Joachim von Oldenburg was the son of Claus von Oldenburg, Princely Mecklenburg Council, provisional agent of the Dobbertin Monastery from 1572 to 1591 and Lord of Gremmelin , Vitgest and Pinnow and his wife Ilse von Bredow from the Reinsberg family.

Following his inclinations for intellectual work, his father sent him to school in Güstrow for four years . From 1571 he studied law and history at the University of Rostock and in 1573 moved to the University of Frankfurt (Oder) . In April 1577 he was at the University of Leipzig and then for a year in Heidelberg .

His Grand Tour took him to Italy. There he was in Verona, Padua, Venice, Farraria, Florence. Rome, Naples. In doing so, he learned the Italian language fairly well and continued his studies in general history and politics. His return to Germany took him via Milan, Basel and Strasbourg to Speyer . There he gained his first professional practice during a year at the Imperial Court of Justice and in 1582 at the great Reichstag in Augsburg .

At the request of his father, he returned to Mecklenburg after six years of a cavalier tour . Soon afterwards he was appointed to the Mecklenburg court in Güstrow, and in early 1585 Duke Ulrich gave him the position of chamberlain and upper court inn. In the following year Joachim von Oldenburg was already court marshal and in 1587 he was promoted to court marshal. In 1591 he said goodbye, but received from Duke Ulrich an appointment to the Mecklenburg Council, in order to be used in important legations and dispatches from home .

On September 19, 1591, he married Adelheid von Below , daughter of Georg von Below, Princely Mecklenburg court marshal and provisional officer of the Dobbertin monastery, heir to Nossentin and Kargow , in the town hall of Güstrow . His wife died on February 18, 1592 after just 21 weeks. It was not until nine years later that he married Ilse von Maltzan , daughter of Hartwig von Maltzan, Pomeranian Hereditary Marshal and Wolgast district administrator, Herr auf Kummerow , Vanselow and Osten. The wedding took place in Ribnitz , but this marriage only lasted three years and three months.

In 1592 the Duke gave him the post of governor over Doberan and Ribnitz, after a few years he moved to Ribnitz.

In 1610 he was a privy councilor and, like his father before, was elected provisional officer of the Dobbertin monastery on March 29, 1610. From 1612 he was the advice of the widow of Duke Johann VII , Duchess Sophie von Mecklenburg in Lübz , where she administered her Wittum from the Eldenburg .

From 1612 to 1622 Joachim von Oldenburg was head of the monastery in Dobbertin monastery. On January 2, 1612, he had a poor house set up for six poor subjects in the Pelzer House in Dobbertin and bequeathed 100 guilders to the poor house, as can be seen in the foundation letter for the poor house. The annual poor house registry was kept until 1812.

In the spring of 1621 he began to be ill and had asthma. On March 15, 1622, he traveled for the last time to Grubenhagen to see Fritz vom Berge, the Princely Braunschweig-Lüneburg district administrator.
