In the 17th century, lines of the Padberg family appeared in the area of Eslohe in the Western Sauerland. Eslohe was declared officially a city in 1975, but in the earlier centuries it was a collection of small communities—Obermarpe, Bracht, Landenbeck, Sieperting, Cobbenrode and Eslohe. The Familienverband Padberg in the 19th Century called family members from these small communities the Sieperting Branch.

No official evidence exists that proves connection of these 17th century families with the 14th century family of Gottschalk III von Padberg of the New House and his wife Netze (Annette) von Plettenberg. However, Netze had received as a dowry 40 fiefs belonging to the Monastery Herford in the Western Sauerland. Gottschalk III, as heir, became the leader of the New House Padberg. Descendants of Gottschalk III ruled the New House for two generations, after which it became extinct as a noble house. The last heir was Johann von Padberg. He and his wife, Alike von Slimbach had three daughters who inherited the western Sauerland estates, which had been divided into three parts.

In later years other Padberg families moved to the Western Sauerland for work opportunities. In the 19th century five descendants of these families immigrated to America and were labeled the Sieperting Branch.
