history

The Evangelical Church in Stockum

The first recorded mention of Stockum dates back to the year 882. In the Werdener Urbar a place called villa stochem is mentioned, in which taxable free farmers from the Brukterergau have settled. In documents from Siegburg Abbey from 1096, it is noted that Archbishop Hermann von Köln donated several farms in Stockum to the monastery. Several of these courtyards were located in the area that today represents the Düren district. When Düren was first named separately as Düren is disputed. Recently a certificate from Emperor Otto III. from 997, issued in ture , related to Düren.

From 1850 to 1929 Stockum and Düren belonged to the office of Langendreer , in the course of a community reform Stockum and Düren became districts of Witten on August 1, 1929.

Ecclesiastically , Stockum-Düren has belonged to the parish of Lütgendortmund since the turn of the millennium and only became an independent parish in 1906, although it had its own cemetery since 1855 and the Protestant church was inaugurated in 1902 .

Stockum and Düren were separate districts until 2013, when they were combined into a single district. The subdivision into statistical districts was not changed.
