Guided Story
Take a look at the intricate Gothic Revival details designed by Christoph Hehl. The facade of St. Benno Church is a testament to the skilled craftsmanship of the early 20th century. You're standing at a place that has witnessed much over the years. It was on October 28, 1906, that this church was solemnly consecrated, marking an important moment for the Roman Catholic community in Linden-Nord. Despite the severe damage during World War II, particularly on October 18, 1943, when the left aisle was destroyed, the church stands today restored to its original splendor. As part of the St. Godehard parish, it is a significant architectural heritage of this district.
