Location and area

All around

Jarßum is a terp village about 6.5 kilometers from the city center of Emden. The place borders in the south on the Ems and in the east on Widdelswehr. In total, the area is 196.7 hectares.

Development of the place name

The place was first mentioned in the 10th century in the land register of the Werden Gerzhem monastery . Later names were Jarsum or Jarrsum and today the spellings Jarßum and Jarssum are common. The name probably goes back to the nickname Gerad or Gardi in combination with -um (= home).

history

The earliest evidence of the presence of people are weaving weights, spindle whorls and crockery from the Roman Empire and the Middle Ages. At the time of the East Frisian chiefs , the sex of ??? over a large part of the place and also exercised jurisdiction there. It was also she who had a castle built on the terp. In 1455, Chief Wiard von Uphusen expelled Aylt Sinets, the last ruler of the House of Synadisna. Thereafter the rule changed several times. After Wiard Jarßum gave Occa von Oldersum to his daughter Occa von Oldersum for her wedding to Snegler Howerda, the chief of Dam and Termünte, in 1472, the property passed into the possession of the Beninga family in the same year after his death . From 1562 the Frese family ruled over the place. Claas (Nicolaus) Freese, chief von Hinte, finally sold Jarßum in 1631 for 8,316 guilders to the city of Emden.

In the years 1629 to 1631, the city acquired the surrounding splendor on the right bank of the Lower Ems. From the property of the Frese family in Uttum and Hinte came the greats Groß- and Klein- Borssum , later also Jarßum and Widdelswehr , for which Emden together paid a little more than 21,000 East Frisian guilders. In 1631, Emden finally acquired the largest area of ​​its glories, Oldersum , including the surrounding villages of Gandersum , Rorichum , Tergast and Simonswolde . The city paid around 60,000 Reichstaler for this. With the exception of the glory of Petkum , Emden ruled the entire lower right bank of the Ems.

The acquisitions, made for geographical and strategic considerations, were to serve a further purpose in the future, according to the will of the Emden city tour: With the splendor, Emden hoped to gain a seat and vote in the knighthood curia of the East Frisian landscape from around 1636.

“Only afterwards did Althusius and other shrewd lawyers derive this possibility of increasing the weight of the city from the title of mayor and council of the city of Emden, lords and chiefs of Oldersum, etc. , who were rightly allowed to lead the city rulers. Despite violent disputes, Emden was not allowed to be a member of the knightly curia of the country; the city was of course entitled to all other rulership rights arising from the ownership of the splendors, the claim of which did not depend on the personal nobility. In Up- and Wolthusen, in Borssum and Oldersum, there were administrative and accounting officers appointed by the council as well as judges who acted as local authorities on behalf of the city. All glories thus formed their own administrative districts and were not an integral part of the actual city area. "
