The Westfalian
peace-treaty of 1648 can without a doubt be labelled as
one of the most joyous events in European History. These
five-year-long peace negotiations brought an end to a long
terrible war, with far reaching significance for all of
Europe. Negotiations were conducted between two delegations,
one of which was lodged in Münster, the other in Osnabrück.
The "Friedensreiter" (or peace riders), carried
the offers of negotiation between the two towns. On May
15th and October 24th 1684, the peace-treaties were signed.
With the aide of printed flyers, the Friedensreiter rode
to all capital cities in Europe to spread the news of the
signing of the Westfalian peace-treaty. With them they brought
not only the happy news which made people rejoice and celebrate,
they also became ambassadors of the Westfalian way of life
and its specialities. (http://www.dwersteg.de/friedensreiter/index.php.en)
