history

The Edelhofkapelle forms the core of the village "Rikelinge", first mentioned in a document between 1185 and 1206, while a Theodericus de Riclinge is documented as early as 1124. Around 1340, the von Alten family, as landowners and builders, built the Marienkapelle on the grounds of the Edelhof. During the air raids on Hanover in World War II , the chapel was partially destroyed and rebuilt from 1963 to 1966.
