History+

The origins of the Franciscans in Paderborn trace back to approximately 1232, when brothers of the order settled in the Johanneskloster am Kamp. This initial monastery existed until the 16th century, when it was abandoned due to the Reformation, with the last Franciscans leaving around 1530. The buildings were later taken over by the Jesuits. In 1658, a new Franciscan monastery was established on Westernstraße. The religious received a house with a garden as a gift and moved in during March of the same year.
