No warranties can be given for any information provided. Stand: November 2012 3 Altenbeken 1 The Museum Steam Engine Locomotive On 14 October 1977, two German Railway haulers conveyed a very special freight, a 044 Series Steam Engine Locomotive and tender. This ‘Queen of the Low Mountain Range’ travelled to Altenbeken on the road. Following her comprehensive overhaul, she found a worthy position opposite the Egge Museum in Altenbeken. The 044 389-5 freight train steam engine locomotive was built in 1941; with her tender she weighs 128.5 tonnes. In her original condition, with a height of 4.5 metres and a length of 22.6 metres, she attracts many railway and steam enthusiasts from near and far; she is greatly 2 admired, touched in awe and frequently photographed. Thanks to a successful donation campaign, this giant reminder of our railway heritage comes to life each night in a splendid illumination, just like 3 The Castle Ruins and the Spring of the River Lippe the famous Viaduct next door. This is also the starting point of the award-winning Viaduct Rambling Route. Altenbeken, Alter Kirchweg Tourist-Information Altenbeken Bahnhofstraße 5a, 33184 Altenbeken Tel. 0049 (0) 5255 120030, Fax 120033 [email protected] www.altenbeken-tourismus.de Altenbeken, Mittelmühle The Giant Viaduct In the course of a lifetime, we visit countless sites and locations, many of which fade in our memory, however, not in this case. Visitors from the North and the South will remember Altenbeken, if they ever travelled across the ‚Gate to the Egge Mountains‘ by rail. The ‚Bekeviaduct‘ at the entrance to the village of Altenbeken is a symbol of its link to the railway. With a length of 482m, standing 35m in height and spanning 24 arches, this viaduct is deemed to be the largest sandstone bridge in Europe. More importantly, it is the landmark of Altenbeken. The Golden Viaduct decorates the community’s town crest and the stone Viaduct is the entrance to Altenbeken and the gate to the charming Egge 4 Bad Lippspringe Opening times Address Mountain Range. Every two years the Viaduct receives a truly grand reception. Viaduct railway and cultural spectacular (05 to 07 July 2013). Rambling enthusiasts greatly appreciated the opening of the 29 kilometres ‘Viaduct Rambling Route’. The German Rambling Association (Deutscher Wanderverband) classified this route as a ‘Quality Route Walking in Germany’ (Qualitätsweg Wanderbares Deutschland). This route is a perfect symbiosis of railway history and ‘wanderlust’. The name ‘Viaduct Rambling Route’ says it all; the route sets the scene for this true landmark of Altenbeken. “I believed I would find a golden bridge, seeing that such a tremendous amount of thalers have been spent!” the Prussian King, Friedrich Wilhelm IV, apparently sighed at the official opening ceremony of the Viaduct. Since December 2002, the Altenbeken Railway Viaduct has been considered as a “Golden Bridge” in the truest sense of the word. Since then, 20 of the 24 arches are illuminated at night creating a unique atmosphere all around. The ruins of the Castle, a landmark of Bad Lippspringe, are the remains of a fortification, which was built probably at the beginning of the 14th Century. Over the centuries, the Castle was frequently under siege and destroyed. Until the early 19th Century, the Chapter of Paderborn Cathedral (the Dom) was the proprietor of the Castle. Today, the ruins serve as the setting for many cultural and festive events. The castle’s classy ambience has become a popular setting for weddings.

One of Bad Lippspringe‘s natural assets is certainly its water. The spring of the River Lippe in the shadow of the castle ruins is the source of North-Rhine-Westphalia’s longest river. This spring gave the town its name. With a delivery of approximately 740 litres per second, it is one of the most powerful river springs in Germany. The funnel of the spring, in the centre of the source basin, often shines in a deep blue colour and is known colloquially as ‚Odin‘s eye‘. Historically, the spring was first mentioned in the 8th Century A.D. (776,780,782) when the Emperor Charlemagne and his troops camped at the ‚Springs of the Lippe‘, in order to hold the ‘Reich‘s Assemblies’. However, the Spa town has other springs too, for example the bubbling source of the River ‚Jordan‘, which is only a few hundred yards away and the ‚Arminius‘, the ‚Liborius‘ and the ‚Martinus‘ springs – the healing springs of the Spa town. Today, the water of the ‚Martinus‘ spring is only used to supply the swimming baths in the ‚Martinusquelle‘ clinic and in the ‚Westfalen-Therme‘ swimming baths. But the water of the Arminus and Liborius springs are freely available and people are welcome to get their supplies of the healing Bad Lippspringe Spa water free of charge at the various public water taps.

This is the home of the former monastic complex of ‚Böddeken‘. The history of the monastery and the settlement goes back to 836 / 837, when the aristocrat ‚Meinolf‘ founded the ‚Böddeken‘ convent in the form of a bestowment. In 1409, the convent was transformed to an Augustine monastery. Following the secularisation, ‚Böddeken‘ became a government domain, however, in 1822, it changed ownership to the noblemen ‚von Mallinckrodt‘ and the family still owns the estate today. One kilometre south of ‚Böddeken‘ is the ‚Meinolfus Chapel‘ and a military cemetery, which was established after the Second World War. More than 300 victims of the last war, who died in the former County of Büren, were laid to rest here. The monastery may only be viewed from the outside.

The County museum comprises two parts: The Historic Museum of the Hochstift Paderborn is located in the south and the east wing of the Wewelsburg. A tour through the museum provides an overview of the country’s history from the Stone Age to the abolishment of the Prince Bishopry (Hochstift) in 1802. Visitors will get an insight into the life of people of the highest status, the cleric, the poor and those without any status at all. A look at the activities of the early modern state stretches from life in a high security prison right through to the promotion of trade. Interesting monuments, like the historic Witch Cellar, an original stretch of the ancient ‘Hellweg’ and unique sacred treasures of the Baroque and the Rococo, 10 Opening times Address provide a descriptive picture of life in past centuries within the Paderborner Land.

The ‘LWL Country Museum of Monastic Culture’ A medieval convent, an Augustine canon, the florescence of the Baroque era, then a Prussian state domain and a manor farm – after 550 years of a vivid past, the Monastery of Dalheim has entered into a new epoch of its history. Today it is the venue of a museum of monastic culture that is unique in Germany. Significant and precious exhibits are displayed in the premises of this almost completely preserved monastic estate, which has sustained its impressive power and tranquillity until today. With its Gothic cloister, its 2,000 square metres of monastic gardens and its newly designed exhibition rooms, the Dalheim Monastery Foundation’s LWL Country Museum of Monastic Culture invites its visitors to a discovery tour of the fascinating world of monastic culture. Not only “Ora et labora” (prayer and 18 Opening times Address work), but music and drama, food and drink, significant art treasures, the art of construction, book binding and gardening took a great part in the life at the monastery. Permanent and changing exhibitions show how monasteries have played a significant role in the development throughout Europe, across past centuries and today. Not only did they have an outstanding status as religious centres and were great mediators of the Christian faith, but they were also important centres of education, research, the arts and the economic development of complete regions. The LWL Country Museum’s new, permanent exhibition “Eingetreten! (stepping inside – both physically and culturally!) 1,700 Years of Monastic Culture” reflects the history and diversity of monastic culture. It recently received the highly acclaimed ‘red dot’ award for design. The former Dalheim Monastery and its medieval cloister is the most significant exhibit in it. Based on historic characteristics, both the premises and their function can be experienced with the help of modern means and layout; for instance the conference room, the dining hall, the study or the heating room and the library or Information the food storage room in the cellar will take you on a journey into the world of a (medieval) monastery. The exhibition in the newly-designed upper floor of the southern and eastern wing also reflects Dalheim’s monastic history, but puts its emphasis on the historic development of religious orders from the Desert Fathers and the first monastic communities and the reforms of monasticism, right through to the present time. Regular events in the Dalheim Monastery bring more facets of monastic culture back to life, like the cultural festival ‘Dalheim Summer’, which has been held during the months of August and Sept ember for more than 15 years and which brings music and the theatre into the monastery. Another major event in the annual programme is Europe’s biggest monastic market on the last weekend in August; in excess of 200 men and women members of Europe’s orders offer their produce and crafts, as well as delicious food, wines and beer. The Dalheim monastic school bears witness to the fact that monasteries have always been centres of learning. The school offers guided tours, courses, holiday programmes and special theme days for any age group and any group size, including school classes, families, circles of friends and further education classes for teachers.

It was built in the middle of the 13th Century on the crest of the southern ‚Egge‘ mountains as a border fortification of ‚Blankenrode‘. Prince Bishop Simon I of Paderborn and the Abbot of Corvey Monastery wanted to mark the borders of their area of jurisdict ion against the Count of Waldeck. The old ‚Königsweg‘ (the Royal path), also known as ‚Herßweg‘, ran from the West to the East through the town. Today, this route is called the ‚Warburger Weg‘. At its highest 36 the town was destroyed in the ‚Benge Fehde‘. The village of Blankenrode is a new settlement dating back to the 16th Century. The lead pits near Blankenrode and the Calamite Violet, the ‚Blue Flower‘ of Blankenrode are well worth a visit.

In 777, Charlemagne built the first church here for the occasion of the ‘Reichstag’, the empirical meeting. It was made of wood and did not have any side aisles. It was a missionary church, as Charlemagne brought Christianity to local Westphalia. The cathedral as we know it today was built in the 13th Century; the existing buildings were included in the complex, affording various styles from the Romanesque to the Gothic. The cathedral has an almost 100m long vestibule, three aisles, two traverse buildings and one west spire rising 92 metres into the sky. The vestibule crypt is situated beneath the crossing of the centre aisle and the traverse and with a length of 32m and a width of 12m it is one of the largest crypts in Germany. It accommodates the relics of St. Liborius, the Patron Saint of Paderborn. The Paradise Gate (prior to 1240), the Pietá (around 1380), the Gothic High Altar (late 15th Century), the double Madonna (around 1480), the monumental tomb of the Prince Bishop, Dietrich IV. von Fürstenberg († 1618) and a pulpit in the style of the Regency (1736) are just some of the interesting sights inside the cathedral. The interior of the cathedral is surprisingly light; this is mainly due to its fitted long house windows, which were made locally in in a circle; this is a true treasure as the picture only depicts three ears, yet each of the hares appears to have a complete pair of ears. These three hares are one of the landmarks of Paderborn. A well known saying of Paderborn is: ‘Hares and ears there are three, and still each hare has two’.

This is a modern form of a resurrected palace auditorium; its foundations date back to the time of Emperor Heinrich II. The remains of the wall of a Carolingian Emperor’s Palace were excavated to the northern side of the Cathedral. This was the venue for several ‘Reichs’ assemblies. The 50m long hall construction of the Ottonian-Salian palace from the 11th and 12th Century was newly erected on the old foundations in the 1970s. The Kings’ Palaces served as a residence for travelling medieval rulers. It was here that Charlemagne met Pope Leo III, who escaped from Rome, in the year 799. This meeting was of great political importance for Europe in those times. Following Leo’s expulsion from Rome, he found shelter with the King, who helped him to gain new power in Rome. In return, in the year 800, Pope Leo crowned King Charles as Emperor in Rome. The Imperial Palace is the venue for an interesting museum. From an art historical perspective, the Chapel of Bartholomew is the most significant church building of Paderborn. Apparently, Byzantine builders built the chapel in 1017. It is the oldest vestibule church north of the Alps with remarkable interior pillar capitals and most impressive acoustics.

Opening times Address The Adam and Eve House is one of the oldest Tudor-style buildings in Paderborn. It was built around 1560 in the style of the Weser-Renaissance. Its striking façade is decorated with rich colourful wood carvings, which extend in three friezes across the front gable.
