County of Oldenburg The County of Oldenburg lies between
the towns of Oldenburg and Delmenhorst/ Bremen and the Oldenburger
Münsterland in the Weser-Ems provincial administrative district.
In the course of the Oldenburg administrative reform, it was created
in 1933 from the former district of Wildeshausen and parts of the
former districts of Oldenburg and Delmenhorst. It was given its
present almost circular shape during the local boundary reform in
1977.
The County of Oldenburg has 7 local government districts and one collective district encompassing 8 parishes. |
|
| The area is made particularly attractive by its sound infrastructure
and appealing housing development, its obvious residential and recreational
values, and its diverse and attractive countryside with many footpaths
and cycling routes. Land near the numerous motorway exits in the
County of Oldenburg is used for commercial locations that are readily
accessible. | ||
| Lower Saxony | ||
 |
A population of 7.8 million lives here in an area covering 47,000
square kilometres. Thus Lower Saxony is the second largest state
with the fourth biggest population in the Federal Republic. Lower
Saxony was established in 1946 from the districts of Hanover, Oldenburg,
Braunschweig and Schaumburg-Lippe.
62% of the state is put to agricultural
use, and 21% are forested. All the same, Lower Saxony is not an
agricultural state any more: only 4% of the 3.3 million bread-winners
work in farming.
Of international importance are
above all the Volkswagen factory in Wolfsburg, the Oldenburger Münsterland
as an intensive farming region, and the city of Hanover with its
trade fair and CeBIT exhibition.
In cooperation with the federal state of Bremen
we will built in this time the Metropolitan Area "Bremen - Oldenburg".
