In the heart of Minden, echoes linger where bishops once brokered power and stone saints watch over ancient streets. This self-guided audio tour winds through hidden courtyards, towering cathedrals, and the city’s most overlooked corners to reveal the secrets most maps forget.

Why did an entire city pivot overnight during a siege that changed the course of European history? Which shadowy figures shaped the ruling church elite — and who tried to bring them down? And what explains the mysterious spike in Minden's population just as its fortunes faded?

Move from the solemn hush of Minden Cathedral to the city’s bustling market squares, tracing the dramatic tides of ambition, rebellion, and resilience across centuries. Experience Minden not as a backdrop, but as a living narrative pulsing beneath your feet.

Let Minden’s hidden stories claim your curiosity. Press play and unlock its centuries of secrets now.
