The surname Stockhaus was first found in Hessen, Hanover, Westphalia, and Saxony, where the name Stockhausen was closely identified in early mediaeval times with the feudal society which would become prominent throughout European history. This widespread name has been traced to the castle of the same name on the Ruhr river, and it would later emerge as a noble family with great influence, having many distinguished branches, and become noted for its involvement in social, economic and political affairs.
