Oldenburg is a historical state in today's Germany named for its capital, Oldenburg.
Oldenburg was a county resp. (after 1773) a duchy of the Holy Roman Empire. After the dissolution of the empire (1806) and the episode of Napoleonic occupation Oldenburg was made an independent country by the Congress of Vienna in 1815. In 1829 it was raised to the status of a grand duchy. In 1871, it joined the German Empire, and in 1918, it became a republican state within the Weimar Republic. 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 mere formalism, as the Nazis had de facto abolished the federal states in 1934. After World War II, Oldenburg was merged into the newly founded state of Lower Saxony.
Oldenburg had an area of 5,375 km², and 580,000 inhabitants (1939).

Romanov's sire Rohdiamant won his approval in Oldenburg in 1992, was state riding horse champion in Rastede an.: federal champion in Mannheim in 1993, thereafter he won the I-a main premium in 1994, became state and federal champion in 1995, as well as sixth in the Federal Championship of 1996.
The Oldenburg is bred in a small area near the modern region of Lower Saxony surrounding the city of Oldenburg, a breeding area historically confined to approximatively 5,400 square kilometers, in the center of the Hannoverian region.
The other two events of major import were the foundation of the Oldenburg studbook; the enactment of hip and neck branding for the identification of approved, registered horses (1861); and the founding of two breeding societies, under the breeding law of April 9, 1897.
Despite its size, the well-bred, modern Oldenburg is a compact horse with relatively short legs; short cannons; powerful hindquarters; a long, strong neck inherited from its days as a carriage horse; a deep chest; and large hooves able to bear the weight of such a large animal.
