The oldest part of Paderborn Garrison was Neuhaus at Paderborn which dates back to 1370 and which became Horrocks Barracks after the Second World War. The main part of Paderborn Garrison has its origins in the Infantrie Kaserne, which was built in the early 20th century on Elsenerstrasse, and the Panzer Kaserne, which were built in the 1930s on Driburgerstrasse, and which went on, after the War, to become Alanbrooke Barracks and Barker Barracks respectively. Linsingen Kaserne was built in Hamelin in the 1930s; this went on to be Gordon Barracks. Meanwhile, at Herford, Estorff Kaserne and Stobbe Kaserne were built in 1934: these went on, after the war, to become Hammersmith Barracks and Wentworth Barracks respectively. Also at Herford Otto Weddigen Kaserne was built around the same time: this became Harewood Barracks. Additional barracks that were established at Sennelager, a city quarter of Paderborn, also became part of Paderborn Garrison. Gütersloh Garrison had its origins in two Royal Air Force stations: RAF Sundern which was handed over by the Royal Air Force to the British Army as Mansergh Barracks in 1961 and RAF Gütersloh which was handed over by the Royal Air Force as Princess Royal Barracks in 1993. The present garrison was created, in accordance with the Ministry of Defence's Army Basing Programme, when Paderborn Garrison and Gütersloh Garrison merged to form a new "super-garrison" named Westfalen Garrison on 1 April 2014. Hameln Station was handed back in November 2014 and Herford Station was handed back, once 1st Armoured Division had changed role and then moved to York, in June 2015. Facilities under the garrison's control include the Sennelager Training Area.
