Paderborn

Tucked along the Pader springs in eastern North Rhine-Westphalia, Paderborn is a city whose character is shaped by water emerging beneath its historic centre. More than 200 springs feed the Pader, which runs for only about four kilometres before joining the Lippe in the Schloss Neuhaus district. Paderborn Cathedral, dedicated to Saints Mary, Liborius and Kilian, anchors the old town, with its western tower serving as a familiar landmark. The nearby Imperial Palace recalls the city’s Carolingian importance: Charlemagne held assemblies here in the late eighth century. University life, pedestrian streets, parks and spring-fed channels now share this compact urban setting.
