Oldenburg in Holstein, Urban municipality in Ostholstein, Germany

Located at the southwestern shore of the Baltic Sea, Oldenburg in Holstein extends across 39.67 square kilometers with an elevation of 12 meters.

The settlement emerged as the principal center of the Wagrians, a Slavic group that established themselves in the region around 700 AD.

The town maintains strong international connections through partnerships with Bergen auf Rügen in Germany, Palanga in Lithuania, and Blain in France.

The Freiherr-vom-Stein-Gymnasium serves as a central venue for city council meetings and community gatherings throughout the calendar year.

The Norse reference Brandehuse, meaning burned houses, reflects the territorial conflicts that shaped this Baltic trading settlement during medieval times.
