It is intended to commemorate the return of the relics of Saint Liborius, patron of the city and diocese of Paderborn, which were stolen by Duke Christian of Braunschweig, known as “The Great Christian”.
On October 31st of that year, the relics of the patron saint were ceremoniously returned to the cathedral after a five-year wandering.
