Paderborn City Center

Highlight • Settlement

The city of Paderborn is a large city in the eastern part of the state of North Rhine-Westphalia with over 150,000 inhabitants. It is located in the district of the same name and is its district town, is a university town, regional center and center of the Hochstift Paderborn region. The name refers to the sources of the Pader in today's city center.

Paderborn was first mentioned in a document in 777, when a Reichstag and a missionary synod took place in Paderborn under Charlemagne. The first Westphalian university was founded in Paderborn in 1614, which was later converted into an independent theological faculty. A new university was founded in 1972. The city has been the seat of a bishopric since the ninth century; this was elevated to an archdiocese in 1930.

The city received its current boundaries through the incorporation of surrounding communities as part of the regional reform in North Rhine-Westphalia in 1974, which made Paderborn a large city.

Today Paderborn is the 56th largest city in Germany.

Pader Springs

Highlight • Natural

The Pader is the namesake of the city of Paderborn and, at just four kilometers, the shortest river in Germany. The special feature of this river is that it is fed from 200 sources in the city of Paderborn. Most of the water, however, comes from the six main spring pools located near the city center. The Warme Pader, Dammpader, Börnepader, Rothobornpader, Dielenpader, Maspernpader and the Augenquelle are all walled and supply the Pader with fresh water.

An impressive 4,300 liters of water leave the city center every second, making the numerous arms of the river one of the most pouring springs in Germany. This amount of water drove numerous mills in Paderborn's history and was the energy source for bread and the well-known Paderborn beer. Today, the source area in the city center is the green lung for residents and visitors of the city and serves as a popular destination. The wide range of gastronomy with numerous beer gardens, cafés and restaurants is a meeting place for food and culture.
