History

The first time the town was named was as Uluringhem in the 11th century.

Ulrum is sited on two mounds. On the eastern one stands the Romano-Gothic church of Ulrum (built at the end of the 12th century), on the western mound stood the Asingaborg. Ulrum was once a thriving village with many tradesmen and small businesses. Now only agricultural activity remains.

Ulrum was a separate municipality until 1990, when it merged with Eenrum, Kloosterburen, and Leens. The new municipality was called Ulrum at first, but was renamed to De Marne in 1992.[1]
