The film chronicle describes the history of this German state, which is typical of Germany's federal traditions, from the Congress of Vienna to the reorganization by the Allies. In film sequences, a journey through the changing landscapes of marsh, heath and geest is created. The historical transformation of towns and villages, their people and stories are brought to life, as are the changes in agriculture, the cultivation of moors, the emergence of modern transport routes by water and land, the growth of the ports on the Jade and Weser and increasing industrialization. From the beaches of the island of Wangerooge to the residential city of Oldenburg and Lake Dümmer, everyday life, pride in the achievements of the respective times and many a tranquility are described. Some images are wistful because they also document the consequences of two wars and the devastating effects of the Nazis' seizure of power. The interview questions are answered by the President of the Oldenburgische Landschaft, Horst-Günther Lucke, the former director of the Cloppenburg Museum Village, Dr. Helmut Ottenjann, and Eilert Tantzen, the chairman of the Hergen Tantzen eV family association.
