majesty of the Schloss, you will experience how a city's darkest hours and greatest diplomatic triumphs paved the way for a radically sustainable, human-scaled future.
