Within the grounds of the waterway cross Minden is located in front of the information center a monument that commemorates the Prussian Ministerial Director Leo Sympher. Sympher was born on 19 October 1854 in Hann. Münden was born the son of a Hanoverian officer and was a civil engineer with the main focus on hydraulic engineering. He was instrumental in the construction of the Kiel Canal and was therefore appointed in 1899 in the Prussian Ministry of Public Works, to devote himself to the expansion of the Prussian waterways.
