Christopher Pluempe and Tim Kempe arranged a guided city tour for the morning. We visited the cathedral in downtown Paderborn. Our personal guide led us along the city’s river namesake: Pader. Fresh water springs discharge water near the city’s center, and the Pader’s born. Along the way our guide explained more the city’s heritage on our path towards the Poseiden Fountain. We concluded the tour with lunch at the Ratskeller followed by a casual stroll through the shopping district.
Later in the day we tried a unique German beverage: Bionade. At first, Bionade seems like another soda pop. It’s a actually a brewed beverage which contains no alcohol, and is made from alternative ingredients not found in the beer brewing process.
For the evening, we rendezvoused at the Heinz Nixdorf Museum for a trip to Dr. Frietag’s Bavarian beer garden. The charter bus was full with our team, host families, and prominent Rotarians from two Paderborn Rotary clubs. We arrived to a table large enough for us all and enjoyed a spectacular feast in the garden.
