• Carl von Ossietzky became the name sake of
  Oldenburg University in 1991.Carl von Ossietzky
  (1888 - 1938) was an outstanding journalists and
  pacifists in Germany at the time of the Weimarer
  Republic. In 1933, when the Nazis seized power in
  Germany, Ossietzky was arrested because of his
  courageous stand for peace and democracy. He was
  interned in various concentration camps, among
  them Esterwegen (near Oldenburg). After he was
  awarded the Nobel Peace Price in 1935,
  international pressure led to his release. Never
  fully recoverring from his internment at
  Esterwegen, he died two years later in Berlin. In
  1979, Carl von Ossietzky's daughter, Rosalinde
  von Ossietzky-Palm, donated his works to the
  University. An interdisciplinary research team
  edited a prize-winning complete edition of his
  works.
