Air Force Band Münster (Luftwaffenmusikkorps Münster) was founded in 1958 to serve as a military band for the German Air Force. It was initially formed in Uetersen as a single unit, Air Force Band 1. Two more were created in March 1959. Following this, the three units were garrisoned in Karlsruhe, Münster, and Neubiberg. On 26 October 2011, the merging of the three bands was announced by the Federal Minister of Defence in the course of a planned reform. On 24 March 2014, the three Air Force Bands combined to form Air Force Band Münster, or Air Force Band 3.
