Minden Aqueduct, Navigable aqueduct in Minden, Germany.

The Minden Aqueduct features two parallel water bridges that carry the Mittelland Canal across the Weser River through concrete and steel structures.

The first concrete bridge, constructed in 1914, underwent reconstruction in 1949 after destruction during World War II, while a second steel bridge opened in 1998.

The engineering structure stands as an architectural heritage monument in North Rhine-Westphalia, representing German industrial advancement in waterway transportation.

The 370-meter long aqueduct system includes two branch canals with locks that regulate water levels between the Mittelland Canal and Weser River.

This water crossing ranks as Europe's second-largest aqueduct and functions as a central node connecting northern and southern German maritime transport routes.
