The Sennelager Training Area (German: Truppenübungsplatz Senne) is a military training area in Germany under the control of British Forces based in Paderborn Garrison. It stretches from the village of Sennelager in the south to the town of Augustdorf in the north. The name Sennelager literally translates as Camp on the Senne – a name it received in 1851 when the Prussians used the area as a training camp for their cavalry. At the time, the area belonged to what was then the Neuhaus region and was largely unpopulated. This camp was later expanded into a full training facility for the armed forces, most notably during the reign of Wilhelm II. During the First World War there was a POW camp here which housed merchant seamen, most notably many British trawlermen who had been taken prisoner after their ships were sunk by German raiders in the North Sea, especially in the first days of the war. (Source: Wikipedia).
During the Third Reich the village was used as a military loading station, and the village’s railway station shows signs of this – there are facilities for loading military vehicles onto trains which are still regularly used by the British and German armies (source: Wikipedia). Henschel had a tank testing ground (Henschel Panzerversuchsstation) at Haustenbeck, a village in the centre of the training area. The inhabitants of Haustenbeck were resettled from 1937 to 1939 to allow expansion of the training area (source: Wikipedia.de). Vehicles tested here included the Porsche Tiger II and Jagdtiger that are now at the Bovington tank museum, and the E-100 chassis that was moved to England after the war (and later scrapped).
At the end of World War II, the historic military base passed first briefly into the administration of the United States Army, before a more long-term handover to the British who retain control to this day, using the area as a training facility (source: Wikipedia). During the 1950s there was a small museum in Sennelager containing a number of vehicles, including a Jagdtiger (with gun support), a Jagdpanther and a late production Tiger; it is not known what happened to them.
