The first predecessor club was founded in 1907. On 14 August 1907, 20 football aficionados from East Westphalia founded Fußballverein Arminia Neuhaus - the first football club in the district of Paderborn. That club became one of the four roots or building blocks of today’s SC Paderborn 07 e.V. The other three original clubs from which the current SC 07 emerged, directly or indirectly, were FC Preußen Paderborn, founded in 1908, SV 07 Neuhaus, founded in 1907, and TuS Sennelager, founded in 1910.
