Blumen Arntzen

Have you heard of a church reborn as a flower shop? Right here in Witten-Stockum, where Pferdebachstraße meets Stockumer Straße, stands Blumen Arntzen. Blumen Arntzen isn’t just any flower shop. It occupies a repurposed New Apostolic church. The Arntzen family, known for their florist business in the Stockumer Bruch area, dreamed of this location for nearly five years before realizing their vision in September 2014. Dirk and Kathrin Arntzen, the owners of Blumen Arntzen, saw the potential of the disused church. They envisioned a vibrant space filled with floral beauty and stylish décor. Their dream took root, and the transformation began. New windows were installed, letting light flood the space where hymns once echoed. The old, small fence was replaced with a higher one, complementing the church’s architectural style. Inside Blumen Arntzen, the floors were tiled, and modern heating and cooling systems were installed. Walls were removed and spaces reconfigured to create an airy, inviting atmosphere. The former church now houses an array of vibrant blooms, along with stylish gifts and seasonal decorations. While the square footage is smaller than their previous location, the high ceilings and abundant light create an illusion of spaciousness. Blumen Arntzen’s prominent location in the heart of Stockum offers better visibility than the old shop on a busy, Anliegerstraße in Stockumer Bruch. The move also allows them to connect with the local community. They offer more than just flowers; they offer a touch of artistry and a curated lifestyle experience. You’ll find trendy Easter decorations and seasonal items alongside the bouquets. Blumen Arntzen is more than a shop; it’s the realization of a dream, a unique blend of the past and present, and a testament to the vision of the Arntzen family.
