St. Lamberti Church, Oldenburg

Highlight • Religious Site

Church of contrasts, at least in terms of construction: from the outside in the style of brick Gothic, from the inside it is reminiscent of the classicist style of Italian cathedrals when you enter the round interior and look into the dome-shaped vaulted roof

Oldenburg Castle

Highlight • Castle

History

The castle is based on a medieval lowland castle, which was built around 1100 by the Counts of Oldenburg to control a long-distance trade route from Westphalia to East Frisia. It was first explicitly mentioned in 1275, and a keep appears in a document in 1313. At that time, the individual buildings had to be founded on oak piles. Around 1400, the complex, which was laid out in a circle, was given a moat with an outer wall under Count Dietrich the Lucky, and thus became a moated castle. Numerous residential and commercial buildings were gathered in a small area, which housed a court of around 350 people around 1600.

In 1573, the castle was considered dilapidated and was therefore renovated piece by piece. The keep in the middle of the courtyard had already become slanted by 1599 due to the marshy ground and was therefore demolished in 1608.

Old Town Hall, Oldenburg

Highlight • Historical Site

The current town hall has stood in the city center on Rathausmarkt since 1888. It is still the seat of the mayor today. The special thing about the town hall, built in 1886, is its shape. Contrary to traditional construction methods, this building is triangular. There were two previous buildings before it. By 1635, the Gothic town hall, built in 1355, had become too dilapidated. Regent Count Anton Günther had a Renaissance town hall built in its place. In the 19th century, the town grew, and the town hall became too small for the municipal administration. In 1883, the city council finally voted almost unanimously to build a new town hall. The question of the location led to years of discussion, as after the demolition of the old town hall, the citizens were very enthusiastic about the new, spacious space. By a narrow majority, the council then decided to build a new building on the same site on the triangular lot on the market square. The Berlin architectural firm Holst and Zaar was awarded the contract for the construction, as their design best suited the triangular site. This resulted in the current building, featuring Neo-Gothic and Neo-Renaissance stylistic elements. The town hall is still the seat of the mayor today.

Glockenspiel
Oldenburg has had a carillon since its city charter anniversary in 1995. It is located on the pointed side of the town hall and plays the Oldenburg anthem and seasonal melodies several times a day. The carillon can be heard four times a day: at 11:00 a.m., 2:00 p.m., 5:00 p.m., and 7:00 p.m.

The Town Hall
The elaborate mural with coats of arms and floral motifs was created in 24 days in 1887 by the painter Friedrich Wilhelm Adels and his son Heinrich. This work of art was painted over at an unknown time. In 2005, a complete restoration of the hall and the reconstruction of the historic murals became possible. Since then, the Great Assembly Hall in the Old Town Hall has once again been presented in the former glory of its murals (Source: bremenkultur.de/kultur/oldenburg/sehenswuerdigkeiten/rathaus.html)

Morning walk through the old town and the castle gardens. Unfortunately, our tour for this year is already over. This will definitely not be the last time I am here...

Despite the rain, we were pleasantly surprised by the castle park and Oldenburg itself. It's a lovely place to spend the whole day.

We were allowed to leave the car at the youth hostel, which seemed like the better alternative given the parking situation in the city center. We started the loop together, and our paths diverged at the Schlossgarten: my wife went to her appointment, and I went into the Schlossgarten. A very beautiful park and probably recommendable at any time of …

Finally to Oldenburg.
We've been talking about the city for years but have never actually been there.
We liked it better than our hometown of Osnabrück.
