    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.
