history

The predecessor of the Benediktushof was the Bernhardshof, a drinking sanctuary founded in 1902 in the vicinity of the workers' colony Maria Veen. The association for Catholic workers' colonies in Westphalia was responsible for this. From 1913 to 1915 the facility was expanded to include a new building, the new Bernhardshof. This building still exists today. In 1924 the Josefs-Gesellschaft took over the building. This is how today's Benediktushof emerged.
