history

The deposits of the Stockum limestone (calcareous lentils) on the pointed Kahlenberg were formed about 345 million years ago between the Carboniferous and the Devonian .

Around 100 BC there was an Iron Age settlement in the Dörenschlade. During excavations in 1959, dark areas with charcoal, heat-reddened clay, a large loaf-shaped grain grating stone and numerous hand-made red-brown pot fragments were found here under a one meter thick layer of hanging clay.

Stockum was first mentioned in a document in 976, in a deed of donation from the Archbishop of Cologne , Warin of Cologne , who donated the Stockum manor to the Andreasstift in Cologne. The parish church of St. Pankratius was built in the middle of the 13th century, and the Romanesque cross also dates from the same period. The Knights of Neheim took over the fiefdom of the Andreas-Stift in 1272. Hagen and Sundern were separated from Stockum parish in 1310. The court of Stockum was first mentioned in 1346, it was a parish court. Together with the county of Arnsberg, the place fell to Arnsberg in 1368. A Bernd baven dem Dorpe acted as a free count in the Free County of Stockum in 1482. In 1494 the knights of Neheim sold their own property and the right to the fiefdom to the barons of Plettenberg zu Lenhausen . Christian Johann Freiherr von Plettenberg acquired the fiefdom in 1797, he became lord of Stockum, a noble manor. The Stockum court was dissolved again in 1807. Together with the former Duchy of Westphalia , Stockum came into the Kingdom of Prussia in 1815. The municipality of Stockum came to the Allendorf office in Prussian times , which was renamed to Sundern office from 1905 . In 1899 the first electricity was generated in Stockum with a hydropower plant in what is now the city of Sundern.

In April 1945 the staff of the LXXXI was in place. Army corps of the Wehrmacht under Infantry General Friedrich Köchling briefly at Dörnholthausen. On April 9, a German King Tiger tank, at that time the most powerful tank in the Wehrmacht, was left lying on the Dorfstrasse in Dörnholthausen due to chain damage. When troops of the US Army approached on April 12, the tank was made unusable with an explosive cartridge and abandoned. US soldiers of the 7th US Armored Division entered the village with Sherman tanks and jeeps without a fight. The German tank was set on fire. A US bulldozer later pushed the burning tank off the road. In the following years the tank was looted and later also steel plates were cut from the tank with cutting torches. A letter proves that on September 23, 1948, the wrecked tank, three car wrecks and the remains of two anti-aircraft guns were still in the municipality of Stockum.
