Life

Münstermann was born in Münster to Johann Münstermann and his wife Gertrud. His brother Dietrich later became the mayor of Münster.

When Münstermann first joined the Cistercian monastery in Marienfeld, he administered student fellowships. He was elected abbot in late 1498 and received his consecration from the Münsteran auxiliary bishop Heinrich Schodehoet.
