Places to see in ( Oldenburg - Germany )
Oldenburg is a city in northwest Germany. The central Horst-Janssen-Museum displays works by the 20th-century artist, including lithographs and drawings. The State Museum for Nature and Man has exhibits exploring the region's natural history, plus an aquarium. Oldenburg Castle houses part of the State Museum for Art and Cultural History, which showcases regional artifacts and European paintings.
An former royal seat in Lower Saxony, Oldenburg has a legacy left by generations of counts, dukes and grand dukes. Studying Oldenburg’s aristocratic history can be tricky as the House of Oldenburg had German, Danish and Russian branches.
Just to illustrate, the future Russian Tsar Alexander II lived at Oldenburg’s Prinzepalais for a time in the 19th century. The tremendous art collections of the Grand Dukes of Oldenburg awaits you across three resplendent properties. Keep the palace garden and stunning opera house in mind, and catch up with Oldenburg’s past at engrossing museums and old landmarks like the “Lappan” belfry.
The tallest building in the city, the Lutheran St Lambert’s Church has five towers, the highest of which measures 86 metres above the western facade. The multitalented 20th-century artist Horst Janssen grew up in Oldenburg and lived here most of his life, becoming an honorary citizen in 1992. The dedicated museum opened in a purpose-built edifice in 2000 and gives you a timeline of his career and shows the many different mediums he used for his art: There are watercolours, posters, etchings, drawings and lithographies.
When the land Grand Duke of Oldenburg abdicated in 1919, the Duchy’s art collections and valuable ensembles of decorative arts were made available to the public. Oldenburg’s first art museum goes back 1867, making it one of the oldest purpose-built museum buildings in North Germany.
Dating to 1826, the Prinzepalais was the residence for the Russian princes Peter and Alexander. In 16 hectares, the grounds of Oldenburg Palace push out to the south of the city’s historical centre. The garden is in the English landscape style and in 2014 celebrated its 200th anniversary. With a deceptive, modern lobby next to the Horst-Janssen-Museum, Oldenburg’s municipal museum is actually an ensemble of three interconnected historic villas.
The tower is from the 1460s and was actually the bell-tower of a church and hospital that became defunct during the Reformation and were lost in the city fire in 1676. The Lappan meanwhile was secularised and became a habitable watchtower, while its current Baroque dome was added in 1709. All bus lines running through the centre of Oldenburg stop in front of this popular landmark, which now contains a travel agency.
The last Burgher house to be found in Oldenburg also came through the fire of 1676 undamaged. The Degodehaus is at Markt 24 a little way from the town hall, and is an early-16th-century residential house. In 3.7 hectares on Philosophenweg to the northwest of the city lies the botanical garden, maintained by the University of Oldenburg.
Landesmuseum für Natur und Mensch was born back in 1835 when Augustus, Grand Duke of Oldenburg purchased a compendium of insect and bird specimens. On the southern side of the Lambertikirche is the last remaining vestige of Oldenburg’s city defences. This powder magazine dates from the final expansion of the fortifications in the 1500s, and at first would have been used as a watchtower when it had a conical roof. This splendid Historicist theatre is a big institution in Oldenburg, employing 450 people and attracting 200,000 spectators each year.
On Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays there’s a fresh produce market at Markt between the town hall and the Lamberikirche. Minutes west of Oldenburg is a sophisticated resort on the south shore of the Zwischenahner Meer. This 550-hectare lake has been drawing holidaymakers for its water sports and healthy air since the mid-19th century.

Germany: Soms impressions of the City of Oldenburg
This summer we spent a day in the city of Oldenburg. This video shows the Oldenburg Castle, a small part of the city centre, the Central Station and its interior and the Marina.
Germany: The Oldenburg Castle Garden (Schlossgarten)
The Oldenburg Castle Garden is a historic park in the style of an English landscape garden. It was built in the period 1804 to 1819 on behalf of Duke Peter Friedrich Ludwig of Oldenburg.
Characteristic of the palace gardens are a natural similarly arranged planting with water features, a curved routing and the smooth transition into the surrounding landscape. The Duke In 1828 the Duke planted the now typical for the region rhododendrons. The rhododendrons in the castle garden Oldenburg are among the oldest in the country. Many large trees from around 1800 have been preserved until today.
Philosophers Walk (Philosophenweg) in Heidelberg, Germany
So many things to do in beautiful Heidelberg, Germany and one of them was doing the famous Philosphers Walk (or Way as some call it) - Philosophenweg, in German. It is a bit strenous at first, since you start at the foot of the old bridge (Altebrucke) by the Neckar River and take some winding steps quite a ways up. But, it is all worth it, for lovely views along the way and especially those from the top. Many famous poets, philosphers and writers have walked this path for hundreds of years (including Mark Twain who wrote about it in A Tramp Abroad), along with everyday students from the University of Heidelberg.
One of the interesting sights we saw near the top was a Bismark Monument - apparently these are all over Europe, not just Germany, and were a tribute to Otto von Bismark, first chancellor of the old Third Reich.
