History of Oldenburg

The town was first mentioned in 1108, at that time known under the name of Aldenburg. It became important due to its location at a ford of the navigable Hunte river. Oldenburg became a small county in the shadow of the much more powerful Hanseatic city of Bremen.

The earliest recorded inhabitants of the region now called Oldenburg were a Teutonic people, the Chauci, who were afterwards merged in the Frisians. The genealogy of the counts of Oldenburg can be traced to the Saxon hero, Widukind, the opponent of Charlemagne, but their first historical representative is Elimar of Oldenburg (d. 1108). Elimars descendants appear as vassals, although sometimes rebellious ones, of the dukes of Saxony; but they attained the dignity of princes of the empire when the emperor Frederick I dismembered the Saxon duchy in 1189. At this time the county of Delmenhorst formed part of the dominions of the counts of Oldenburg, but afterwards it was on several occasions separated from them to form an apanage for younger branches of the family.
