Munster, Administrative center in Haut-Rhin, France

Located in the Fecht river valley within the Vosges mountains, Munster extends across 18.64 square kilometers at elevations between 341 and 794 meters.

The settlement originated around a 7th-century Benedictine monastery, later becoming an imperial city in 1287 with substantial privileges within the Holy Roman Empire.

The municipal life centers around traditional cheese production, which has been documented in written records since the 15th century in this northeastern French region.

The town hall provides administrative services, urban planning assistance, and civil status documents while publishing municipal meeting schedules for resident participation.

Munster received the Croix de guerre 1914-1918 military decoration for its involvement and resistance during the First World War.
