Preußisch Oldendorf is a town in the Minden-Lübbecke district, in North Rhine-Westphalia, Germany. in 1905 the town name Oldendorf was changed officially by puting "Preußisch" in front of it, to make the distinction from other towns with the same name more easy (especially for mail and train stations).
