Bunte Brücke, Road bridge in Minden, Germany

The Bunte Bridge spans the flood plains between central Minden and the railway station, featuring four traffic lanes and dedicated bicycle paths.

Built in 1622 by Albartes Schreiber and Johann Hensick, the bridge underwent significant repairs in 1797 after floods destroyed four of its arches.

The bridge's name derives from the Low German word 'buten', meaning outside, as it was located beyond the fortress walls of Minden.

The bridge serves as a primary transportation link, handling approximately 18,500 vehicles daily and connecting the city center to the railway district.

The 2011 reconstruction marked a significant change as it became the first bridge across the Weser floodplains built without Porta sandstone.
