The medieval fishing town of Minden is the district, located directly on the Weser, where the fishermen used to settle.
Many old houses are listed and some are a bit crooked.
A very romantic part of Minden, with old fortress walls and guns

The fishing town is a medieval core of the East Westphalian town of Minden and is located on the left bank of the Weser. The town wall was only built around the suburbs in the 16th century. The fishing town was later included in the defense system of the Minden Fortress and was protected from the Weser and the hinterland with a fortress wall. Today only the former fortress wall built in 1830 on the Weser with slits for gun and cannon defense remains.

The fishing town is one of the three medieval suburbs of Minden. In addition to Marien- and Simeonsvorstadt, it belongs to the settlement cores and is still preserved as a closed area. This quarter was probably settled in the 12th century, as building research shows.

The fishermen settled south of the ford across the Weser directly on the west bank of the river. Between the settlement and the city of Minden lay Minden's first port on the Schlagde.

The fishing town was included in the defense system of the Minden Fortress in the 19th century. Today only the former fortress wall built in 1830 on the Weser with embrasures for gun and cannon defense remains. During the so-called defortification in 1878, this wall was reduced to chest height and today has more of the function of a flood wall, which is preceded by the Schlagde.

The name Fischerstadt (fisherman's town) is - as already mentioned - a reference to the inhabitants, most of whom were fishermen and ship millers. They settled directly on the Weser, while the actual town of Minden developed around the cathedral district and the town hall. But initially this suburb was the home of wealthy citizens who practiced a kind of urban agriculture here.

The fishing town from the Weser side. The wall serves as a boundary and protection against Weser floods.
