125 Years: GALERIE OSTENDORFF at Prinzipalmarkt in Münster:
On December 18, 1889, Albert Ostendorff founded the Alphonsus Bookstore, Publishing and Varia Bookstore. The firm established its business at Prinzipalmarkt 11, abutting the city hall and at the heart of Münster. Although it began in the sale and trade of Christian literature and devotional objects. Ostendorff expanded over time to offer art objects and picture frames.
Andreas Gattinger became director of the firm in 1996. Since the gallery has presented two or three exhibitions each year. We also participate annually in the Art and Antiquities Fair at the Halle Münsterland and in the Cologne Fine Art Fair. In 2013, a restructuring of the building interior at Prinzipalmarkt 11 expanded our gallery space by one third.
