    Hiking

    There - and throughout Minden - there was great excitement for three days in September 1889. Because Kaiser Wilhelm II and his entourage had announced themselves for the autumn maneuvers in the Weser city. He is said to have stopped at the villa of the cigar manufacturer Leonhardi. Since then, Villa Leonhardi has also been called the Kaiservilla.

    Wilhelm's menu at the feast in Minden included chicken soup and partridges with porcini mushrooms. Even back then, such a high-ranking visit was not cheap. The imperial detour cost the city of Minden almost 20,000 marks.
