From a mysterious first mention to a duchy to a kingdom to a Prussian province. Westphalia has had many faces in history. In the Imperial Palace in Paderborn – a base for Charlemagne during the Saxon Wars – the public can stroll through Westphalia’s history. The multifaceted development of the region since it was first mentioned in 775 is brought to life on around a thousand square meters of art-historical, historical and archaeological exhibits.
