The Zwinger in Münster stands as a striking remnant of the city's early modern fortifications. During the Nazi regime, it served as a prison and execution site for the Gestapo and suffered heavy damage from bombing raids. Now part of the City Museum Münster, it features the sculpture 'The Counter Concert'.
