History
[edit | edit source]Early years
[edit | edit source]Berumerfehn was founded in 1794 by the Fehnkompanie of Norden. The Fehnkompanie was a peat digging company of people from Norden and Hage.
By this time the village was named Norderfehn, because it was the only settlement founded inside the peat (Lower German: fehn) by of people from Norden.
Later the name of the village changed to Berumerfehn because of the close distance to Berum
