PaderSprinter is the brand name of the city bus system in Paderborn . The name PaderSprinter was introduced in 2000 by Paderborner Elektrizitätswerke und Straßenbahn AG (PESAG). This company was formed in 2003 through the merger with the Minden-Ravensberg (Herford) and Wesertal (Hameln) electricity works to form E.ON Westfalen Weser AG. Since the end of 2012 the PaderSprinter has been a municipal subsidiary of the Paderborn municipal operations (PKB).
Data & facts
The PaderSprinter serves the entire Paderborn city area. A distinction is made between main and secondary lines. The line network of the 13 main lines has a length of 194.3 km, the network of the six secondary lines 45.8 km. There is a special urban night bus network of 8 lines. The entire day and night line network of Padersprinter covers 331.8 km. Together with the regional “night express” network served by BahnBus Hochstift GmbH (BBH), it covers 514.7 km.
In the urban area of Paderborn, a total of almost 12,600 km is achieved every day. In 2012 the PaderSprinter carried around 16 million passengers. There are 302 stops and the fleet includes 101 buses (34 articulated buses, 23 solo cars, 19 "15m buses", 22 rented solo cars and 3 rented articulated buses). The main lines run every 30 minutes on weekdays. On main traffic axes, several main lines usually run with a time offset, so that in many places there is a denser cycle. The operating hours are Monday-Thursday from 04.44 a.m. to 01.01 a.m., Friday from 04.44 a.m. to 04.22 a.m., Saturday from 05.04 a.m. to 04.22 a.m. and on Sundays / public holidays from 07.17 a.m. to 12:32 a.m.
history
tram
After the failure of a horse-drawn railway project between Paderborn and Senne in 1885, the Deutsche Gasbahngesellschaft from Dessau offered to complete the route. Since the state railway was planning the construction of a line in this section at that time, the construction was initially not carried out. Even the proposal of the North German Railway Construction and Operating Company to build a line between Neuhaus and Paderborn was not pursued further after objections from the State Railway and the Westphalian State Railway . When the state railway did not get on with the construction, four Paderborn citizens received the concession from the city on August 20, 1899 to build an overland tram between Neuhaus and Paderborn. They transferred this concession to Westfälische Kleinbahnen AG from Bochum.
In 1900 and 1901, the following routes were then put into operation:
| August 30, 1900 | line 1 | Paderborn - Neuhaus |
| May 16, 1901 | line 1 | Neuhaus - Sennelager ( Senne military training area ) |
In 1906, RWE took over the business. On January 9, 1909, the Paderborner Elektrizitätswerk und Straßenbahn AG (PESAG) was founded together with the city of Paderborn . The tram was transferred to this company. After the network had been converted to 800 volts, the first extension of the network took place on December 1, 1910, under the direction of PESAG. A three-kilometer stretch between the main train station, town hall and north train station was put into operation. A carriage hall and a steam power station were built here. Thanks to the negotiating skills of director Wilhelm August von Tippelskirch , PESAG quickly expanded its network into the surrounding area. A special construction work was the crossing of the Egge Mountains , among other things, 140 meters in altitude had to be overcome on a three-and-a-half kilometer stretch. The train drove through forest and stopped at the Externsteine . A depot was built in Horn.
| April 8, 1911 | Line 2 | Paderborn - Marienloh - Bad Lippspringe - snakes |
| March 31, 1912 | Line 2 | Serpentine - Kohlstädt - Externsteine - Horn |
| March 1, 1913 | Line 6 | Paderborn, infantry barracks - Elsen |
During the First World War , the company bought all the shares in Lippische Elektrizitätswerke AG (LEAG), which operated the Detmold tram network. The official takeover took place on July 1, 1922. Due to the war, the expansion of the route network stalled until 1920. At the same time, the number of passengers carried increased thanks to the military training area in Senne from 578,000 (1911) to 1,160,000 (1917). After LEAG was completely taken over in 1922, the expansion of the overland network continued as follows:
| July 23, 1924 | Line 5 | Horn - Bad Meinberg, Kurpark (at times also run as line 7) |
| September 11, 1926 | Line 7 | Bad Meinberg - Blomberg , dairy |
| November 30, 1926 | Line 7 | Blomberg, dairy - Blomberg, market |
In Horn, the railway met the line from Detmold, which was opened in 1920. This created a continuous overland tram from Paderborn → Detmold. In 1932, PESAG operated a total of twelve tram lines with a length of 127.9 kilometers on a 79.6 kilometer network. All lines in the Paderborn area ran at least every 30 minutes, and all overland lines every 60 minutes. A planned new line between Paderborn and Salzkotten was not realized.
As early as February 13, 1936, the Bad Meinberg - Blomberg route was converted to buses. After the Externsteine were designated as a “Völkische Gedenkstätte”, the tram was initially to be replaced by an omnibus . Since Reichsstraße 1 was also relocated and there was enough usable ballast due to the dismantling of the existing route, it was moved on a separate track next to Reichsstraße.
As early as 1939 there were plans to switch all tram operations over to omnibuses or even trolleybuses (trolleybuses). The Second World War initially prevented this.
In 1951, PESAG made the decision to gradually withdraw from the area completely. The rolling stock and the railway systems were outdated and should have been completely replaced. However, PESAG shied away from such an investment, above all because individual transport, especially on land, took away more and more passengers. Then the railway, which mostly ran alongside the federal highways, became more and more of a traffic obstacle for the increasing car traffic. There were quite a few accidents. The car lobby demanded that the rails be moved further away from the road - enormous costs that PESAG was not prepared to bear.
| 3rd September 1951 | Line 7 | Horn, market - Bad Meinberg |
| March 17, 1953 | Line 2 | Queues, Wagenhalle - Horn, Markt |
The connection from Horn to Bad Meinberg was closed in 1951 as the first line in the post-war period. This was followed by the route from Horn to Schlangen over the Egge Mountains. This separated the railway into a Detmolder and a Paderborn network.
PESAG handed over the rights to its overland lines to the Deutsche Bundesbahn bus or to the "Kraftpost". In 1958 the line to Elsen and in 1959 the line from Schlangen to Paderborn Hbf. Was closed in two sections. So there was only one tram line in Paderborn and that was the original line 1 from Paderborn Hbf to Sennelager. This was shut down in two sections in the early 1960s. On September 27, 1963, the last tram in Paderborn ran between the main train station and Neuhaus Palace.
Bus companies
As early as 1925, a bus company was founded with the participation of PESAG, Kraftverkehrs AG Wittekind . This company operated the bus routes Paderborn - Fürstenberg - Wünnenberg and Paderborn - Herbram from 1926 . In 1931 an administration building was built. In 1932/33 PESAG acquired all shares and liner concessions, Kraftverkehrs AG was dissolved, and operations were transferred to PESAG. From 1936 buses replaced the trams on the Bad Meinberg - Blomberg route. From the 1950s, the entire tram network was replaced in sections by buses. In 1961 the first articulated bus was used. The line network was expanded in 1972/74 by connecting Marienloh , Wewer and Borchen . In 1979, Paderborner Elektrizitätswerk und Straßenbahn AG was renamed PESAG Aktiengesellschaft , as no trams had been in operation for 16 years.
The bus route network has been greatly expanded over the years. The intercity bus traffic was later transferred to the post office and the railroad and the line network increasingly concentrated on the urban area of Paderborn. The last to be handed over to the BahnBus Hochstift GmbH at the 2002/2003 timetable change was the lines to Borchen . Bahnbus Hochstift GmbH is a subsidiary of Busverkehr Ostwestfalen GmbH (BVO), it is part of the DB Group and now operates the regional bus network .
A regular cycle timetable was introduced on main lines early on . In 1996 night bus routes operated for the first time in the Paderborn district . In 2000 the name PaderSprinter was introduced. The transport company was operated as a division of E.ON Westfalen Weser until the end of 2012 . Since the end of 2012, the PaderSprinter has been a municipal subsidiary of the Paderborn municipal operations. PaderSprinter operates the public city bus in Paderborn .
The first 15-meter buses were used in 2000. In 2005 the night bus network previously operated jointly with BBH was separated into an urban network and a regional "night express" network. Since then, PaderSprinter has only operated the inner-city night lines in the night bus service, whereby the reorganization has created a number of new lines in the city area.
Current line network
The line network consists of main and secondary lines. The secondary lines supplement the network with cross connections and connections that are primarily relevant for school traffic. Regional traffic is not integrated into the Pader Sprinter network. There are therefore several routes that are served by both city and regional buses (for example in Sennelager, Elsen, Neuenbeken or in Detmolder Straße). This results in a general acceleration of regional traffic, which partly uses expressways and arterial roads. Some regional lines operate as express buses ; not all stops in the city are served.
The table shows the main lines that are served at regular intervals and the irregularly operating secondary lines (gray). The main lines run every 30 minutes on weekdays from 5:30 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. and on Saturdays from 5:30 a.m. to around 6:30 p.m., then every 60 minutes until midnight. On Sundays the lines run every hour from until midnight. The morning 2-hour cycle on Sunday was reduced to an hourly cycle on most lines for the timetable change in 2015.
The stops marked in bold are endpoints of the route.

Lines 28 and 58 do not run on Sundays. Line 6 only runs between Sande and the central station on Sundays. On Sundays and public holidays, line 24 is also served between Wewer and Dahl, which essentially follows the route of line 2 on the western branch and that of line 4 on the eastern part.
A large part of the secondary lines exist mainly for school and commuter journeys.
Night traffic
For night traffic, there is a special star-shaped network with lines N1 to N8 (clockwise around the central station). Four night bus lines leave the meeting point on weekend nights and before public holidays at 0.30 a.m. and 2.30 a.m., the other four lines at 1.30 a.m. and 3.30 a.m.

Tariff
In the PaderSprinter , the Westphalian tariff of the Zweckverband Nahverkehr Westfalen-Lippe (NWL) and the NRW tariff apply . In Paderborn there has been a uniform city tariff for the urban area since mid-2015, which, however, only applies to single tickets, 4-person tickets. This uniform city tariff also applied to day tickets from mid-2015 to July 2017. Since July 2017, day tickets and previously time tickets (monthly tickets) have been divided into two price levels. In night buses, price level PB applies to all inner-city connections. Association tickets or season tickets are valid for night traffic, but a surcharge is sometimes charged.
