The Oldenburger Münsterland is the southern, predominantly Catholic portion of the former Grand Duchy of Oldenburg. The Oldenburger Münsterland comprises the modern day counties of Cloppenburg and Vechta, an area with over 600 years of shared history and tradition. The area is today still primarily defined by its agriculture and claims the hightest density of poultry, pork and beef farming in the Federal Republic of Germany.

Economically, the Oldenburger Münsterland has a relatively low level of unemployment for Lower Saxony.
