    The mill in Berumerfehn is a two-story gallery hollander with a ridge height of 20.50 meters. It was rebuilt in 1937 with parts of a mill from Carolinensiel. In the period from 1985 to 1990, it was restored from scratch and is still used today for grinding grain for animal feed. But events also take place in the mill, such as Himmelfahrt, the mill festival or the end of June the music event "Rock an der Mühle".

      The place was founded in 1794 by the Norder Fehn company. This society included citizens from the north and from Hage, who wanted to ensure the supply of fuel by throwing away the bog. At that time, peat was the preferred (because often the only) fuel in large parts of East Frisia. The mining right was secured by a leasehold agreement. Hunting and fishing were also allowed. The colonists set up the cradles themselves and later reforested the forest.



      The place was initially called Norderfehn because it was the first (and also the only) Fehn colony that was founded by Norder citizens. The name Berumerfehn later prevailed when the place was named after the closer Berum, seat of the office of Berum.



      The Berumerfehn church was built for the Fehn colonists in 1895, and in 1997 a large community center was added.



      While Berumerfehn still had 256 inhabitants in 1821, the number rose to 1,278 by 1939. Shortly before the municipal reform, namely in 1970, the municipality of Berumerfehn had 1,810 inhabitants. With an area of almost 22 square kilometers, it was - after Norderney - in terms of area the second largest municipality in the former district of the north.



      Tourist Attractions:

      The company house of the former Fehn company is now an excursion restaurant. There is also a gallery dutch and the forest and moor museum in Berumerfehn. The forest is used for recreation. To a certain extent, excursions into the moor can also be undertaken on established trails. Even if the bog looks different today than it did more than 200 years ago, there are still some precautions to take
