The Pader is a left tributary of the Lippe in North Rhine-Westphalia , Germany .
With a length of around four kilometers, the Pader is considered to be the shortest river of this size in Germany. The Pader has an average water flow of more than 4 m³ / s and is thus many times larger at the confluence with the Lippe than this, which also rises only a few kilometers away. It flows along its entire length in the urban area of the East Westphalian city of Paderborn , for which it is eponymous: The name Paderborn is probably composed of Pader and Born , an earlier name for a spring .
geography
The Pader in Pader Springs in downtown Paderborn. There, 3000 to 9000 liters of water per second gush from over 200 small springs in several walled spring basins to the surface of the earth, making the spring area one of the strongest springs in Germany. The Pader spring is - like the nearby springs of Lippe and Ems - a karst spring : from the point in time when the surface water on the Paderborn plateau seeps into the fissures , it takes two to four days to reach the springs in Paderborn (200 to 400 m / h).
Paderquellen
From the western Pader springs, below the Paderberg, arise in a city park the Dammpader , which is about 6 ° C warmer than the other spring arms Warm Pader (no karst spring) and the Börnepader . Dielenpader and Rothobornpader , which were blessed in 1036, come from the eastern springs near the cathedral . The water of the Augenquelle gushes out from under the building of the city library , this is the smallest Pader spring. Further to the north, not far from the historic city wall, lies the Maspernpader spring basin .
course
After the confluence of the spring arms, the Pader flows in a north-westerly direction through the Paderanlagen , a city park, and the ecological biotope of the Heinz-Nixdorf-Auen . After about 2.5 km the Pader was dammed by a small weir to the Padersee . In order to counteract the threat of silting up of the lake and to restore the continuity of the flowing water, a new river bed was created north of the lake. After several years of construction, the breakthrough took place on October 10, 2018. Behind the lake, the Pader flows through a floodplain park before it flows into the less watery Lippe in the center of Neuhaus Castle , not far from the castle .
A special feature of the Pader is an artificially created drain just below the Padersee. Blocked by a lockable weir, the Pader can be directed to the nearby Alme via the Pader-Alme Canal, which is around one kilometer long .
history
Settlement and construction of Paderborn
The city of Paderborn emerged above the Pader spring area and was first mentioned in 777 as the location of a Reichstag under Charlemagne . The swampy headwaters were not settled until the late Middle Ages. However, with the overbuilding of the area, which lasted into the 20th century, the hygienic grievances of the cramped living conditions there also increased. After the settlements were largely destroyed by Allied air raids in the spring of 1945, the headwaters were redesigned into an inner-city park with no buildings. The park landscape and the surrounding development, especially on the western Warmen Pader, are characterized by the style of the 1950s.
At the confluence of the Pader and Lippe rivers, the village of Neuhaus emerged , which was first mentioned in a document in 1093. In the 16th century, the prince-bishop's residence palace was built in Neuhaus in the immediate vicinity of the Padermouth.
Economical meaning
On the upper course of the river in the Paderborn city area, the Pader once drove five mills , of which only the Stümpelsche mill is still in operation today. The mills were used to generate energy, forge and grind grain; there were also oil and fulling mills. The Pader water was used for centuries as bathing, industrial, extinguishing, drinking and washing water. The Stümpelsche Mühle is the only Paderborn mill to be operated with an undershot water wheel , which is also the largest in East Westphalia-Lippe. There are two other active mills; the Pollmannsche and Beckersche Mühle still grind grain for the Reineke bread factory.
In 1523 the first municipal mill-driven pumping station, a so-called water art , was built on the Börnepader to supply the city of Paderborn with water. In 1604 the Jesuits built another water art on the Börnepader to supply their college with water, and in 1626 another one for the Capuchin monastery followed on the Dielenpader. Until the construction of a waterworks in the Senne in 1929, where water is pumped from deep wells, the city remained dependent on the Paderwasser.
Surname
The meaning and origin of the name Pader , and thus the name of the city of Paderborn itself, has not been clearly established. When it was first mentioned in Carolingian times, it was already established in ancient forms common at that time, the origin is thus to be sought in Old Saxon or Old Germanic. Etymologically, there are different plausible interpretations, for example in the direction of old names for path or water .
