Talk:Duchy of Oldenburg

[Untitled]

Is there any way of producing a list of rulers of Oldenburg as duke or grand duke?

• What's "a county resp."--Wetman 07:26, 16 Mar 2005 (UTC)
  • Maybe a translation of German "bzw." (beziehungsweise), meaning "respectively". Anyway, I'm about to change it... --LuiKhuntek 21:29, 13 November 2005 (UTC)

I don't really understand why there is a different article in wikipedia about the Free State of Oldenburg. The article is not called "Grand-Duchy of Oldenburg", just "state of Oldenburg". The state of Oldenburg continued to exist even after the abdication of the last grand-duke, it just became a republic. The state of Oldenburg ceased to exist legally in 1946 with the foundation of the new state of Lower Saxony. Mk4711 (talk) 13:05, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

I will remove the remark that the Frisian chiefs whom the Counts of Oldenburg were in conflict with in the thirteenth century were heathens. They weren't. Gerard von Hebel (talk) 17:13, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

Chronology

This section needs looking into: "When the main lineage of the House of Oldenburg died out in 1667 with Anthony Günther, Count of Oldenburg, it fell to the Frederick III of Denmark of the line of the Dukes of Holstein-Gottorp, who married Grand Duchess Anna Petrovna of Russia, daughter of Peter the Great. Another, his first cousin, Frederick August I, became Duke of Oldenburg in 1774." Friedrich August I of Holstein-Oldenburg was born in 1711, yet he is described as the first cousin of Frederick III of Denmark, who died in 1670. While not absolutely impossible, I suppose this might warrant verification. 45.92.226.223 (talk) 21:58, 9 October 2023 (UTC)
