Martinitreppe

Vantage point/Observation tower
Another plus point is Minden's special urban charm, which comes from the division into a lower and an upper town, which is supported in places by a wall up to seven meters high.
The Martinitreppe offers pedestrians the opportunity to overcome the considerable difference in height. The original staircase was only a few meters wide and has now been extended and designed to create a convenient connection.
Once you have reached the upper plateau, why not say hello to Minden's symbolic figure, the "Buttjer", which stands here as a bronze sculpture. He is Minden's charming plus in terms of history and linguistic culture. "Buttjer" was a term for the inhabitants of the Upper Old Town, which was also a residential area for the Sinti. The Buttjer language was spoken here and also in Minden's fishing town, which was first mentioned as early as 1850 and, from today's perspective, comprised around 900 words.
Take a look at your watch. What is the Osnik cuddling, asks the Buttjer. What time is it?
