Martje Saljé

Martje Saljé is a German Türmerin . She was appointed to the post at St Lambert's Church, Münster in January 2014, becoming the first woman since 1383 to have held the position. "Türmer" and "Türmerin" are not officially designated job titles in Germany and it has indeed been known for tour guides to adopt the title for themselves. However, Martje Saljé is believed to be one of at least three genuine Türmer or Türmerinen in Germany who are also women. The nature of the duties has changed in recent decades: Martje Saljé's appointment to the St Lambert's post was nevertheless intended to preserve an authentic tradition.
