Bad Driburg
Bad Driburg (German: [baːt ˈdʁiːˌbʊʁk] ⓘ) is a town and spa in Höxter district in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany, situated on the river Aa and the Altenbeken–Kreiensen railway.
Bad Driburg lies on the eastern slopes of the Eggegebirge which is roughly 20 km east of Paderborn.
Bad Driburg consists of 10 districts:
Archaeological finds bear witness to settlement in the Driburg area between about 3000 and 1800 BC, in the Middle and New Stone Age.
Further important finds from the Bronze Age attest to quite a high culture living in the area between about 1800 and 600 BC.
Finds of potsherds and above all coins dating up to AD 15 show at least that there was peaceful trade between the Romans and the Cherusci, a Germanic tribe living in the area in antiquity.
In 772, Charlemagne began military operations against the Saxons. Shortly thereafter, one of the churches consecrated to Saint Peter was built on the Iburg. This is one of the oldest churches in historic Saxony.
In 868, the Bishop of Paderborn founded the convent at Neuenheerse, now a constituent community of Bad Driburg. The convent church was built much later, in the early 12th century.
