Minden: Wasserkreuz, Cathedral City, and Where the Weser Meets the Mittelland Canal
Minden has a population around 83,000 and sits on the Weser river in the Ostwestfalen-Lippe region of Nordrhein-Westfalen. The Wasserkreuz (water crossroads), where the Mittellandkanal crosses over the Weser river on a massive aqueduct, is one of Germany's most impressive pieces of hydraulic engineering. The Mindener Dom (Cathedral), with origins in the 11th century, anchors the old town. The Porta Westfalica, a narrow gap where the Weser cuts through the Wiehengebirge ridge 5 kilometres south, is one of Germany's most recognisable landscapes.
The Kaiser-Wilhelm-Denkmal, a monumental statue on the hillside above the Porta Westfalica, was completed in 1896 and recently reopened after restoration. Minden was a Hanseatic city and Prussian fortress. The Preussisches Festungsmuseum documents the military history. The British Army maintained a garrison in Minden until 1994. The Weser Renaissance architecture in the old town reflects 16th-century prosperity. Adult companionship follows NRW's regulatory framework.
