World War II bombs spared one single block of old Paderborn, North of the Dom behind the Pader springs, in Hathumarstraße and Auf den Dielen. This is the only street in town where you can still see a row of half-timbered houses.

The prettiest house of them all ist the so-called Adam and Eve House. The woodcarvings on the gable are full of pictures: the story of Adam and Eve, the symbols of the Evangelists, virtues and other figures among plant and fan ornaments. The house hosts the town's historical museum.
