Paderborn grew around the 200 springs of the Pader — Germany's shortest river — and around Charlemagne's palace, whose foundations still lie beside the towering cathedral. Today the city pairs its imperial and episcopal history with the Heinz Nixdorf MuseumsForum, the world's largest computer museum, and a strong IT and engineering economy around the university. The Libori festival each July transforms the centre into one of Germany's oldest and biggest town fairs.
