Hellum (Gronings: Helm) is a village in the municipality of Midden-Groningen, the Netherlands.
History
[edit | edit source]The village was first mentioned in 1282 as de Hellum. The etymology is unclear.[3] Hellum is a road village which developed in the 12th century on a sandy ridge.[4]
The church was built in the 13th century as a reconstruction of a church from around 1100. The tower dates from the Middle Ages, however the top has been rebuilt in 1648.[4]
Hellum was home to 693 people in 1840.[5] It used to be part of the municipality of Slochteren. In 2018, it became part of the municipality of Midden-Groningen.[5]
