Many springs arise in the Pader spring area. Some of these springs are karst springs. The specialty in Paderborn is that 3 layers of earth meet and overlay here. For this reason, the springs in Paderborn can have different temperatures and salt contents. A source is even called the eye source because the water is very clean.

The Paderquellgebiet, almost centrally located, is a great green recreational area.

At this point / I would like to quickly / say something about the source:
To quote the incomparable humorist Heinz Erhardt (1909 - 1979), who was known to a wide audience for his pun and “Noch'n Gedicht”, with a short quatrain:
"There is certainly a lot of beautiful about it,
on the element, the wet.
Because you can drink the water.
But you can - also leave it alone. "
(H.Erhardt)

The 6 arms of the Pader spring from a variety of springs. The Pader Springs are among the strongest pouring springs in Germany: 4,300 liters of Pader water leave the city center every second.
This green oasis in the city center of Paderborn is not only an attractive meeting place for the residents of Paderborn, but also many plants and animals use this change from water and land habitats.

In earlier centuries, the Pader springs were an important economic basis for the city.
The fast-flowing water not only drove numerous mills, but was also a component of Paderborn bread and the famous beer.

Germany's shortest river, with three of the five main branches of the Pader River, originates in the western Pader spring area, right in the city center. Water emerges from more than 200 springs with an average discharge of 5,000 l/s.
Today, the Pader spring area is Paderborn's green lung.
