Ørmen is a village in the municipality of Fredrikstad, Norway. In the past, the village was also a train station on the Østfold Line. The station was opened on 1 October 1914 although passenger service ended 1 April 1957. The station then functioned as a stop until it closed on 29 May 1983.[2]
Ørmen formerly belonged to the municipality of Onsøy.[3] This changed when the municipalities of Frederikstad, Kråkerøy, Onsøy, Rolvsøy og Borge, in Østfold merged on 1 January 1994. The new merged municipality was named Frederikstad.[4]
The village is mentioned in David Bowie's song "Blackstar."[5]
