Oldenburg is a city with around 175,000 inhabitants I grew up there in the district, but all my friends live there and I have spent many days and nights there in recent years. I haven't heard of any attacks or rapes yet, but you have to be prepared to be approached by men from time to time. They shout at you or honk but it's like that in every city and it's sad but you can deal with it. I've never been touched and if someone gets too close there are always people nearby to help you :) I always felt very safe!

It's pretty safe. I don't feel unsafe since it's mostly a Student city and it's great. The crime rate is very low and going out late at night isn't an issue for the most part. It's pretty chill, safe and small town

Oldenburg is a very safe city. I even go out alone at night without worrying. The only moments when you sometimes feel unsafe are when there are drunk people around.
