Dümpten is the name of one of seven farmers in what is now the Meiderich district of the city of Duisburg . It was the easternmost farming community in Meiderich , bordering the Lipper Heide . The street names Dümpter Straße and Dümpter path are reminiscent of the residential area . Other parts of the peasantry today belong to Oberhausen-Dümpten and the main part to Mülheim / Ruhr-Dümpten .

The origin and meaning of the name “Dümpten” is not clear. Robert Jahn argues that the name can be translated as "foggy field". Dümpten is mentioned for the first time in the 10th century in a manuscript from the Werden monastery , which owned property in Dümpten and is known as "Dumiti". A Lambertus de Dumete is mentioned in a document in 1092. In 1376 a "House Dümpten" is mentioned, which Konrad Stecke has as a fief of Count Dietrich von der Mark. In 1466 Goswin Stecke sold parts of his property to Wilhelm von Limburg-Styrum. For the year 1734 it has been handed down that the Baron von Quadt-Wickrath, who was seated at Hagen Castle, owned 13 farms within the Dümpten farmers.

The most important property next to Hagen Castle was the "Eickenhof", which had been given to the Lords of Götterswick residing at Hagen Castle as a Klevian fief. In 1442 Goswin Stecke bought the farm. Later owners named themselves after this farm, in 1553 an Arnt Groteicken and in 1616 a Johann in the Grosse Eichen. In the course of industrialization, the Westende colliery was built on parts of the Eickenhof and a rolling mill was built on another part of the Eickenhof property.

Southeast of the Eickenhof was the "Ratingshof", which was first mentioned in 1429 and was owned by the von Meiderich family. Due to subsidence due to mining, the Ratingsee was created towards the end of the 19th century, which was backfilled in 1911 with the amounts of soil obtained during the construction of the Rhine-Herne Canal . In 1927 and 1928, the Ratingsee settlement was built on the site of the filled-in lake .

There were other large farms in the Dümpten farming community, for example the “Giesenhof”, “Beekmannshof” and “Klennenhof”. At the “Schulte-Dümpten-Hof”, Gert Scholten, the owner of the farm, is known to have been the first Dümptener Schulte in 1540.

The "Kolkerhof", also "Kolkmannshof", is the southeasternmost of the Dümptener Höfe and is located in the Ruhr meadows near the old Ruhr ferry, the "Aaker ferry". Today the farm belongs to the area of ​​the city of Mülheim and is still managed. The farm is first mentioned in 1334 when it was sold by Eberwin von Götterswick to a Wetzel von Landsberg. In the late Middle Ages the court was owned by the Lords of Limburg-Styrum, and later owned by Hamborn Abbey. In the 18th century the courtyard still had a residential tower, a "Spieker", which u. a. was built to defend the court.

In 1867, the Bergisch-Märkische Eisenbahn-Gesellschaft built a railway line to Duisburg-Ruhrort as a continuation of its Ruhr area route, but a separate Dümpten stop was not set up until 1954. The line between Mülheim-Styrum and Duisburg-Meiderich, and with it the stopping point, were closed in 1995 as part of the expansion of the Duisburg Stadtbahn , the line is now a green corridor.
