- This is an article about a demon. For the ancient, legendary king who ruled in Norway see Raum the Old.
In demonology Raum is a Great Earl of Hell, ruling thirty legions of demons. He steals treasures out of kings' houses, carrying them where he is commanded, and destroys cities and dignities of men (he is said to have great dispraise for dignities). Raum can also tell things past, present and future, and reconcile friends and foes.
He is depicted as a crow that changes shape into a man under request of the conjurer.
'Raum' in German means "space, room, chamber"; 'räumen' means to empty, evacuate. See lebensraum, literally "living room" (that is, room for living, not a living room).
Other spellings: Raim, Raym, Räum.
