The Old Town Hall in Minden is an impressive historic building that has served as the seat of the city council since 1260. The arcade on the ground floor, dating back to the 13th century, is particularly noteworthy and survived the destruction of World War II.
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.

The old town hall had been the seat of the citizens' council since 1260.
Its arcade dates from the 13th century, making it the oldest element of the building, which was built around 1257.

With its facade, the building underlined the power of the council over the bishop of Minden.

The town hall is the oldest surviving example of monumental, Gothic town hall architecture in Westphalia.

During the Second World War, the town hall was destroyed down to the arcade and rebuilt in a slightly different form.

There used to be a Ratskeller here where you could eat and drink well, but unfortunately it is now permanently closed.
