“Dear friends, two weeks ago the last performance of “DARK RIDE – The Order” took place. A total of 1500 people attended the spectacle at the Bennigsen manor, and we are still very inspired by the weeks there and your wonderful feedback!” (Orchester im Treppenhaus)

Events at 6:15 pm and 8:15 pm

Who is this mysterious group of people leading their eremite-like lives behind the walls of the time-honored Bennigsen manor?
Passers-by have reported eerie sounds and ringing, and some say they have heard sound waves coming from the ground.
Now the mystery seems to be unraveling.

Crumpled, handwritten notes circulating in the surrounding area invite you in.
At the foggiest time of the year, it says, between Halloween and All Saints’ Day, the great gate opens.
You can join the order – as they call themselves – for a short time.
If you feel ready.
To listen into the dark.
Listening has to be learned anew, they say.
Inwardly and outwardly.
And in the end there would be dissolution, the disappearance of everyone into silence.

We recommend arriving at the Bennigsen manor at least 10 minutes before the gates open!
In the event of a delay, subsequent admission cannot be guaranteed.

Hot drinks are available on site before and after the event.It is possible to travel to the event by S-Bahn, which takes about 10 minutes on foot to the Rittergut. The S 5 from Hanover arrives in Bennigsen as scheduled at 17:47 and 19:47.
