The Sennestadt emerged in the 1950s and 1960s as a town for refugees and displaced persons. It has many architectural features that are only noticeable at second glance. For example, the high-rise buildings are spread out in such a way that the balconies are all spatially separated from each other, so the neighbors do not disturb each other and all apartments have sun in the afternoon or evening. The multi-family houses are never parallel, but always at an angle to each other, which gives the settlement a relaxed character.

The Bullerbach has cut deeply into the landscape, so that a near-natural brook valley divides the city lengthways. Together with the green corridor in the north, the valley forms a "green T". Many junctions are also curious: the side streets of the Elbeallee do not meet the main street at right angles, but at curved angles. There is also the beautiful Senneteich.

The urban district of Sennestadt in the south-east of the independent city of Bielefeld in North Rhine-Westphalia has around 21,000 inhabitants and stands out due to its special urban development.

The large housing estate Sennestadt was built from 1956 to around 1965 in the heath and meadow landscape of the former municipality of Senne II as a planned city according to the designs of the city planner Hans Bernhard Reichow, primarily for expellees and refugees. Conceived at the time as a car-friendly city, the concept of “organic urban architecture”, which had been criticized in the meantime, regained topicality.

Sennestadt is on the northern edge of the Senne. The district is bordered on the north by the main ridge of the Teutoburg Forest and on the west by the Autobahn 2. The Menkhauser Bach forms a natural border with the Lippe district in the east. The border between the County of Ravensberg and the Principality of Lippe ran here as early as the Middle Ages. Other streams such as the Dalke, the Strothbach, the Sprungbach and the Hasselbach drain the area following the natural gradient in a south-westerly direction towards the Ems. The landscape is partly characterized by sand dunes. Since the 19th century, the wooded areas of Sennestadt have increasingly been designated as protection zones for drinking water production.
