The Free State of Oldenburg was a state of the Weimar Republic. It was established in 1918 following the abdication of the Grand Duke Frederick Augustus II following the German Revolution. In 1937, it lost the exclave districts of Eutin near the Baltic coast and Birkenfeld in southwestern Germany to Prussia and gained the City of Wilhelmshaven; however, this was a formality, as the Hitler regime had de facto abolished the federal states in 1934.

  • The Free State of Oldenburg was a state of the Weimar Republic. It was established in 1918 following the abdication of the Grand Duke Frederick Augustus II following the German Revolution. In 1937, it lost the exclave districts of Eutin near the Baltic coast and Birkenfeld in southwestern Germany to Prussia and gained the City of Wilhelmshaven; however, this was a formality, as the Hitler regime had de facto abolished the federal states in 1934. By the beginning of World War II in 1939, as a result of these territorial changes, Oldenburg had an area of 5,375 km (2,075.3 sq mi) and 580,000 inhabitants. After World War II, Oldenburg was merged into the newly founded state of Lower Saxony as the administrative region (Verwaltungsbezirk) of Oldenburg, both of which became a part of Federal Republic of Germany in 1949.
  • Fristaten Oldenburg var en stat i Weimarrepubliken. Den upprättades 1918 efter att storhertigen av Oldenburg, Fredrik August II, hade abdikerat till följd av den tyska revolutionen. 1937 förlorade fristaten sina exklaver Eutin, nära Östersjökusten i nuvarande Schleswig-Holstein, och Birkenfeld i nuvarande Rheinland-Pfalz till Fristaten Preussen och erhöll istället staden Wilhelmshaven. Detta var dock bara en formalitet då nazistregimen de facto hade avskaffat de federala staterna 1934. Tack vare dessa territoriella förändringar hade Oldenburg en yta av 5 375 km² och 580 000 invånare vid andra världskrigets utbrott 1939. 1946, efter kriget, blev Fristaten Oldenburg ombildad till den administrativa regionen (Verwaltungsbezirk) Oldenburg, en del av den nya staten Niedersachsen, som sedan, 1949, blev en del av Västtyskland.
