Salzstraße is one of Münster's oldest trading streets. It was first mentioned as "vicus salis" in 1346. What began as a narrow path behind the courtyards on Alter Steinweg developed into a central thoroughfare running from Servatiiplatz to St. Lambert's Church on Prinzipalmarkt. After World War II, the city center was heavily damaged. The street was rebuilt in a rather simple style, while the Erbdrostenhof, St. Clemens Church, and the Dominican Church were elaborately restored in the Baroque style. Today, Salzstraße is a bustling shopping street.

The gray building in photo 1 (today the city museum) was the first Althoff-Karstadt department store in Münster, built in 1906 (as far as I could find out).
