Canum is a terp town in western East Frisia . The village belongs to the municipality of Krummhörn in the Aurich district ( Lower Saxony ).
geography
Canum is located about one and a half kilometers southeast of Pewsum, the main town in the municipality. The place was created in a bend-marshland at a height of about 5.3 m above sea level. NHN . In total, the district covers an area of 3.68 square kilometers.
history
Canum was first mentioned in 950 AD under the name Caninghem . The name Canigum hodie Canum has been handed down from 1475 . The name is a combination of the nickname Kane with the collective suffix -ing . Canum therefore means home of the Kane clan .
Ceramic finds indicate that the area was settled in the period from the first century BC to the third century AD. At the highest point of the mound residents built in the 13th century Canumer church and built the bell tower later. In addition, the Canum School was mentioned as early as 1581 and is now used as a mortuary.
During the Hanoverian period in East Friesia, Canum was part of the Emden district (1824), part of the Larrelt bailiwick and then part of the Loquard subordinate bailiwick, which in addition to Loquard and Canum also included Woltzeten, Rysum, Campen and Heiselhusen. During the Hanoverian office reform in 1852, Canum was removed from the office of Emden and added to the office of Greetsiel (based in Pewsum). In the course of the Hanoverian office reform in 1859, the Greetsiel office was dissolved and added to the Emden office; Canum has since belonged to the latter. During the Prussian district reform in 1885 , the Emden district was formed from the Emden district , to which Canum then belonged.
For centuries, the natural depths and drainage channels that crisscross the Krummhörn in a dense network were the most important modes of transport. Not only the villages but also many farms were connected to the city of Emden and the port of Greetsiel via ditches and canals. The boat traffic with Emden was particularly important. Village boatmen took over the supply of goods from the city and delivered agricultural products in the opposite direction: “From the Sielhafenort, smaller ships, so-called Loogschiffe, transported the cargo to the inland and supplied the marsh villages (loog = village). The Loogschiffe from the Krummhörn enlivened the canals of the city of Emden into the 20th century. ”As early as 1824, the cultural historian Fridrich Arends wrote in his description of the land of the Principality of East Friesland and the Harlingerland :“ There is no office more abundant than this with water. (…) In winter and spring, the grain and other goods are always transported by water both in this and in the Greetmer office, which is extremely useful in the case of the poor dirt roads in the season. "
Peat, which was mostly extracted in the East Frisian Fehnen , played an important role as heating material for the inhabitants of the Krummhörn for centuries . The peat ships brought the material on the East Frisian canal network to the Krummhörn villages, including to Canum. On their way back into the Fehnsiedlungen the Torfschiffer often took clay soil from the march and the manure of cattle with which they their home were dug fertilized land.
Like almost all localities in the municipality of Krummhörn, Canum also lost part of its population in the 19th century. After the end of the Second World War, Canum took in a large number of expellees from the eastern regions of the German Empire . In 1946 they made up 21.9 percent of the village population, a quota that rose to 30.4 percent by 1950.
In the years from 1967 to 1969 the fire station for the volunteer fire brigade and a village community center followed.
On July 1, 1972 Canum was incorporated into the new municipality of Krummhörn.
politics
Mayor was Wilhelm van Ellen.
Culture and sights
The Canum Church was built in the late Romanesque style in the second half of the 13th century. The church is a one-room church that stands on the highest point of the terp. Inside the church there are three rib vaults that rest on articulated walls and corner pillars. The church is also noticeable because the entrance has been relocated again and again over the years. In 2010 the congregation received a new organ from Bartelt Immer , which is based on the works of Gerhard von Holy .
