HAMSWEHRUM

State : Niedersachsen
District (Kreis) : Aurich (until 1976 Norden)
Incorporated into : 1972 Krummhörn

The arms show the local castle of the lords of Hamswehrum, which is locally called the yellow castle. The trefoil symbolises the agriculture, whereas the spur is taken from the arms of Norden, to symbolise the ties to this city.
