Kirchenkreis Minden, Protestant church district in Minden, Germany
Kirchenkreis Minden is a Protestant administrative district in North Rhine-Westphalia overseeing multiple congregations across Minden and surrounding areas. It coordinates pastoral work and community services for Protestant believers in the region.
The district was created in 1818 during the reorganization of the Prussian Church Province of Westphalia, initially bringing together Lutheran and Reformed congregations. This founding shaped the religious structure of the region for generations to come.
The St. Martini Church serves as the main gathering place for regular worship and shapes Protestant life in the area. Visitors can observe how local religious traditions continue to influence the community today.
The main office in Minden is the central point of contact for visitors and community members to find information about services and local events. The area is accessible by public transportation and offers clear orientation for visitors.
The Frille parish sits within the geographical area but administratively belongs to the Evangelical Lutheran Church of Schaumburg-Lippe because of historical boundaries. This exception reveals how religious divisions in the region do not always follow simple geographical lines.
