Minden-Lübbecke District, Administrative district in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany

The Minden-Lübbecke district spans across varied landscapes including the Weser River, Wiehen Hills, and extensive moorlands in northeastern North Rhine-Westphalia.

The district emerged from the medieval Bishopric of Minden, later becoming part of Brandenburg and Prussia before its current formation through a 1973 merger.

The region maintains numerous operational historic mills connected through the Westphalian Mill Route, earning its nickname Mühlenkreis among local residents.

The district connects to major transport networks through the A30 motorway and Ravensberg Railway, providing regular service to surrounding cities including Bielefeld.

The Jordansprudel in Bad Oeynhausen produces the highest carbonated thermal salt water fountain globally, reaching heights of 40 meters in favorable conditions.
