It houses the public Rhine baths with indoor and outdoor pools as well as large parking spaces. On Danziger Strasse, the Dusseldorf Fashion House was a fashion center that had over 200 suppliers and 48,000 m2. Since then, the Fashion House has been demolished. Here is where the “Deiker Hofe”, a new district that will include around 400 apartments, offices and retail, as well as restaurants, cafes, and hotels, will be constructed.Five free farms could be verified in the Honschaft Stockum for 1634. The Holthausen farm, which belonged to Kreutz lords and was a benefice, was called “Schnellenbergh”. Stockum was composed of individual farms up to modern times. Stockumer probably belonged to the Holthausen Church.
