Direkt neben dem Eingangsbereich des Oldenburger Arbeitsamtes, im Schnittpunkt von Zufahrt, Promenade und Hafenbecken, steht diese 6,5 Meter hohe und weithin sichtbare Plastik von Bernhard Luginbühl. Sie weist eine ganze Reihe maritimer Details auf wie Anker, Poller, Schiffsschrauben und Ketten. Diese Eisenteile sind mit einer matten, rauhen Rostschicht überzogen.
Die Großplastik Olderburgerring ist eine Auftragsarbeit für das Oldenburger Arbeitsamt. Der Schweizer Bildhauer Bernhard Luginbühl (1929 - 2011) verarbeitete zusammen mit seinen Söhnen, Ivan und Brutus, ca. zehn Tonnen Eisen, Teile die er auf der Oldenburger Brandt-Werft vorfand. Per Schiff wurde das fertige Werk von der Werft zu ihrem Bestimmungsort gebracht.
