The history of Borssum dates back to the seventh century. It originated from two centres, Groß-Borssum and Klein-Borssum, both of which had a borg. Today, the Westerburg School and the Osterburg School are located on the location of both buildings.[1]

The historic village with a church from the thirteenth century, has grown into one of the larger districts of Emden, especially after the Second World War.
