Paderborn - Busdorf-Church

Paderborn - Busdorf-Church
In 1033 Bishop Meinwerk ordered Abbot Wino von Helmarshausen to travel to Jerusalem to take the measurements of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre. Wino returned with the blueprint from his long journey to Paderborn - and Meinwerk started to build the Busdorf-Church (named after a former village).
The church was octogonal with added rectangular apses. Only one original apse, flanked by the steeples, has survived. The bigger part of the Busdorf-Church of today was erected after a fire within the 14th centrury. Maybe the builders of the Drüggelte-chappel, that is about 50kms west, used the blueprint from Jerusalem..
