Facts and practical information

St. Benno is a Roman Catholic church in the Linden-Nord district of Hanover, Lower Saxony. It belongs to the parish of St. Godehard and the deanery of Hanover of the diocese of Hildesheim. The church was built in 1901/02 according to plans by Christoph Hehl and consecrated on October 28, 1906 by Bishop Adolf Bertram. During the air raids on Hanover in World War II, the left aisle was destroyed by a bomb hit on October 18, 1943, and the church and the rectory were damaged again on March 17, 1945. The damage was provisionally repaired during the war. In the summer of 1951, a largely original restoration of the church began, which was completed on October 26, 1952.
