House Benninghofen was a manor in what is now Dortmund 's Benninghofen district . It was first mentioned in a document in 1268.

The parish of Wellinghofen had seven knight seats, including Brüninghausen , Niederhofen and this complex. Before 1243 the manor belonged to the Krummen Grafschaft .

Heinrich to Benninghowe is mentioned in 1286, as recorded in the Klarenberg document book. His daughters Sophie, Christine and Mechtilde inherited the property, as Johann von Ryne refused the right of ownership. Albert Schliter Sluc von Geseke, called Benninghofen , sold all goods and fiefdoms to his nephew Hermann von Ryne , son of Johann von Ryne , on June 24, 1359 . On January 6, 1360 he referred his previous feudal men Albert, Dietrich, Johann and Sophie von Benninghofen to him. In 1536 the Benninghofen estate came to the Vittinghoff family , known as Schell .

The estate is no longer preserved today. The last structural evidence, a gatehouse, was demolished in 1960.
