The gun club St. Sebastianus from 1458 is one of the oldest gun clubs in that region. The Thirty Year War began 1644 in Hamm when troops of Brandenburg went into the settlement. So the oldest churches who are still existing are the Rochus Chapel from 1709 and the Cross Chapel from 1658, gifted by the Earl of Palatine Philipp Wilhelm, both Roman Catholic. The Rochus Chapel nowadays is in use by the Greek-Orthodox Church of Düsseldorf. In 1824 a catholic elementary school opened, in 1960 the catholic kindergarten. To visit schools for higher education the students have to go to neighboring boroughs.
