Sizzling Europe

Welcome to Oldenburg, an independent city in lower Saxony, Germany. It is located in the western part of the state between the cities of Bremen and Groningen, Netherlands at the Hunte River.

Oldenburg was first mentioned in the year 1108 and it was still known as Aldenburg. The city then became a significant city because of its location at a ford of the navigable Hunt River. Oldenburg became a wealthy time in a time of war and turmoil and its population and power had a remarkable rise during the 17^th century. It was in the year 1893 when a canal connecting the Hunte and the Ems rivers was done connecting the part of the city with the North Sea that had incredibly increased Oldenburg’s economic importance.

It was after the World War II particularly in the year 1945 when the city grew to more than 100,000 inhabitants just when the refugees migrated into Oldenburg. The city currently is in a largely agricultural area and there are also farms near the city.
