Schmieding House, Minden
Highlight • Historical Site
The Schmieding couple got married in Hildesheim Cathedral and it was on this occasion that his wife fell in love with the Bone Crusher office building, so that the loving husband erected a building for her based on this impressive building in their hometown.
It is a typical example of the historicizing architecture of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Architectural styles of bygone eras are reflected here.
Here it is the Nordic Renaissance that is referred to by the half-timbered structure, the protruding bay window and the very steep roof. The rich plant ornaments also point back to the Renaissance, but at the same time show clear Art Nouveau influences.
Above the ground floor, a frieze in the form of silhouettes shows images from Minden's history.

Old Town Hall, Minden
Highlight • Historical Site
The town hall stands on the market square and is an outstanding example of Gothic architecture in Westphalia. A major renovation was carried out in the 17th century, during which a prestigious Renaissance-style town hall was created.
After the war, the town hall was rebuilt, preserving the early Gothic arcade.

St. Martini Protestant Church (Minden)
Highlight • Religious Site
The church was founded shortly before 1029 and is built in Romanesque and Gothic style. In 1530, the church became Evangelical Lutheran during the Reformation. Here, Nikolaus Krage read out the Protestant church order he had written, making it the first in Westphalia. The church building was entered into the city of Minden's list of monuments.

Old Mint (Minden)
Highlight • Historical Site
For a long time it was assumed that this building used to be the Minden coin, as there were many coins there. However, this is considered unlikely today, since flowing water was required to produce coins. Therefore, it is believed that this was the mint master's apartment from the 14th to 16th centuries.
