Paderborn ist mit rund 157.000 Einwohnern eine kompakte Universitaetsstadt in Ostwestfalen, in der etwa 17.000 Studierende den Ton angeben. Das Leben spielt sich kurz und fusslaeufig ab: das gruene Paderquellgebiet als zentraler Treffpunkt, die Bar- und Clubszene rund um die Innenstadt und die Naherholung am Lippesee. Einmal im Jahr legt das neuntaegige Libori-Fest Ende Juli die ganze Stadt lahm und zieht rund 1,4 Millionen Besucher an.
