Oldenburg, University town in Lower Saxony, Germany.
Located between the Hunte and Haaren rivers, Oldenburg forms part of the Bremen Metropolitan Region with approximately 170,000 residents and numerous green spaces.
The settlement gained recognition in 1108 as Aldenburg under Count Elimar I, developing from a strategic river crossing into a regional administrative center.
The State Library of Oldenburg maintains extensive collections of regional literature while the Oldenburg State Theatre presents performances throughout the year.
The central train station connects to major German cities through intercity rail lines, while the A28, A29, and A293 autobahns provide road access nationwide.
The city experienced rapid population growth after World War II when British forces established their base, bringing 42,000 displaced persons to the region.
