Hiltrup

Hiltrup is an urban district of Münster with residential areas sprawling mainly eastward, featuring green spaces and local facilities throughout. The area combines housing with parks and creates a balanced mix of built and open environments.

The district emerged when Münster expanded its urban boundaries in the late 1800s, converting former farmland into residential areas. Rural surroundings gradually transformed into a structured neighborhood with regular housing development.

The district council of Hiltrup participates in local governance, making decisions about schools, parks, and sports facilities for its 37,399 residents.

A 19th-century train station connects the area with trains to Münster and Hamm on multiple tracks. Visitors find good transportation links and can easily travel to the city from here.

The elevation of 65 meters characterizes the geographical setting of Hiltrup, which borders Münster-Mitte to the north and Münster-Süd-Ost to the northeast.
