Minden Cathedral (St. Gorgonius and St. Peter the Apostle)

Highlight • Religious Site

As in many cities, the city of Minden has developed around the cathedral. It is still the center of the city today. The cathedral is an early Gothic hall church and its shape from the 13th century is unique in Germany. When you're in Minden, be sure to take a look inside the church. It is incredibly beautiful and you can learn a lot about its history.

Old Town Hall, Minden

Highlight • Historical Site

The Old Town Hall in Minden is an impressive historic building that has served as the seat of the city council since 1260. The arcade on the ground floor, dating back to the 13th century, is particularly noteworthy and survived the destruction of World War II.
The town hall stands on the market square and is an outstanding example of Gothic architecture in Westphalia. A major renovation was carried out in the 17th century, during which a prestigious Renaissance-style town hall was created.
After the war, the town hall was rebuilt, preserving the early Gothic arcade.

Löwenapotheke Minden

Highlight • Historical Site

See photo info board.

In addition, you should definitely take a look through the window. The complete old pharmacy furnishings can be discovered.

The Löwenapotheke and the Schmieding house, diagonally opposite, had the same architect.

Schmieding House, Minden

Highlight • Historical Site

The "Haus Schmieding" looks older than it actually is. It was not until 1909 that the merchant Hermann Schmieding built this house with its picturesque half-timbered facade for his wife.
The Schmieding couple got married in Hildesheim Cathedral and it was on this occasion that his wife fell in love with the Bone Crusher office building, so that the loving husband erected a building for her based on this impressive building in their hometown.

It is a typical example of the historicizing architecture of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Architectural styles of bygone eras are reflected here.
Here it is the Nordic Renaissance that is referred to by the half-timbered structure, the protruding bay window and the very steep roof. The rich plant ornaments also point back to the Renaissance, but at the same time show clear Art Nouveau influences.
Above the ground floor, a frieze in the form of silhouettes shows images from Minden's history.

St. Martini Protestant Church (Minden)

Highlight • Religious Site

There are several places of worship in Minden, one of which is St. Martini. Whoever goes inside takes a little trip to Minden in the Middle Ages.

Old Mint (Minden)

Highlight • Historical Site

The Alte Münze is a building in the East Westphalian city of Minden in North Rhine-Westphalia. It was built around 1260. The house is considered the oldest stone house in Westphalia. [1] [2] The three-storey house is made up of sandstone blocks. It is provided with a stepped gable and Gothic tracery windows from the 13th century. They were only uncovered in 1928. In a phase of renovation at the beginning of the 17th century, the building was given an alignment and a portal of the late Renaissance.

For a long time it was assumed that this building used to be the Minden coin, as there were many coins there. However, this is considered unlikely today, since flowing water was required to produce coins. Therefore, it is believed that this was the mint master's apartment from the 14th to 16th centuries.
