The House and Merit Order of Duke Peter Frederick Louis (German: "Haus und Verdienstorden von Herzog Peter Friedrich Ludwig") or proper German Oldenburg House and Merit Order of Duke Peter Frederick Louis (German: "Oldenburgische Haus- und Verdienstorden des Herzogs Peter Friedrich Ludwig") was a civil and military order of the Grand Duchy of Oldenburg, a member state of the German Empire.
 The order was founded by Grand Duke Augustus of Oldenburg on November 27, 1838, to honor his father, Peter Frederick Louis of Oldenburg.
 It became obsolete in 1918 after the abdication of the last grand duke.
Peter Alexandrovich of Oldenburg (Peter Friedrich Georg, Duke of Oldenburg) (21 November 1868 – 11 March 1924) was the first husband of Grand Duchess Olga Alexandrovna of Russia, the youngest sister of Tsar Nicholas II.
The Asturian or Astur-Leonese dynasty ("dinastía asturiana" or "astur-leonesa"), known in Arabic as the Beni Alfons or Banu Alfonso ("sons of Alfonso"), was the ruling family of Asturias, Galicia and León from about 740 until 1037.
 The first king of the dynasty was Alfonso I, son of Duke Peter of Cantabria.
 For the first century, rule alternated between Alfonso's descendants and those of his brother, Fruela of Cantabria.
 With the death of Alfonso II a century later, a younger branch of the family took the throne, headed by Ramiro I.
 For most of the 10th century, internecine squabbles resulted in divided rule and succession struggles among various branches of the family, which were brought to an end by the succession of Bermudo II in 984.
 The rule of the dynasty ended with the defeat and death of Bermudo III in 1037, the throne passing via his sister to Ferdinand I of León.
The North German Basin is a passive-active rift basin located in central and west Europe, lying within the southeastern most portions of the North Sea and the southwestern Baltic Sea and across terrestrial portions of northern Germany, Netherlands, and Poland.
 The North German Basin is a sub-basin of the Southern Permian Basin, that accounts for a composite of intra-continental basins composed of Permian to Cenozoic sediments, which have accumulated to thicknesses around 10 - .
 The complex evolution of the basin takes place from the Permian to the Cenozoic, and is largely influenced by multiple stages of rifting, subsidence, and salt tectonic events.
 The North German Basin also accounts for a significant amount of Western Europe's natural gas resources, including one of the worlds largest natural gas reservoir, the Groningen gas field.
