MÜNDEN, a walled town of Hanover, in the government of Hildesheim, is situated between the Fulda and Werra, which unite below the town and form the Weser, 14 miles W.S.W. of Göttingen. The principal buildings are the church of St Blaise, an edifice of the fourteenth century; and the old castle, founded in 1571 by Erich II., Duke of Brunswick-Lüneburg. There are also two other churches, a synagogue, and several schools. Leather, beer, and brandy are manufactured here; and the Weser is navigable up to the town, where there is a harbour, by which a considerable trade was formerly carried on. The town was also in former times a great seat of the linen trade. Pop. 5900.
