Facts and practical information

The church of St. Martini in the East Westphalian city of Minden is a church building that stands centrally in the old city center of Minden on the edge of the upper Old Town Terrace, and is thus characteristic for the silhouette of the city of Minden. It belonged to the monastery of St. Martini, which was dissolved only in 1810.

The church was founded shortly before 1029 and is built in Romanesque and Gothic style. In 1530, in the course of the Reformation, the church became Evangelical Lutheran. It was here that Nikolaus Krage read out the Protestant church order he had written, the first in Westphalia. The church building was entered in the monument protection list of the city of Minden.
