The old state parliament is on Theodor-Tantzen-Platz. That fits, because Tantzen was the first Prime Minister of the Free State of Oldenburg, which was founded on the territory of the former Grand Duchy after the end of the First World War. However, the old state parliament was inaugurated together with the neighboring state ministry as early as 1916. That was high time, because the Grand Duchy of Oldenburg had had a parliament since the middle of the 19th century, which, since 1848, had met temporarily in military buildings on the Pferdemarkt.

In 1916, the State Parliament of the Grand Duchy of Oldenburg was inaugurated after a construction period of almost four years. The building, which is more than 100 years old, looks back on an eventful past and is today managed by the Oldenburg Police Department, just like the former ministerial building next door.

History

The construction of the state parliament building was preceded by an ideas competition in which the architect Karl Wiener, among others, received first prize. The initial plans were not implemented. Instead, the design by the Stuttgart architect Paul Bonatz was implemented five years later.

The state parliament building was the seat of the Oldenburg state parliament. Before that, the military academy on the Pferdemarkt, built between 1837 and 1838, had been used as the state parliament building since 1848.
