Mindener Schlagde, River port structure at Weser River, Minden, Germany
The Mindener Schlagde consists of a riverside promenade with wooden poles driven into the ground to create a stable mooring place for ships.
In 1552, Emperor Charles V granted Minden the right to force ships to unload their cargo, leading to the construction of the first pier in 1572.
The name Schlagde derives from the Low German word 'slait', referring to the method of driving heavy wooden logs into the riverbed for ship docking.
The area currently functions as a parking facility with 358 spaces near the city center, requiring payment for specific sections under downtown parking management.
The original port basin has been filled, and the Bastau River mouth relocated to the Minden glacis, leaving only a quay wall for river vessel moorings.
