University of Münster

Universities and Colleges

The University of Münster is a public research university in the city of Münster, North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, known until 2023 as the Westfälische Wilhelms-Universität Münster. It has its roots in the Jesuit College of Münster, founded in 1588, and in the convent of lay sisters Liebfrauen-Überwasser, founded in 1040, from which it took its seal. The convent was dissolved in 1773 so that its funds could be used to found the university, which was established on 16 April 1780. Today two Max Planck Prize winners and five Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz Prize winners are professors in its faculty of mathematics.
