The Grand Duchy of Oldenburg (German: Großherzogtum Oldenburg, also known as Holstein-Oldenburg) was a grand duchy within the German Confederation, North German Confederation and German Empire that consisted of three widely separated territories: Oldenburg, Eutin and Birkenfeld. It ranked tenth among the German states and had one vote in the Bundesrat and three members in the Reichstag.
The national anthem of Oldenburg was "Heil dir, o Oldenburg",
"Hail to thee, O Oldenburg" in English. Performed by the "Marinemusikkorps Wilhelmshaven".
Oldenburg remained a monarchy until the German Revolution of 1918-1919, when the last Grand Duke, Frederick Augustus II, abdicated and Oldenburg became a constituent state of the Weimar Republic as the Free State of Oldenburg.
