Paderborn, Administrative district in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany
The Paderborn district extends across 1,246 square kilometers of land between the Teutoburg Forest and Eggegebirge mountains in eastern North Rhine-Westphalia.
The district underwent a significant administrative reorganization in 1975 when the municipalities of Paderborn and Büren districts merged into a single administrative entity.
The district contains seven cities, including the university city of Paderborn, which serves as the administrative center and educational hub for the entire region.
The district maintains transportation connections with neighboring regions through multiple highways and railway lines, facilitating movement between its ten municipalities.
The Paderborn Plateau in the southern part of the district rises from 77 meters at Delbrück to 498 meters at Mount Bleiwäsche.
