During the time chief from 1350 to 1464 belonged to the East Frisian islands to rule the territory of the family tom Brok. Baltrum was first mentioned in 1398, when Widzel tom Brok Balteringe (like the other East Frisian Islands), the Duke Albrecht of Bavaria, and then transferred from this as a fief returned.
In the 17th Baltrum century had the typical elongated shape of a barrier island or Juist Norderney today. Over the following years it lost heavily at the western country, without in return comparable to land on the east was won. Between 1650 and 1960, the island at the west around 5 kilometers eastward migrating to Ostend was only around 1.5 kilometers east relocated. From Travel by 1650, a commission reported that the 14 former residents of the island of dunes by the sea have been put at risk. 1737 there was an island village with island church, around 1800 because Übersandung by shifting sand dunes has been abandoned.

On Baltrum there are no official street names, just numbers. Currently (as of 2009) are slightly over 300 The number is in principle in accordance with the time of the housing allocated in ascending order.

Therefore, a new building in a very low point, if he as a replacement for an older, abandoned house was built.
