Wonderful Rysum! Quiet and round!
A jewel among the beautiful terp villages, Rysum is the southernmost village in the Krummhörn municipality.
Rysum is worth seeing because of its design as a terp village, which means it is located on a centuries-old artificial hill. The village terp is six meters above sea level and has a diameter of almost 400 meters. This "hill" served as the only effective flood protection long before the dike was built.
The Rysum church, which was built as the center of the town at the highest point of the mound, is home to the oldest organ in Northern Europe that is still playable and has been preserved in its original state, dating from around 1440.

The Rysum mill from 1895, which is located in the immediate vicinity of the church, is worth mentioning.

In the center of the town there are also a large number of older farmsteads and farm workers' houses, the oldest of which dates from 1766 and is the oldest residential building in the town (and the second oldest building after the church).

History

Rysum was one of the ten old so-called lordships of East Frisia; its owners were directly subordinate to the prince and had lower jurisdiction. The place was first mentioned in the Werden Urbaren in the 10th century as Hrisinghem. The name is probably made up of the first name Hriso, the collective suffix -ing and the ending -hem for home. As with many other places in East Frisia, the ending later became -um, while the unstressed middle syllable disappeared. The village was first referred to as Risum in 1355, and in its current spelling in 1438.
