Name
The street is named after HMS Minden, a Royal Navy ship of the line, which was in turn named after the German town Minden and the Battle of Minden of 1759, a decisive victory of British and Prussian forces over France in the Seven Years' War. She served as a hospital ship in Hong Kong after a typhoon destroyed the shore-based Royal Naval Hospital at Hong Kong on 22 July 1841.Nonetheless, the Chinese name of the street was a mistranslation, as it has little to do with the Southeast Asian country.
