Stockum-Püschen is an Ortsgemeinde – a community belonging to a Verbandsgemeinde – in the Westerwaldkreis in Rhineland-Palatinate, Germany.

Geography

[edit]

Stockum-Püschen lies on the southern slope of the natural monument, the Götzenberg, 9 km from Westerburg and is an important basalt-mining centre. Since 1972 it has belonged to what was then the newly founded Verbandsgemeinde of Westerburg, a kind of collective municipality. Its seat is in the like-named town.

History

[edit]

In 1235, Stockum-Püschen had its first documentary mention.

The Ortsgemeinde came into being on 1 January 1969 with the union of the two former municipalities of Stockum and Püschen.

Politics

[edit]

The municipal council is made up of 13 council members, including the extraofficial mayor (Bürgermeister), who were elected in a majority vote in a municipal election on 13 June 2004.
