The arms are a combination of the arms of Ostfriesland (harpy) and the local castle. The harpy is originally the arms of the Cirksena family, counts of Ostfriesland. In the early 15<sup>th</sup> century the Cirksena family inherited the castle in Berum. In 1443 the castle was rebuilt. The family owned the castle until the late 17<sup>th</sup> century. In the 18<sup>th</sup> century it was used as the local courthouse. | The arms are a combination of the arms of Ostfriesland (harpy) and the local castle.
