Stockum manor (Sundern)
The Stockum manor was an estate in the village of Stockum near Sundern in the Sauerland , North Rhine-Westphalia .
The Stockum estate was first mentioned in 976 in a deed of gift from the Archbishop of Cologne, Warin of Cologne, to the Andreasstift in Cologne. In 1272 belehnte the Andreasstift the Johann von Neheim with the estate, in 1494 it passed to the family of Plettenberg . The property seems to have been devastated by the Thirty Years' War , at least information from the Stockum parish archives suggests that the courtyard is described as desolate. In the following years inherited the property
- Christoph Friedrich Steffen von Plettenberg (1698–1777),
- Diederich Christian Johann von Plettenberg (1748–1818), who bought the estate from the monastery in 1797,
- Eugen Gustav Friedrich Adolf von Plettenberg (1805–1886),
- Karl von Plettenberg (1852–1938)
- Kurt von Plettenberg (1891–1945)
Then the family, who did not live on site, gradually sold the land. Kurt von Plettenberg , who later became a resistance fighter, sold the last of the space in 1932.
