50 years of the University of Oldenburg
Half a century ago, in December 1973, the state parliament of Lower Saxony decided to found the University of Oldenburg. Studies began in April 1974. Under the motto "50 years open for new paths", the university celebrated its anniversary with an extensive public programme. Numerous events took place on campus, in the city and in the region. We cordially invite you to take a look back at the anniversary year on these pages.
Programme
Exploration tours and exhibitions, knowledge and science formats, festivities and much more - the anniversary programme was as colourful as the university itself.
