The historical CoA of Münster is gold-red-gold and not blue-gold-blue like it is ingame. I suggest to change it.
This is the CoA of the prince bishopric of Münster :

In addition to this I made a National Idea set for Münster:

Traditions:

+10% National trade income modifier
+1 Yearly papal influence


Ideas:

1. Great Procession
"We hold this procession since the great plague of 1382 that killed almost 8000 inhabitants. It shows our repentance for our sins and our devotion to God."
+2 Tolerance of the true faith

2. Erbmänner
"A characteristic of Münster are the so-called "Erbmänner". They are the nobility of our great city. These Erbmänner are the only ones who own passive electoral rights.
If we elect a bishop out of these men, we are sure of all noble families loyalty in our bishopric."
-10% Stabilty cost modifier

3. Encourage the Founding of Monasteries
"We have to assure the maintenance of Catholicism in the bishopric by inviting Jesuits to aid us, and encouraging the founding of monasteries of the old orders.
Some of these monasteries will train excellent missionaries for our purposes."
+1 Missionary

4. Cities of Peace
"The Peace of Westphalia was signed in Münster and Osnabrück. The treaties ended the Thirty Years' War in the Holy Roman Empire and fully established the independence of the Dutch Republic.
By promoting our cities as an ideal place for diplomatic negotiations we are sure to gain high renown across all of Europe."
+1 Diplomatic reputation

5. Recruit Soldiers of the Imperial Army
"It is our duty to maintain a strong army in order to prevail against our Protestant neighbors. The soldiers of the Imperial Army are perfect for our goals.
They are well-trained and battle tested soldiers ready to defend our great bishopric against heretical nations."
+5% Discipline

6. Bommen Berend
"Christoph Bernhard von Galen was prince-bishop of Münster between 1650 and 1678. He was chosen to lead troops of the Imperial Army against the Turks. Furthermore he waged many wars against the Dutch republic.
During these wars he became acquainted as "Bommen Berend" due to his intense bombardments of Dutch cities with mortars. Bernhard von Galen should be the role model for our generals."
+1 Leader siege

7. Support the Schools
"The education of our people is the backbone of our bishopric. The schools in our realm are one of the oldest schools all over Europe.
Build new schools and hire many teachers to provide affordable education. Achieving an educated population will secure us wealth and progress."
-5% Technology cost
+5% Production efficiency


Ambitions:

+2% Missionary strength vs heretics

I did some further research and it seems that the CoA which is Blue Gold Blue was a mistake by Siebmacher (made a book about CoA's around 1600). This mistake was carried over in nearly every major heraldic literature book until the 19th century.

No, but I read a little about the bishopric of Münster and the city itself. Thereby I stumbled over the CoA of the Bishopric which didn't match up with the one I know from EU4. So I researched about them and their history was quite interesting. Münster is ca. 200 km away from my home town.

will the flag change if you go republic or keep the papal things?

The flag (I assume) would be the same as it is now, regardless of government, just with red rather than blue as the center stripe. As a rule of thumb flags and country localization can't change in game without tag change or being a revolutionary state.

I think it is a little overpower... Just key factors are available +1 missionary, +5% discipline, +1 diplo relations, -5% tech cost... it will be one of the best NI of the game.
