===City boroughs===
[[File:Muenster (Westfalen) Stadtbezirke.png|thumb|Münster administrative districts. The darker parts represent the built-up areas of the city.]]

The city is divided into six administrative districts or [[Stadtbezirk]]e: "Mitte" (Middle), "Nord" (North), "Ost" (East), "West", "Süd-Ost" (South-East) and "Hiltrup". Each district is represented by a council of 19 representatives elected in local elections. Heading each council is the district mayor, or ''Bezirksvorsteher''. Every district is subdivided into residential quarters (''Wohnbereiche''). This official term, however, is not used in common speech, as there are no discrete definitions of the individual quarters. The term "Stadtteil" is used instead, mainly referring to the incorporated communities. The districts are also divided into 45 statistical districts.

The following list names each district with its residential and additional quarters. These are the official names, which partly differ from the usage in common speech.<ref>{{cite web |title=Hauptsatzung der Stadt Münster vom 21.12.1995 |language=de |url=http://www5.stadt-muenster.de/ortsrecht/dokumente/10_01.pdf |trans-title=Main constitution of the city of Münster on 21 December 1995 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080409035848/http://www5.stadt-muenster.de/ortsrecht/dokumente/10_01.pdf |archive-date=9 April 2008}}</ref>
