The last reigning
Grand Duke of Oldenburg, Friedrich August was the eldest son
of Grand Duke of Oldenburg Nikolaus Friedrich and Princess Elisabeth of
Saxony-Altenburg. Friedrich August II took over upon his father's death
and was considered a typical conservative supporter of Wilhelmine
ideal. Like Wilhelm II, he also was deeply interested in sailing and
maritime issues. He was appointed by Wilhelm II as a full admiral in
the Imperial Naval, the only one from Germany's nobility to attain that
rank. He served as Chef of Infanterie-Regiment Nr.91. After the Great
War ended, he retired to Rastede Castle near Oldenburg, where he was
laid to rest in 1931.
