==Economy and infrastructure== ===Transport=== [[File:Bahnsteig(halle) des Oldenburger Hauptbahnhofs.jpg|thumb|250px|Oldenburg Railway Station]] [[File:Hafen Oldenburg mit Silos.jpg|thumb|250px|Oldenburg Harbour]] The city centre of Oldenburg is surrounded by a ring of freeways ([[German autobahns|autobahns]]) consisting of [[Bundesautobahn 28|A 28]], [[Bundesautobahn 29|A 29]] and [[Bundesautobahn 293|A 293]]. Because of this, Oldenburg is connected to the nationwide network of federal autobahns, as well as to the [[international E-road network]] (German: ''Europastraßen''). [[Oldenburg Central Station]], ''Oldenburg (Oldb) Hauptbahnhof'', is at the intersection of the railway lines [[Norddeich Mole station|Norddeich Mole]]—[[Leer, Lower Saxony|Leer]]—Oldenburg—Bremen and [[Wilhelmshaven]]—Oldenburg—Osnabrück, with [[Intercity (Deutsche Bahn)|Intercity]] services to [[Berlin]], [[Leipzig]] and [[Dresden]] and [[InterCityExpress]] services to [[Frankfurt]] and [[Munich]]. Oldenburg is only about half an hour drive from [[Bremen Airport]] (about 50 km | 31 miles). Other international airports nearby are [[Hamburg Airport]] (160 km | 100 miles) and [[Hannover-Langenhagen Airport]] (170 km | 106 miles). The small [[Hatten]] Airfield, (Flugplatz Oldenburg-Hatten [[ICAO airport code]]: EDWH), is located about 17 km south-west of Oldenburg. It serves to small aircraft (private planes, gliders, balloons, and helicopters). A flight training school is also located there, and small planes can be chartered. Scenic flights can be booked as well. Oldenburg is connected to shipping through the [[Küstenkanal]], a [[ship canal]] connecting the rivers [[Ems (river)|Ems]] and [[Weser River|Weser]]. With 1.6 million tons of goods annually, it is the most important non-coastal harbour in Lower Saxony. [[Bicycle]]s play a very important part in personal transport. ===Agriculture=== The city is surrounded by large agricultural areas, about 80% of which is grassland. There are farms near and even a few within city limits. Predominant agricultural activities of the region are the cultivation of livestock, especially dairy cows and other grazing animals, crops such as grains for food and animal feed, as well as asparagus, corn, and kale. ===Industry=== Sea salt production in the Oldenburg region has been used since the 15th century to supply the huge salt demand in the Baltic region. Peat extraction in the area continued for many centuries until it was replaced by coal mines.
