Stockumer Bruch is a district of Witten in the east of Stockum. The Stockumer Bruch, as it is called colloquially, has the district number 33.

The Stockumer Bruch extends between Stockum-Mitte and Salingen. It is accessed by a street of the same name, which leads through the middle of the area to Salingen (from 1901 to 1929 it was therefore called Salingerstraße) and on both sides of which there is residential development, otherwise the Stockumer Bruch is used exclusively for agriculture. With a corresponding extension to the Dortmund area, the southern part is designated as a fresh air corridor for the eastern Dortmund urban area.

In the early modern period, the area belonged to the Stockumer Allmende. The name "Bruch" is derived from the term "Bruchland". This used to describe wetlands in earlier times. On the Stockum side, however, these were completely drained over the centuries and made usable for agriculture.

The exploitation of possible seams under the surface of the Stockumer Bruch has not been clarified. Before the industrialization of the region, coal veins came to the surface in Eichlinghofen, Salingen and at the Stockumer Bruch, which were exploited "wildly" and finally filled in again. It is therefore possible that there are occasional cavities from this phase of the wild coal mining under the Stockumer Bruch. Isolated subsidence in Eichlinghofen indicate this.
