Munster, Lower Saxony, Military garrison town in Heidekreis, Germany.
The municipality of Munster extends across 193 square kilometers of Lower Saxony terrain and includes the communities of Trauen, Breloh, and Oerrel.
The town's establishment traces back to 1252, with military presence beginning in 1893 when an Imperial German battalion created a training ground under Paul von Hindenburg.
The German Tank Museum in Munster holds the largest collection of armored fighting vehicles in Germany, presenting military technological developments through different periods.
Regional train connections link Munster with major northern German cities including Bremen, Hamburg, and Hanover through regular scheduled services.
Military training areas Munster North and Munster South occupy approximately half of the town's territory, creating restricted zones where rare wildlife species thrive.
