3. Aschendorff Baumberger Sandstein
The sandstone from the Baumberge region near Münster has shaped the appearance of the Münsterland with its warm hue.

In its suitability for the finest details, Baumberger sandstone is unmatched in Germany. Photographer Andreas Lechtape tracked the stone and captured many remarkable details.

7. Aschendorff Münster - Leezen, Lowi und Lowinen
The people of Münster, who likely invented the Masematte around the mid-19th century, probably never imagined that their secret language would one day make it to the bookshelves. Yet that is exactly what has happened. The city guide for those unfamiliar with Masematte, "Münster – even more quirky than jovel," is now in its fourth edition and has been extremely successful. However, not all stories about Münster have been told yet, prompting the author – former local chief Wolfgang Schemann – to release a second Masematte book: "Münster – Leezen, Lowi and Lowinen. History(ies) for those unfamiliar with Masematte." In it, readers will learn, for example, why the Seegers like to kneister, where the Mottek hangs, why the city has a hamel with an anne Malme, why there was a special session on a Schont in the city hall, and why the Oberbürgermacker had a plunger at the Plinte.
8. Aschendorff Wolfgang Schemann
Why is Münster actually so jovial? What is a Leeze? What connects Klein-Muffi and the Million Quarter? Does it rain more often in Münster than elsewhere? Where can you find Germany's most beautiful underground shortcut? What can you do with a Heiermann in a pinch? Answers to these and other questions can be found in this book – a city guide for fans of Masematten, meaning for everyone who has a fondness for the specifically Münsteran "secret language" Masematte. The author, Wolfgang Schemann, born in 1947, is a journalist. He wrote for the Westfälische Nachrichten for 45 years, most recently as the head of the local editorial office in Münster. Throughout this time, he often referred to the Masematte, which he, like many Münster residents, simply finds jovial.
9. Aschendorff Münsterland
Combining fascinating photos and multifaceted literature in a representative volume is unique in this form. Cultural historian Dr. Thomas Eickhoff and photographer Gösta Clemens Peter take a different look at Münsterland than usual: from unusual perspectives, known and unknown sides of a region come to life in pictures and words. In the varied depictions, a broad horizon of the Münsterland unfolds, which may inspire viewers who are open to literature, art history, and local history to take a closer look at certain locations, literary figures, or artists and trace them.
This opulent volume offers undreamt-of opportunities to rediscover the Münsterland and opens up an unconventional and innovative approach to the cities and people of a region. The aim of photographer Gösta Clemens Peter is to rediscover the familiar through a special perspective and a careful choice of viewpoint. His pictures captivate with their sharpness and brilliance. The photographer, who has distinguished himself through numerous exhibitions and publications, has an eye for "the other view"; color design and coloring create fascinating light-image compositions. Extremely well-known sights as well as hitherto lesser-known motifs become extraordinary eye-catchers.
At the same time, the pictures combine with literary works by important authors to form an expressive unity: the photos find their counterparts in fitting texts by writers who have spoken about the Münsterland and its inhabitants over the centuries. The historical meets the present in a look ahead: from poems by Annette von Droste-Hülshoff to Andreas Rottendorf, from passages from novels and satires by Günter Grass to Paul Schallück to aphorisms and anecdotes by Hans Dieter Schwarze to Robert Gernhardt. Laudatory and critical, factual and subjective, polemical and poetic from the pens of very different literary figures all find their place in equal measure.
10. Aschendorff Anni kocht in Münster
In reminiscence of old times, the award-winning design duo Lisa Nieschlag and Lars Wentrup from Münster developed this cookbook. They have reinterpreted the cuisine of Münsterland and given traditional dishes a modern twist. And since we all know that we eat with our eyes, they brought in photographer Julia Holtkötter. The New York transplant pays a visual tribute to her hometown with beautiful impressions. Throughout this backdrop, lovingly illustrated, runs Anni, the true protagonist of the book and a chef as one would imagine. The reader looks over her shoulder, receives cooking tips, and enjoys delicious recipes as well as inspirations from the Münsterland cuisine.
