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.
