The Museum Steam Engine Locomotive
On 14 October 1977, two German Railway
haulers conveyed a very special freight, a
044 Series Steam Engine Locomotive and
tender. This ‘Queen of the Low Mountain
Range’ travelled to Altenbeken on the
road. Following her comprehensive overhaul, she found a worthy position opposite the Egge Museum in Altenbeken.
The 044 389-5 freight train steam engine
locomotive was built in 1941; with her
tender she weighs 128.5 tonnes. In her
original condition, with a height of 4.5
metres and a length of 22.6 metres, she
attracts many railway and steam enthusiasts from near and far; she is greatly
2
admired, touched in awe and frequently
photographed. Thanks to a successful
donation campaign, this giant reminder
of our railway heritage comes to life each
night in a splendid illumination, just like
3
The Castle Ruins and the Spring of the River Lippe
the famous Viaduct next door. This is
also the starting point of the award-winning Viaduct Rambling Route.

The Giant Viaduct
In the course of a lifetime, we visit countless sites and locations, many of which
fade in our memory, however, not in
this case. Visitors from the North and
the South will remember Altenbeken, if
they ever travelled across the ‚Gate to
the Egge Mountains‘ by rail. The ‚Bekeviaduct‘ at the entrance to the village
of Altenbeken is a symbol of its link to
the railway. With a length of 482m,
standing 35m in height and spanning
24 arches, this viaduct is deemed to be
the largest sandstone bridge in Europe.
More importantly, it is the landmark of
Altenbeken. The Golden Viaduct decorates the community’s town crest and the
stone Viaduct is the entrance to Altenbeken and the gate to the charming Egge

Mountain Range. Every two years the
Viaduct receives a truly grand reception. Viaduct railway and cultural spectacular
(05 to 07 July 2013). Rambling enthusiasts greatly appreciated the opening of the 29 kilometres
‘Viaduct Rambling Route’. The German
Rambling Association (Deutscher Wanderverband) classified this route as a
‘Quality Route Walking in Germany’
(Qualitätsweg Wanderbares Deutschland). This route is a perfect symbiosis
of railway history and ‘wanderlust’. The
name ‘Viaduct Rambling Route’ says it
all; the route sets the scene for this true
landmark of Altenbeken. “I believed I
would find a golden bridge, seeing that
such a tremendous amount of thalers
have been spent!” the Prussian King,
Friedrich Wilhelm IV, apparently sighed
at the official opening ceremony of
the Viaduct. Since December 2002, the
Altenbeken Railway Viaduct has been
considered as a “Golden Bridge” in the
truest sense of the word. Since then,
20 of the 24 arches are illuminated at
night creating a unique atmosphere all
around.
The ruins of the Castle, a landmark of
Bad Lippspringe, are the remains of a
fortification, which was built probably
at the beginning of the 14th Century.
Over the centuries, the Castle was frequently under siege and destroyed. Until
the early 19th Century, the Chapter of
Paderborn Cathedral (the Dom) was the
proprietor of the Castle. Today, the ruins
serve as the setting for many cultural
and festive events. The castle’s classy
ambience has become a popular setting
for weddings. Following its complete

Experience, enjoy and relax in the unique
swimming bath, sauna and wellness centre for young and old!

Altenbeken, Adenauerstraße/
Am Hammer
Tens of thousands of railway enthusiasts, adults and children alike, come
from all over Germany and its neighbouring countries to take part in the Vivat
renovation and modernisation, the
castle cellar beneath the ruins is used
for stylish concerts, medieval feasts,
literary readings and many other events.
One of Bad Lippspringe‘s natural assets
is certainly its water. The spring of the
River Lippe in the shadow of the castle
ruins is the source of North-Rhine-Westphalia’s longest river. This spring gave
the town its name. With a delivery of
approximately 740 litres per second, it is
one of the most powerful river springs
in Germany. The funnel of the spring, in
the centre of the source basin, often shines in a deep blue colour and is known
colloquially as ‚Odin‘s eye‘. Historically,
the spring was first mentioned in the
8th Century A.D. (776,780,782) when the
Emperor Charlemagne and his troops
camped at the ‚Springs of the Lippe‘, in
order to hold the ‘Reich‘s Assemblies’.
However, the Spa town has other springs
too, for example the bubbling source of
the River ‚Jordan‘, which is only a few
hundred yards away and the ‚Arminius‘,
the ‚Liborius‘ and the ‚Martinus‘ springs
– the healing springs of the Spa town.
Today, the water of the ‚Martinus‘ spring
is only used to supply the swimming
baths in the ‚Martinusquelle‘ clinic and
in the ‚Westfalen-Therme‘ swimming
baths. But the water of the Arminus and
Liborius springs are freely available and
people are welcome to get their supplies
of the healing Bad Lippspringe Spa water
free of charge at the various public water
taps.
Forget your daily chores and enjoy
with all your senses water, warmth
and wellness in the Westfalen-Therme,
the unique centre of wellness in Bad
Lippspringe. A wealth of opportunities
to relax and enjoy is available on 18,000
square metres at the Westfalen-Therme
in the picturesque Paderborner Land. The
Therme provides a sub-tropical thermal
water world, a variety of saunas on three
levels, a children’s paradise, a massage
institute, a beautician studio and much
more. The attractive water, sauna and
fitness areas provide opportunities for
active and passive relaxation in a stylish
ambience at the edge of the ­Teutoburger
Forest. First class catering rounds up this
oasis of health and wellbeing.

Once a year, over the Whit weekend, the
Arminius Park hosts the popular Park
Festival. The ‘Prince’s Palace’, an historic
manor house at the edge of the park was
built as the ‘new Spa House’ in 1854 / 1855.
From here, visitors can meander into the
neighbouring Jordan Park, where the The Aabach Water Reservoir is a very special drinking water reservoir. 8
Do you like flowers? If so, you should
come to Bad Lippspringe, the host of the North-Rhine-Westphalia Garden Show
in 2017! This state-recognised, premium
class Spa invites you to recuperate in its
health-giving climate and enjoy the array
of flowers throughout the town and in the
Spa parks.
The ‚Kaiser-Karls-Park‘ with its splendid
flower arrangements and illuminated
fountains has been designed with particular care and attention to detail. Every
August the park is the venue for its traditional park illuminations. The Bad Lippspringe Spa Forest extends
across an area of 200 hectares from the
6
characteristics of a natural forest site have
been retained; one of its added features
is an outdoor water-play park, which is
hugely popular with the children, especially during the summer months.

Every day it supplies 1/4 million people
with the highest quality drinking water.
The reservoir is 3 kilometres long and
at its widest point it measures 1.5 kilometres across. Once the water has been
treated and prepared, it is distributed
via a pipeline network approximately 90
kilometres long. The reservoir has a capacity of 17 million cubic metres and also
supplies certain suburbs of Paderborn.
Moreover, the Aabach Reservoir is a very
popular local leisure resort and a paradise for nature lovers. The 9-kilometre
route around the reservoir entices long
walks, Nordic Walking tours or cycling
and in-line skating. Enjoy the fantastic
view across the water and the peace and
tranquillity around the reservoir. From

exit of the Kaiser Karl’s Park. 25 kilometres
of flat-country rambling routes and many
benches make it an ideal place for recuperation. The Mersmann Ponds, the Chapel
of Peace and the Fisher Hut (Fischerhütte) restaurant are popular venues for a
well-deserved rest on route. The Arminius
Park to the east of the town was designed
in the English style; it delights with its
expanse, its ancient trees and generous
Greens, where walkers are welcome to
step onto the grass and enjoy the spacious
ambience. An artificially created ‘meadow

Surrounded by mighty trees, away from
road traffic, to the south of the village of
Wewelsburg lies the „Valley of Peace“.
This is the home of the former monastic
complex of ‚Böddeken‘. The history of the
monastery and the settlement goes back
to 836 / 837, when the aristocrat ‚Meinolf‘
founded the ‚Böddeken‘ convent in the
form of a bestowment. In 1409, the convent was transformed to an Augustine
monastery. Following the secularisation, ‚Böddeken‘ became a government
domain, however, in 1822, it changed
ownership to the noblemen ‚von Mallinckrodt‘ and the family still owns the estate
today. One kilometre south of ‚Böddeken‘
is the ‚Meinolfus Chapel‘ and a military
cemetery, which was established after the
Second World War. More than 300 victims
of the last war, who died in the former
County of Büren, were laid to rest here.
The monastery may only be viewed from
the outside.

Wewelsburg Castle was built between
1603 and 1609 in the style of the WeserRenaissance; it served as a second residence for the Prince Bishops of Paderborn. This triangular castle towers high
above the valley of the River Alme and sits majestically on a mountain ridge in
the village of Wewelsburg, a suburb
of the town of Büren in the County of Paderborn.
The County museum comprises two
parts:
The Historic Museum of the Hochstift
Paderborn is located in the south and the
east wing of the Wewelsburg.
A tour through the museum provides an

will get an insight into the life of people
of the highest status, the cleric, the poor
and those without any status at all. A

The Jesuit Church is a unique Baroque
style church in this region; the Society
of Jesus completed the building work
on the Church near the Jesuits College
17
in 1773. The Jesuit
College was erected
from 1717 to 1728 on
the initiative of the
nobleman, Moritz
von Büren. Among
others, the great
Westphalian master
of building, Johann
Conrad Schlaun, participated in its construction. However, it is only
the façade of this
precious sacral
building that was
built in the style of
the Baroque, the
interior design bears
the characteristics
of the Rococo style.
The wooden doors
of the aisles show
intricate and technically brilliant inlay
work. The pictures
on the ceilings of
the church vault are
most impressive.
They depict the cycle
of the life of Mary,
the Mother of God (Immaculata). The
fine pastel coloured integrated stuccowork and impressive paintings form
a harmonious ensemble. Josef Gregor
Winck’s murals and masterly composed
paintings are exquisite and a wonderful
visual experience. A visit to this unique Church is highly
recommended.

mentioned in a document dating back
to 1409. In ancient literature, the castle
is mentioned as a hunting lodge belonging to ‚the Noblemen of Büren‘ and
there­fore must have been built around
the year 1200. An inventory of the castle
from the year 1574 states that at the
time, it comprised of 12 chambers, one
egg cellar, one wine cellar and one meat
cellar, one kitchen, one brewery and one
bakery, one cavalry stable and one corn
dence of these trials is found in the castle‘s witch cellar. In 1631, during a 4-week
period, 50 people were found guilty and
burnt as witches. Guided tours on request.

coast. The exhibition points out the beauty of the landscapes along the River Ems
and the abundance of sights along the
way; it’s well worth dismounting the bike
and stopping to take a closer look. Visitors
will learn information about tourist offers
and highlights of their journey along the
Ems. Detailed information on the area
surrounding the spring of the Ems is
available from the Information Centre.
Particular emphasis is given to the characteristics of the Ems Springs as swamp
springs which deliver water continuously
all year round. Visitors can make the River

The Senne Heathland and its German Heath Sheep Station
Another popular destination in this area
is the ‘Heidschnuckenschäferei Senne
(The German Heath Sheep Station). The
Station accommodates a flock of about
10,000 of these grey-horned German
Heath Sheep. They graze in the heathland
and the dry sandy meadows of the Senne
throughout the year and thus also contribute considerably to the preservation
of this ancient Westphalian heathland
landscape. In March, in the lambing season and at the time of the ‘Heather in
Bloom Festival’ in August, you will find
the whole flock in the stable at the Sheep
Station. During the official opening hours,
the Station sells German Heath Sheep
meat and locally produced lamb sausages.
The north east of the Paderborner Land
comprises the heathland and forest
landscape of the Senne. Several parts
of the Senne are designated nature
conservation areas, one of these is ‘the
Moosheide’, a 450 hectares estate with
characteristic inland sand dunes, ideal for
walking. The springs of the River Ems are
embedded in the heart of this area and
right next door is a 15 hectares estate set
aside as natural grazing land for the Senner Horses. In the 12th Century, semi-wild
horses grazed in the dunes of the Senne.

Visitors are welcome to look around the
Sheep Station at any time; guided tours

Marienkapelle Kleinenberg
Lichtenau-Kleinenberg is an ancient titular
town, an exemplary cultural village and a
popular Pilgrimage of the Virgin Mary. The
pilgrimage worships a Gothic statue of
Mary as the ‘Helper of the Mountain’ and
is almost as old as the village itself. The
Baroque church (1742 – 1758) is the fourth
church building on this site. The most outstanding feature of this longitudinal building is the large roof construction, which
only on its inside is shaped like a dome
above the nave of the church. Its murals
and vaults, the statues of the founders
of the Order and the altar front are most
impressive. Renovations on the exterior

Allowing these horses to stay outside and
being semi-wild made them particularly tough, frugal, strong and fertile and
gave them lots of stamina. Thanks to the
endeavours and the commitment of a
mere handful of breeders, a few animals
of this endangered species survived until
today. The grazing horses are part of a
project to protect the open areas from
being overgrown by shrubs and natural
succession. It is an aspiration to retain

fan design on the breastplate decorate
this treasure. The so-called Spieker served

The Kloster Dalheim Foundation.
The ‘LWL Country Museum of Monastic Culture’
A medieval convent, an Augustine canon,
the florescence of the Baroque era, then
a Prussian state domain and a manor
farm – after 550 years of a vivid past, the
Monastery of Dalheim has entered into
a new epoch of its history. Today it is the
venue of a museum of monastic culture
that is unique in Germany.
Significant and precious exhibits are
displayed in the premises of this almost
completely preserved monastic estate,
which has sustained its impressive power
and tranquillity until today. With its
Gothic cloister, its 2,000 square metres of
monastic gardens and its newly designed
exhibition rooms, the Dalheim Monastery
Foundation’s LWL Country Museum of
Monastic Culture invites its visitors to a
discovery tour of the fascinating world of
monastic culture.
Not only “Ora et labora” (prayer and

work), but music and drama, food and
drink, significant art treasures, the art of
construction, book binding and gardening took a great part in the life at the
monastery. Permanent and changing
exhibitions show how monasteries have
played a significant role in the development throughout Europe, across past
centuries and today. Not only did they
have an outstanding status as religious
centres and were great mediators of
the Christian faith, but they were also
important centres of education, research, the arts and the economic development of complete regions.
The LWL Country Museum’s new, permanent exhibition “Eingetreten! (stepping
inside – both physically and culturally!)
1,700 Years of Monastic Culture” reflects
the history and diversity of monastic
culture. It recently received the highly
acclaimed ‘red dot’ award for design.
The former Dalheim Monastery and its
medieval cloister is the most significant
exhibit in it.
Based on historic characteristics, both
the premises and their function can be
experienced with the help of modern
means and layout; for instance the conference room, the dining hall, the study
or the heating room and the library or
Information
the food storage room in the cellar will
take you on a journey into the world of a
(medieval) monastery.
The exhibition in the newly-designed
upper floor of the southern and eastern
wing also reflects Dalheim’s monastic
history, but puts its emphasis on the
historic development of religious orders
from the Desert Fathers and the first
monastic communities and the reforms
of monasticism, right through to the
present time. Regular events in the Dalheim Monastery bring more facets of monastic culture back to life, like the cultural festival
‘Dalheim Summer’, which has been held
during the months of August and Sept­
ember for more than 15 years and which
brings music and the theatre into the
monastery. Another major event in the
annual programme is Europe’s biggest
monastic market on the last weekend
in August; in excess of 200 men and
women members of Europe’s orders
offer their produce and crafts, as well
as delicious food, wines and beer. The
Dalheim monastic school bears witness
to the fact that monasteries have always
been centres of learning. The school
offers guided tours, courses, holiday
programmes and special theme days for
any age group and any group size, including school classes, families, circles of
friends and further education classes for
teachers.

The Town Settlement at Blankenrode
The former Town Castle ‚Blankenrode‘ is
of special archaeological significance; historians refer to it as ‚the most significant
town settlement in Central Europe‘. It was
built in the middle of the 13th Century on
the crest of the southern ‚Egge‘ mountains
as a border fortification of ‚Blankenrode‘.
Prince Bishop Simon I of Paderborn and
the Abbot of Corvey Monastery wanted to
mark the borders of their area of jurisdict­
ion against the Count of Waldeck. The old
‚Königsweg‘ (the Royal path), also known
as ‚Herßweg‘, ran from the West to the
East through the town. Today, this route is
called the ‚Warburger Weg‘. At its highest
36
the town was destroyed in the ‚Benge
Fehde‘. The village of Blankenrode is a new
settlement dating back to the 16th Century. The lead pits near Blankenrode and
the Calamite Violet, the ‚Blue Flower‘ of
Blankenrode are well worth a visit.

Paderborn Cathedral (Dom)
Paderborn. The cloister of the cathedral houses the famous ‚Three Hares
Window‘, which dates back to the 16th
Century and depicts three jumping hares
Paderborn Cathedral is about 700 years
old and the fifth church on the same site.
In 777, Charlemagne built the first church
here for the occasion of the ‘Reichstag’,
the empirical meeting. It was made of
wood and did not have any side aisles.
It was a missionary church, as Charlemagne brought Christianity to local
Westphalia. The cathedral as we know
it today was built in the 13th Century;
the existing buildings were included in
the complex, affording various styles
from the Romanesque to the Gothic. The
cathedral has an almost 100m long vestibule, three aisles, two traverse buildings
and one west spire rising 92 metres into
the sky. The vestibule crypt is situated
beneath the crossing of the centre aisle
and the traverse and with a length of
32m and a width of 12m it is one of the
largest crypts in Germany. It accommodates the relics of St. Liborius, the Patron
Saint of Paderborn. The Paradise Gate
(prior to 1240), the Pietá (around 1380),
the Gothic High Altar (late 15th Century),
the double Madonna (around 1480), the
monumental tomb of the Prince Bishop,
Dietrich IV. von Fürstenberg († 1618)
and a pulpit in the style of the Regency
(1736) are just some of the interesting
sights inside the cathedral. The interior
of the cathedral is surprisingly light; this
is mainly due to its fitted long house
windows, which were made locally in
in a circle; this is a true treasure as the
picture only depicts three ears, yet each
of the hares appears to have a complete
pair of ears. These three hares are one
of the landmarks of Paderborn. A well
known saying of Paderborn is: ‘Hares and
ears there are three, and still each hare
has two’.

The Historic Town Hall
Paderborn Town Hall is one of the landmarks of the ‚Paderborner Land‘. It was
built in the 17th Century in the style of the
39
‚Weser-Renaissance‘.
The splendid façade comprises three
gables; one main and two smaller gables,
which protrude from the lateral front
sections of the building. The ground floor
comprises two open vestibules supported
by Dorian pillars. Formerly, these served as
courtrooms. The structure of the building
is in the style of the ‚Weser-Renaissance‘
and the front of the building with its many
windows is particularly noteworthy.
The inside of the building has been newly
renovated. Today it serves as the Council’s
official office and as a venue for official
receptions and festivities. The registry
office and family office are accommodated
in the Town Hall. A ‚Kump‘ (well) in the
Baroque style bears the Paderborn crest
and is situated in front of the Town Hall.

On stepping out of the red gate of the
Cathedral into the open, you will see the
site of the Kings’ Palaces of Paderborn.
This is a modern form of a resurrected
palace auditorium; its foundations date
back to the time of Emperor Heinrich II.
The remains of the wall of a Carolingian
Emperor’s Palace were excavated to the
northern side of the Cathedral. This was
the venue for several ‘Reichs’ assemblies.
The 50m long hall construction of the
Ottonian-Salian palace from the 11th and
12th Century was newly erected on the old
foundations in the 1970s.
The Kings’ Palaces served as a residence
for travelling medieval rulers. It was here
that Charlemagne met Pope Leo III, who
escaped from Rome, in the year 799. This
meeting was of great political importance
for Europe in those times. Following Leo’s
expulsion from Rome, he found shelter
with the King, who helped him to gain
new power in Rome. In return, in the year
800, Pope Leo crowned King Charles as
Emperor in Rome. The Imperial Palace is
the venue for an interesting museum.
From an art historical perspective, the
Chapel of Bartholomew is the most significant church building of Paderborn.
Apparently, Byzantine builders built the
chapel in 1017. It is the oldest vestibule
church north of the Alps with remarkable
interior pillar capitals and most impressive acoustics. The modest exterior appearance deceives its extraordinary interior
design and architecture, which is unique

Schloß Neuhaus, the former residence
of the Prince Bishops of Paderborn, is
deemed to be one of the most significant
early examples of the Weser-Renaissance
of this area and, therefore, it is one of
the main attractions in the Paderborner
Land. The construction of the Palace
commenced in the 13th Century and
continued to be developed until the 16th
Century to the four-winged building with
its four round corner spires and its moat,
as we know it. Today, the majority of this
complex accommodates a local school.
The hall of mirrors is a beautiful venue
for concerts, presentations and recept­

for numerous events of the ‘Schloßsom41

It was built around 1560 in the style of the
Weser-Renaissance. Its striking façade
is decorated with rich colourful wood
carvings, which extend in three friezes
across the front gable. The Adam and Eve
House owes its name to one of the figure­
style friezes on the face of the building,
which reflects the expulsion from paradise. The centre frieze shows the symbols of
the four Evangelists. Funny faces of men

The German Tractor and Model Car Museum
Across an area of more than 3,000 square
metres, the museum presently has about
120 historic tractors on display, which provides an overview of the technical historic
development of these machines, from
their beginnings in the 1920s to the PostWar period. The largest group are the now
legendary Lanz Bulldogs, followed by MAN,
Deutz, Hanomag, Schlüter and Eicher. A 1920 Shell garage offers insight to the
history of fuel supplies. An authentic
blacksmith‘s shop and a sectional view of
a model tractor explain the development
of agricultural crafts. In addition, the
museum presents a collection of 10,000

‚Pader‘, the shortest river in Germany.
The springs deliver between 3,000 and
9,000 litres of water per second. The five
arms of the ‚Pader‘ and its 200 springs
merge in the city centre and form the
River ‚Pader‘, which then joins the River
‚Lippe‘ only four kilometres away at
Schloß-Neuhaus. Throughout the year, the water of the
‚Pader‘ Springs is delivered with a relatively constant temperature of 12 to 14
degrees Celsius, which adds a warming
effect to the air in springtime. In bygone
centuries, the ‚Pader‘ Springs were an
important economic factor for the town;

The Lippesee Leisure Park
The Lippesee in the Paderborn suburb
of Sande is not only a magnet for water
sports enthusiasts and people seeking
relaxation, its ‚Skate Park‘ also makes
it a popular meeting point for skaters.
But this leisure park offers many other
facilities too. Close to the youngsters‘
camping site are a beach volley-ball field,
a bicycle terrain course, a street-ball area
and two ‘Boule’ ranges; all of these are
free of charge, which make the Lippesee
an interesting destination and good
value, even if the weather is not too
good. For water sports enthusiasts the
lake provides sailing and surfing facilities

The Thorn House at Salzkotten
An attraction that is directly connected
with the history of Salzkotten and its production of salt is the more than 50m long
Thorn House. In 1997, the town of Salzkotten rebuilt the House at the historic site
close to the Salt Worker’s Hall. The system
52
is hard to miss. Otto von Bentheim, the
Chairman of the Cathedral Chapter, had
it constructed in 1350. Initially, it served
as an elegant residence for the clergy.
Drecksburg Castle was first mentioned
in 1386. In 2008, the inner moat that
had been retained on three sides of the
castle was completed when the northern
part was rebuilt, thus restoring its water
castle status on the occasion of its 650th
anniversary. The third floor of this towered castle comprises the remnants of a
Renaissance mural painting displaying a
‘fountain of youth’ scene.
Drecksburg Castle is now privately
owned and has undergone extensive
restoration. The estate is a regular venue
for cultural events (exhibitions, concerts
and festivals) and a popular stopping
point for cyclists.

The Oil Mill
From the second part of the 16th century,
the Oil Mill of Salzkotten was located to
the east of the town. In 1986, the Salzkotten e.V. ‘Support Group for Cultural
Buildings and Constructions’ reconstructed the mill in the Franz-Kleine-Park. The
Group acquired the technical equipment
of an old oil mill from Wewelsburg and
erected the fully functioning building with
a characteristic ‘kollergang’ on the ‘Crafts
Island’. The compression process with
two fitted cotters and a central release
cotter is a rarity among the very few oil
mills that are still in operation. The ‘Crafts
Island’ also accommodates a shoemaker’s

Dreckburg Castle
To the south-east of the Federal route
B1 just prior to entering the town of
Salzkotten, this mighty towered castle

is fed with the sole water (salt water) of
the near by ‘Neuer Sprudel’ spring. Adjacent to Thorn House is a water-treading
and an arm basin for applications recommended by Dr. Kneipp. A footpath through
the Heder meadows stretches from the
Thorn House down to the south along the
River Heder and into the ‘Sültsoid’ nature
conservation area. The 16 hectares of marshland with its sole springs contain varied
salt-loving flora, which is unique in this
region. Information about the geology and
