Abstract: We study symmetric minimal surfaces in the three-dimensional Heisenberg group $mathrm{Nil}_3$ using the generalized Weierstrass type representation, the so-called loop group method. In particular, we will discuss how to construct minimal surfaces in $mathrm{Nil}_3$ with non-trivial topology. Moreover, we will classify equivariant minimal surfaces given by one-parameter subgroups of the isometry group $mathrm{Iso}_{circ}(mathrm{Nil}_3)$ of $mathrm{Nil}_3$.
