Career

Münstermann is the winner of several German Championships. His success in the European tour gave him a place on the main tour and 2001 World Snooker Championship in the 2000–01 season, but it was short-lived. At the 2005 World Games he reached the quarter-finals. For Germany, he was part of a team with Sascha Lippe and Itaro Santos which won the European Team Snooker Championship in Ghent, Belgium, in early 2007. He qualified for the Players Tour Championship 2010/2011, which was held in Germany. He has also contributed to PAT Snooker along with Thomas Hein, Thomas Moser and Frank Schröder.
