History

the text in this section is copied from an article in Wikipedia

The district was established in 1970 by merging the former districts of Eutin and Oldenburg. These former districts have different histories.

Eutin was ruled by Lübeck. In 1803 it became an exclave of the Duchy of Oldenburg (which confusingly has nothing to do with the Holsteinian city of Oldenburg). In 1937 it was moved to Prussia as the district of Eutin within the Prussian province of Schleswig-Holstein.

The region of Oldenburg was a part of the duchy of Holstein. In 1864 Holstein became subordinate to Prussia, which soon afterwards established the district of Oldenburg.
