Ulrum ( Gronings Ollerom ) is a village in the municipality of Het Hogeland in the north of the Dutch province of Groningen . It is located on the road from Winsum to Lauwersoog . The village had 1,490 inhabitants in 2017.
history
The place was first mentioned as Uluringhem in the 11th century. As the place of residence of the people Ulurin or Ulrin .
Ulrum lies on two terps . On one of the elevations stands the Ulrums Church (own name: Kerk van Ulrum), built in the Romano-Gothic style and enlarged at the end of the 12th century. The Asingaborg was on the other terp. A castle built in the 15th century and inhabited successively by the families Asinga , Hillebrandes , Lewens , Lewe and those of Innhausen and Knyphausen . In 1809 it was razed and the Asingapark was created there between 1985 and 1987.
Ulrum used to be a thriving village with many small businesses and businesses. Today only agriculture with its arable farms is an economic factor. But there is also an agricultural machinery shop and a go- kart track .
The split in the church in 1834
In Ulrum in 1834 what is known in the Netherlands as the "Afscheiding van 1834" (separation of 1834) began. The pastor Hendrik de Cock managed the creation of the Christelijke Gereformeerde Kerk as a spin-off from the Nederlandse Hervormde Kerk . “Gereformeerd” in the Netherlands corresponds to the German “old reformed”, “hohormd” to the German “reformed”.
Population development
Ulrum is struggling with a sharp decline in population. This development was stopped again at the beginning of the millennium with the construction of an asylum seekers' home with its 450 residents (2002–2005), but continued afterwards. After the Asingahof care home was closed (and moved to Leens ), the number of residents continued to decline in 2013.

Former association community
The municipality (. NDL Gemeente ) Ulrum was in 1990 from the villages, hamlets and neighborhoods: Elens, De Houw, Houwerzijl, De Hucht, Klei, Lauwersoog, Menne Weer, Midhalm, Midhuizen, Niekerk, Panser, Robbenoort, Vierhuizen, Vliedorp, Westpolder and Zoutkamp . In that year Ulrum, Eenrum , Leens and Kloosterburen were merged into a new municipality, which initially kept the name Ulrum, but had the administrative seat in Leens. Two years later the greater community in was De Marne renamed and so revived the name of a former, the same administrative unit of the old Frisian Gaus Hunsingo . Since 2019 that - and thus also Ulrum - has been part of the new large municipality Het Hogeland.
