MD2nd Says: The Neuhaus Castle in the Westphalian city of Paderborn was built from 1524 to 1526 in style of Weser-Renaissance. Until 1802 it has been the seat of the prince-bishops of Paderborn and from then it was used for military purposes - until 1945 by Prussia and then unteil 1964...
Maria250 Says: The Libori Fest is an annually celebrated nine-days church and people's event in Paderborn. This event is one of the largest and oldest celebrations in Germany, and the most important one when it comes to the traditions of Paderborn. The Libori Fest is called Paderborn's 5th...
Maria250 Says: Paderborn's Libori Galerie is a lovely mall, not over fancy, not over exciting but nice and neat, near the center, park and pedestrian zone. Parking house looked rather small with less space for big cars.
Kathrin_E Says: World War II bombs spared one single block of old Paderborn, North of the Dom behind the Pader springs, in Hathumarstraße and Auf den Dielen. This is the only street in town where you can still see a row of half-timbered houses. The prettiest house of them all ist the...
Kathrin_E Says: The chapel between Dom and Pfalz was erected under Bishop Meinwerk in the first quarter of the 11th century. Rumours tell that it was built by Greek builders, but according to experts these rumours cannot be trusted.Anyway, the chapel with its slender columns, dome vaults...
Dom - The Chapel for the Victims of World War II
Kathrin_E Says: The little chapel at the far end of the cloister on the way to the three hares window is dedicated to the victims of World War II. It is decorated with mosaics all over. Despite its bright colours it is easily overlooked, as it is rather dark and hidden behind a gate.Agnes...
Kaiserpfalz – the Imperial Palace
Kathrin_E Says: The Kaiserpfalz behind the cathedral is a reconstruction. In 1964 archeologists found the foundation of Charlemagne's palace, the very same place where king and pope had negotiated the coronation in 799. Until 1977 the archeologists also unearthed the much better preserved...
Kathrin_E Says: The historical city hall still is the centre of the city's administration. The renaissance façade with its three gables overlooks the series of squares in front, Rathausplatz and Marienplatz. The Ratskeller underneath is a good restaurant.

Alte Residenz: Pan fried pork at nice place
MD2nd Says: Alte Residenz is a nice place with seats outdoor in front of restaurant's entry under a few trees, and along the main road of Paderborn's Neuhaus. Pretty noisy but still very nice to dine out there since it's joy to visit in Paderborn anyway, also Alte Residenz is located...

Pflaumenbaum: International Student Parties @ Pflaumenbaum
SiCkb0y Says: Every Tuesday there's an International Students' Special. Students from Uni Paderborn (from abroad and from Germany as well, if interested) meet there, have a drink (to a special price :), chat, and have FUN. Great parties! None
Maria250 Says: Not too sure whether getting there is that easy but for sure it's easy getting away from there as it's one tienniest little Airport. The easy accessibility is a true advantage to elderlies, business travellers and any tourists for that matter. Euro Shuttle from Manchester,...
Helpfulness
At a convention in Münster on historical church vestments last year I learned about the fashion problems of catholic priests. The colours and general shape of the vestments is prescribed but still there are details in cut and shape, material, images, symbols and ornamentation to decide upon. This fashion store in Grube caters for all those needs. Most probably you are not a potential client, but a look into the shop windows adds to feeling the flair of catholic Paderborn.
The shop next door sells church silver, candles, crosses, figures of saints and anything a catholic church might need.
What to buy: Church vestments and all other items a catholic church needs.
What to pay: I cannot tell, for I am obviously not a client of this shop.

A ride into the quiet countryside
MD2nd Says: Paderborn is located in a rural part of Northwest-Rhineland and a car trip there is a treat for those who want to find quiet fields of swaying green grass and the clean air of the quiet German countryside. Less than 10 miles to the east of Paderborn is the Teutonburger...
One shall trust in reconciliation
MD2nd Says: This cemetery is located near Paderborn. In the beginning of 1945, toward the end of WWII, it came to a quick but heavy fight between German troops and US-Army. Cemetary was inaugurated in August 1953. Buried are about 500 fallen soldiers. Nowadays the Military cemetery is...
Road trip to Paderborn in winter

Helpfulness
There are plenty of those lovely, little lakes in Paderborn, surrounded by woods and parks providing with sport activities. The lake where at visitors can rent a wooden, simple-small boat, is located right beside the ropes/climbing course. Beautiful to paddle on a lake's shallow water circled by pure green. Beautiful also it has less a sporting spirit but romantic and refreshing.

Kathrin_E Says: Germany’s shortest river, the Pader, has a total length of 4 kms from the springs to the point where it flows into the Lippe. The peculiarity is that the Pader is born a river. It does not grow from little streams becoming bigger streams, then a tiny river, etc. The springs...
Kathrin_E Says: To support the mission among the pagan Saxons who had only recentl become Christians the second Bishop of Paderborn, Badurad, wanted the relics of a saint in his church. In 836 he asked his colleague in Le Mans and received the mortal remains of Saint Liborius, a former...
