Minden, District capital in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany.
The city stretches across both sides of the Weser River, connected by the Mittelland Canal through an elevated aqueduct near the Porta Westfalica gap.
Minden emerged as a diocesan town in 798, later becoming the capital of the Prince-Bishopric and developing into a Prussian administrative center until 1806.
The municipal theater presents regular performances while the Mindener Stichlinge cabaret continues its German entertainment traditions since many decades.
The city maintains excellent transportation connections through waterways, railways, and roads, making it a central point between Bielefeld and Hanover.
The Minden Museum complex includes a dedicated coffee exhibition highlighting the history of Melitta, the coffee filter manufacturer founded in this city.
