Social Activities

Our conference will offer social activities. Together with the other attendees, you can get to know Münster, its sights and history.

Binding registration for the activities will be possible through a separate survey after registering for the symposium. The fee will be collected from all registered participants at the registration desk.

If a specific activity does not have enough interested participants, it will not take place. In case you have registered for such an activity, we will inform you as soon as possible so that you can choose a new one.

If you have any questions about social activities, please contact the Team Program (fjs-program@jcf.io).

Crime Thriller Tour

Ever since Wilsberg, Boerne and Thiel started investigating crimes, there have been murders in Münster - and not too few! The otherwise tranquil city has established itself nationwide as a crime thriller city - fortunately more on the screen than in real life. However, Münster also has its fair share of scandalous murders and some bizarre crimes.

This tour opens up secret files, traces legendary cases and takes you to the original film locations. There we will show you how Münster developed into a popular TV city - murderously good and criminally exciting!
