About Stockum
Where to stay in Stockum
Where you base yourself shapes the visit — here's the character of each area.
The Löbbecke Museum und Aquazoo is the reason most visitors come to Stockum, and a room in Borough 5 leaves that collection, the airport at Lohausen and Kaiserswerth on the other side all within one short circuit. Church names fill the rest. Anyone weighing central Düsseldorf against this quarter is choosing between museum evenings downtown and a settled residential stretch where the Erlöserkirche and the Tersteegen Kirche are the landmarks on the walk home.
About Stockum
What are the main landmarks in Stockum?
Two museums and a row of churches. The Löbbecke Museum und Aquazoo is the better known of the pair, and the Museum und Archiv der Deutschen Gesellschaft für Urologie gives the quarter a second and far more specialised collection that few visitors arrive expecting to find. Christ Church, the Tersteegen Kirche, the Erlöserkirche and Heilige Familie carry the parish side.
One memorial stands apart: the Gedenkstein für die Opfer des 10. Januar 1919 in Düsseldorf.
What is the history of Stockum?
No charter year attaches to Stockum. The record places it among the quarters of Düsseldorf in Borough 5, hemmed by Kaiserswerth, Kalkum, Lohausen, Unterrath and Golzheim, and offers no date for the settlement itself. One fixed date does survive.
The Gedenkstein für die Opfer des 10. Januar 1919 in Düsseldorf keeps the victims of that day in view, and the parish buildings, Christ Church, the Tersteegen Kirche, Heilige Familie, account for most of the rest of what the register holds.
Where is Stockum?
Stockum lies north of Unterrath and Golzheim and east of Kaiserswerth, with Lohausen and Düsseldorf Airport past its far side. Borough 5 frames it.
