Mindener Glacis, Urban park in Minden, Germany
Mindener Glacis forms a circular green space around the city center of Minden, extending over 4.6 kilometers with multiple connected sections.
The park occupies the former grounds of Minden Fortress, which was dismantled in the 1870s following the German-French War and transformed into public gardens.
Six distinct sections of the park bear names reflecting their positions within the former fortress: Weserglacis, Fischerglacis, Marienglacis, Königsglacis, Simeonsglacis, and Wittekindallee.
The park includes walking paths, a botanical garden spanning 5.5 hectares within Königsglacis, and the Schwanenteich pond fed by the Bastau river.
Remnants of the original fortress walls remain in the Fischerstadt district, where they continue to function as flood protection structures.
