Oldenburg

Johann Bernard Petermann was born in Oldenburg circa 1846.

Oldenburg in Lower Saxony (Niedersachsen) is situated on the Hunte River, not far from the North Sea. It has a damp climate with a lot of rain. The summers are cool and the winters are cold with occasional snow.

Oldenburg (Aldenburg) became the residence of the counts of Oldenburg in 1108. There was a huge fire in 1676 that destroyed most of the medieval buildings. Oldenburg was under Danish rule for a century. It became a duchy in 1773.

According to the telephone book July/August 2005:
