Grimersum is a village in the region of East Frisia, in Lower Saxony, Germany. It is part of the municipality of Krummhörn. The village is located in between Eilsum and Wirdum, about 12.5 kilometers north of Emden.
The village, like nearby Groothusen, is one of the elongated warft villages that were built in the early 8th century on estuaries and bends as trading places for the expanding overseas trade of the Frisian peasant merchants.[1] The village is dominated by an old church, which was built in the 13th century.[2]
