Pader springs Paderborn (middle Pader spring area)

  • Tip
  • Park/gardens
Two spring branches of the Pader originate in the middle Pader spring area: the Maspernpader and the small Haxthausen-Pader. This is also where the various spring branches of the Pader unite to form the river itself.

The middle Pader headwaters area forms the central section of the Pader headwaters in Paderborn. It lies between the eastern and western spring areas and connects the two in terms of landscape. It is characterized by several powerful karst springs from which calcium-rich, clear groundwater flows at a consistently cool temperature.

The outflow from this spring area is known as the Maspernpader. It collects the water from the middle springs and carries it onward toward the city center. The PaderHalle is located in the immediate vicinity, making the area significant today not only in terms of its natural landscape but also culturally.
