The Stockhauser Busch is a small, isolated forest southeast of the eponymous district Stockhausen of the city of Lübbecke and lies between 52.5 and 53 m above sea level. At the eastern end of the forest there is a trigonometric point that is 52.7 in height on maps. The comparatively unusual naming comes from the fact that in the Lübbecker Land, as in all of Northern Germany, small forests are popularly called simply "wood" or "bush" (such as the deer bush ). From an almost rectangular outline, the forest measures 300 m in east-west and approx. 200 m in north-south direction. The forest is owned by the local landlord von der Recke .

The total area of ​​the forest area comprises 5.13 hectares and is congruent with parcel 026 of the Blasheim district 2709. It is a mixed deciduous forest typical of this natural area; the predominant tree is the common beech. The 2.1 km long Stangenbach rises within this grove and drains this area to the north. For the surrounding area, in particular of course for the residents of the abovementioned neighboring village, it has a certain importance, as a convenient way of procuring tinder and firewood and of course also as a local recreation area, albeit a small one, that can be reached quickly, because within a radius of 30 The Stockhauser Busch is the only larger forest area. The large and densely wooded Wiehen Mountains begin three kilometers to the south . The 44 hectare Hollwinkeler Holz is already outside the city limits of Lübbecke 3.5 km to the west.

From a pedagogical point of view, the forest is of particular importance for the neighboring Waldorf kindergarten, which can use it for excursions and to introduce preschool children to nature and the forest as a habitat. In addition, the forest clearly delimits the still rather rural village of Stockhausen from the workers' and industrial quarters that have been hastily developed in the area around the Lübbeck core city over the past few decades.

The ecological aspect is also important, because in a "cleared" environment, which is characterized by intensive agriculture, this forest island, although it is not formally placed under nature protection, forms an ecological niche for the local fauna , especially for the bird world.
