The Liborianum, named after St Liborius, the patron saint of the Archdiocese of Paderborn, was built in 1612 as a Capuchin monastery and served this purpose for around 200 years. Since 1979, the diocese has used the Liborianum as a conference and guest house for events with religious, social and political themes.
Within the framework of the now completed modernisation, the historical purpose of the building as a monastery served as the guiding principle for the design. The character of all the rooms was to be simple and clear, the design attitude focused and the materials used high quality and durable. In the centre of the large auditorium, 12 panels of the historic coffered ceiling were preserved. Direct/indirect distribution pendant frames of our Matric R3 highlight each of these panels while providing uniform illumination of the room.
All day and night scenarios possible through separate switching and dimming of the direct and indirect light components (3000K) create a lively image of the historical structure that characterises the room.
