This book can be read without hesitation by newcomers, students, tourists, casual visitors, as well as by residents of Münster with sufficient contacts to non-residents. The book helps to address information deficits and Münster-related depressions, and its effect is both encouraging and sobering. In rare cases, outbursts of aggression cannot be ruled out, especially among readers with a tendency towards excessive local patriotism. In principle, reading the book and taking a city tour should occur simultaneously. In justified exceptional cases, this may be deviated from, for example, when outsiders are preparing for a meeting with residents of Münster or when homesick Paohl citizens embark on a longer journey.
