The horror labyrinth NRW is an interactive horror theater in a listed building in Bottrop . Until 1986 the building served as a wash house for the miners who extracted coal from the Prosper II colliery . The horror labyrinth NRW has an area of ​​6000 square meters.

history

The prehistory of the company began in the Villa Fernsicht, a restaurant belonging to the Schliemann family in Schwentinental near Kiel , which was founded in 1900. The siblings Ina Schliemann and Holger Schliemann joined the family business in 2002 and changed the concept from an excursion restaurant to an adventure restaurant with various events and attractions. In autumn 2002 the idea of ​​the "horror labyrinth" was presented for the first time as part of the horror weeks.

The success of the "Scary Weeks" ensured that the idea of ​​a dark labyrinth was expanded into an annually recurring attraction with self-made stories and backdrops as well as interactive tasks.

In 2009 expansion plans were pursued, but the administration no longer supported them at short notice. As a result, the Villa Fernsicht closed its operations and the horror labyrinth moved to new premises at the old Kiel freight station in 2010 .

In order to be able to grow in the long term, the managing directors of Grusellabyrinth GmbH, Ina Schliemann, Holger Schliemann and Carsten Föhrweißer, made the decision to close the location in Kiel .

Due to its charm and size, the old Kaue of the Prosper Haniel II colliery has been the new location of the horror labyrinth in Bottrop since February 2015 .

In spring 2020, the horror labyrinth GmbH had to file for bankruptcy. With the decision of April 1, 2020, insolvency proceedings for the assets of Grusellabyrinth GmbH were opened at the competent Essen District Court . The result was the takeover of the business operations of the horror labyrinth NRW by the Erlebniswelt Grusel GmbH as part of a transferring renovation with effect from April 1, 2020. The Erlebniswelt Grusel GmbH is a 100% subsidiary of Paperdice Solutions GmbH founded specifically to take over the horror labyrinth Based in Berlin. Michael Bierhahn is the managing director of Erlebniswelt Grusel GmbH.

In mid-March 2020, the horror labyrinth NRW was temporarily closed due to official regulations in connection with the Covid-19 virus . The horror labyrinth with new escape rooms , observatory and the Zechentreff beer garden has been reopened since July 2020 , the reopening of the Phantom Manticore and Imaginarium Theater attractions is planned for September 1, 2020.
