The Osnabrücker Rathaus (city hall) played a key role in the end of the Thirty Years War. The "Peace of Westphalia" was signed here and in nearby Münster because most Catholic and most Protestant states did not wish to attend the same peace conference at the same place.
The Town Hall of Osnabrück, Germany, was built in the late Gothic style from 1487 to 1512. It is one of Osnabrück's most important buildings and emblems and continues to be used as the city's town hall today. The Treaty of Westphalia was negotiated and signed by the combatants of the Thirty Years' War at the town halls of Osnabrück and Münster in 1648.

Dom Sankt Peter
Charlemagne founded the diocese of Osnabrück. Today's late-romanesque cathedral was erected from 1218 to 1277 and consecrated 1277. The shape is dominated by the two Western spires, which were built with 400 years in between. The triumph cross in the church was manufactured in the 12th century and is the largest cross in Lower Saxony.
