    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.

      The many churches in the city are very interesting, especially the Paderborn Cathedral. The Pader spring area near the Kaiserpfalz am Dom is also recommended.
