Sennelager was founded in 1851 as a Prussian cavalry training camp (hence the name) in the almost deserted part of the Senne that belonged to the Neuhaus community at that time . Later, especially during the time of the German Empire from 1890, it was further expanded to become a military training area.

The Senne training area was taken over by the city of Paderborn on November 10, 1847 and "put into service". In 1881 this was expanded as a "cavalry parade ground" on Thieves' Way. On November 24, 1888, in the course of a further expansion, it was declared a "cavalry training area". The area has been known as the "Senne military training area" since 1882.
