Münster City Library recomments

A vibrant library system that provides diverse access to knowledge and culture – and is full of "LeezenLiebe" for cineastes!

Münster has a unique cycling culture. Whether commuting to work, doing family shopping, or going on excursions: around 38 percent of all journeys in the city are made by bike. “Leeze” is an affectionate everyday term for bicycle. The many bike streets, the car‑free promenade, and the large bicycle parking garages make cycling safe and convenient. On average, every resident of Münster owns more than one bicycle. During the “LeezenLiebe” Bicycle Day in 2025, this passion was celebrated with workshops and a bicycle‑washing service. Young and old came together to celebrate their “Leezen”. The Münsterland Giro is a one‑day cycling race in the Münsterland region, finishing in Münster. It is an international cycling event for hobby riders and professional athletes that has taken place annually since 2006 on October 3rd, the Day of German Unity. This enthusiasm for cycling is also reflected in the film stories. A selection of films on filmfriend captures the feeling of life on two wheels. The following films reflect this spirit: They tell of the sense of freedom experienced on a bike tour, of bicycles as symbols of independence, or as essential tools for work and hope. Documentaries showcase professional cycling, while films such as “The Invisible Frame” open up perspectives on historical borders. The Münster City Library offers the opportunity to bring this “Leezen feeling” into your own living room with this curated selection. Whether you ride your bike daily or simply enjoy stories about bicycles – viewers can experience a cinematic bike tour on filmfriend.
