The stamp was issued for the 600th anniversary of Municipal Rights to the City of Oldenburg. Anton Günther, Graf von Oldenburg: Born at Oldenburg, 31st October 1583. Son of Johann XVI, Graf von Oldenburg. He was studying in Mauritianum College in Cassel when he was recalled on the death of his father, 12th November 1603, to assume the title. Due to his personal influence he kept Oldenburg neutral during the Thirty Years War (1618-1648), thus his country prospered whilst the rest of the Empire was devastated. He received the Lordship of Kniphausen in return for a loan to Ferdinand II, and also inherited the County of Delmenhorst. A wise ruler throughout his lifetime, he died 19th June 1667 at Rastede in Oldenburg.
