Padberg's literary work as well as her contributions for radio and television, for example in the series “God and World”, have Christian influences. If one follows Peter Bürger's judgment , she has also made “ the most varied and innovative contributions to the cultural history of the Catholic Hochsauerland .” She was the editor of the series of Sauerland paperbacks. In this, works by older authors such as Friedrich Wilhelm Grimme , Joseph Pape , Wilhelm Kathol and Ferdinand Wagener were made accessible again.
