A UNESCO SITE Finest renaissance architecture and gardens UNESCO A BROAD SELECTION OF ATTRACTIONS - FOR EVERYONE Fredericia is a Scandinavian cruise destination situated in the heart of Denmark. Whether you are into historic and authentic attractions, culture sites or activities for the entire family, Fredericia is the perfect destination. Fredericia is surrounded by world famous tourist attractions and within a 1-hour drive you can reach three UNESCO sites, the childhood home of the world famous author Hans Christian Andersen, the original LEGOLAND® and many other sites. CITY OF FREDERICIA HISTORY AND AUTHENTICITY THE MOST WELL-PRESERVED RAMPARTS IN NORTHERN EUROPE Fredericia was established as a fortress town in 1650. On the landside, the town was laid out in circular form with nine large moated bastions. On the waterfront, the town had a somewhat weaker fortification line together with a citadel as its last defense. Fredericia was planned as a fortress town and the streets within the ramparts are all regular and entirely perpendicular. Fredericia has been of great importance in the history of Denmark. Best known is the great mili- tary victory for Denmark that occurred in Fredericia in 1849. The fortifications were dismantled in 1909 and the green ramparts converted into a large public park. Today, it is possible to walk along the entire ramparts and view the beautiful nature by the Little Belt. THE FIRST EVER MONUMENT TO HONOR THE UNKNOWN SOLDIER The Brave Soldier is a statue of a proud Danish soldier, which honors the military importance that Fredericia once had. It is located at the main entrance to the city and serves as the main starting point for visitors standing by the ramparts. THE ROYAL JELLING MOUNDS, RUNIC STONES AND CHURCH HOME OF THE VIKING KINGS The village of Jelling is home to Europe’s most striking Viking Age monuments: two large barrows and two runic stones erected by kings Gorm the Old and Harald Bluetooth. Royal Jelling is a modern and interactive visitor center under the auspices of the National Museum of Denmark. Guests can explore the exciting story of the Viking Age and learn more about the transition to Christianity in Denmark as well as the Danish kings. WORLD HERITAGE UNESCO FOR MORE THAN 20 YEARS The eighth-century Jelling Monuments – two runic stones by the Jelling Church and two mighty ro- yal burial mounds to the north and south of the church – came under UNESCO patronage in 1994. Distance from Fredericia: 35 km Duration of transport by bus: 45 min CHRISTIANSFELD - A MORAVIAN CHURCH SETTLEMENT Founded in 1773, Christiansfeld was planned and built more than 230 years ago as the headquarters of the Moravian Brethren in Denmark and is named after King Christian VII. The Church of the Moravian Brethren is characterized by simplicity and is the largest church hall in Denmark without supporting beams. UNESCO AND ONE-OF-A-KIND ARCHITECHTURE From an architecturally point of view, the town style of Christiansfeld is unique. A strict and harmonic architecture forms the framework of a calm and green town. With its straight streets, beautiful buildings and the outstanding and beautiful church square, Christiansfeld is an architectural gem. These unique chracterictics meant that Christiansfeld was added to the esteemed list of world heritage UNESCO sites in 2015. Distance from Fredericia: 42 km Duration of transport by bus: 35 min THE WADDEN SEA A UNIQUE NATURE RESERVE FULL OF LIFE THE LARGEST UNBROKEN SYSTEM OF INTERTIDAL SAND AND MUD FLATS IN THE WORLD The Wadden Sea National Park is by far the largest of Denmark's national parks. It is interna- tionally known as a resting place for millions of migratory birds, and more than 10 million of them pass through the Wadden Sea twice a year. Large flocks of European starlings can be found flying in formations known as the sort sol (Black Sun). The Wadden Sea also has large numbers of breeding birds, fish, and invertebrates such as starfish and blue mussels. It is home to the largest population of the common seal in Denmark and furthermore provides habitat for more than 500 species of plants and animals. A TREASURE CHEST OF NATURAL HIGHLIGHTS - ALL WAITING TO BE DISCOVERED The Wadden Sea is one of the last remaining large-scale, intertidal ecosystems where natural processes continue to function largely undisturbed. Since 2014, the Wadden Sea has been featured on UNESCOs World Heritage list. Distance from Fredericia: 95 km Duration of transport by bus: 75 min EGESKOV CASTLE - FINEST RENAISSANCE ARCHITECTURE A PRIME EXAMPLE OF RENAISSANCE ARCHITECTURE Egeskov castle was built in 1554 in the heart of southern Funen, and Count Ahlefeldt and his family still live here to this very day. As one of the finest examples of renaissance architecture in Northern Europe, the castle has an authentic moat, a spire, a banqueting hall and winding staircases, and its thick walls resonate with fabulous legends about fearsome creatures. DENMARK'S MOST BEAUTIFUL GARDEN Egeskov has won the European Garden Award when the European Garden & Heritage Network voted it Best European historic garden in 2012. This lovely spot in Denmark also caught the attention of CNN, which has nominated Egeskov ‘one of the world's 12 most fabulous gardens’ in 2013. Distance from Fredericia: 80 km Duration of transport by bus: 60 min ODENSE - THE CAPITAL OF FAIRY TALES THERE ONCE WAS A MAN NAMED HANS CHRISTIAN ANDERSEN The city of Odense is one of the oldest cities in Denmark. The history goes back more than 1000 years, and the city is probably best known for its famous son, the author Hans Christian Andersen, who through his fairy tales has put his mark on the city. A tour to Odense will take you through the history of Hans Christian Andersen combined with the history of the city. For more than 100 years, Odense has had its Hans Christian Andersen Museum and every year, thousands of tourists from all over the world visit the birthplace of the famous poet. Today, the museum houses a thorough insight to Hans Christian Andersen´s life, his character, his travels and his many connections at home and abroad. At the Tinderbox museum, children can explore the universe of the Hans Christian Andersen fairy tales as they dress up in authentic costumes, make a wish by the wish tree or re-live the many fairy tales in the exciting Tinderbox.

  • Creating Holy People and Places on the Periphery
    Creating Holy People and People Places Holy on theCreating Periphery Creating Holy People and Places on the Periphery A Study of the Emergence of Cults of Native Saints in the Ecclesiastical Provinces of Lund and Uppsala from the Eleventh to the Thirteenth Centuries During the medieval period, the introduction of a new belief system brought profound societal change to Scandinavia. One of the elements of this new religion was the cult of saints. This thesis examines the emergence of new cults of saints native to the region that became the ecclesiastical provinces of Lund and Uppsala in the twelfth century. The study examines theearliest, extant evidence for these cults, in particular that found in liturgical fragments. By analyzing and then comparing the relationship that each native saint’s cult had to the Christianization, the study reveals a mutually beneficial bond between these cults and a newly emerging Christian society.

  • Hans Tavsen 1 Hans Tavsen
    Hans Tavsen 1 Hans Tavsen Hans Tavsen was born in Birkende in Funen in 1494. He died in Ribe in 1561. Hans Tavsen began his studies in 1516 at the University of Rostock, where he probably studied free arts as his basis education. He studied in Wittenberg from 1523-1524, and during that time a theological discussion concerning state and church spread all over Europe. Hans Tavsen was fascinated by Luther’s ideas and became a Lutheran himself. Lutheran vicar In 1525, Hans Tavsen was appointed Lutheran vicar in Viborg by the king. His sermons impressed the people in Viborg, and they got caught by the Lutheran faith. That way the Lutheran ideas spread through lots of market towns in Denmark. Not in Ribe, however, where Iver Munk was bishop. Vicar in Copenhagen In 1527 Hans Tavsen follows Luther’s example and got married. That was a true riot against the Catholic Church and the pledge where priests and monks swore to live in celibacy. In 1529 King Frederik I appointed Hans Tavsen vicar at Nikolaj Church in Copenhagen. It was a very complex time. Officially, the King was opposed to heretics, but at the same time he sympathised with the Lutheran ideas. In Copenhagen during the siege Under “The Feud of the Count” Hans Tavsen and his wife were in Copenhagen and also during the siege of the city. It is a very tiring time for everyone in the city. The army of Rantzau and Christian III prevented provisions from reaching the city. Within the city the population stood by their protestant belief, and a year went by before the city surrende- red because of starvation.

  • Literature Jens Lohfert Jørgensen, Aalborg University
    Literature Jens Lohfert Jørgensen, Aalborg University This survey covers the years 2010 and 2011 1. General Anne-Marie Mai, Hvor litteraturen finder sted, i: Fra Guds tid til menneskets tid 1000–1800, 2010, ii: Længslens tidsaldre 1800–1900, 2010, iii: Moderne tider 1900–2010, Gyldendal, 473, 294, 496 pp., presents an innovative approach to Danish literary history. It is structured around (some of) the sites where literature has historically taken place, in and outside the country: the cathedral, exemplified by Ribe cathedral; the manor house and the court, exemplified by Anne Krabbe’s Jutland manor Stenalt, and Frederik II’s and Christian IV’s courts respectively; the academy, exemplified by Sorø Academy; the vicarage and the salon, by Nikolai Frederik Severin Grundvig’s vicarage in Udby and Friederike Brun’s salon on Sophienholm; the newspaper office, by Politikens hus in Copenhagen; the metropolis, by New York; and finally the virtual site constituted by the internet, exemplified by www.afsnit.dk, which is the oldest Danish literary site on the internet. Though Ribe Cathedral and Sorø Academy, in particular, are cultural centres that connect the literature of different historical periods, in M.’s depiction each site represents one particular period: from the Middle Ages to the present day. This brings literature alive. The analysis of the cathedral, for instance, is introduced by a description of how the phenomenological perception of time and space changes when one steps inside. M. thereby presents the reader with a somatic experience of Danish literary history, which no critic has previously achieved. Hvor litteraturen finder sted stands apart from its predecessors by the theoretical level of reflection that characterizes it.

  • Attending School in Ribe During the Reformation
    Attending school 1 Attending school in Ribe during the Reformation The school was part of the Church. The oldest school in Denmark was founded in Ribe in 1145. Back then Denmark was Catholic. Christianity was introduced in Ribe in the year 800 when the first Christians came to Denmark. The Church gained great power and churches and schools were built in Ribe. A bishop came to town and was granted power and wealth. His coins were made close to the Cathedral, and Ribe became a powerful town. Of course the town got its own school where boys could learn Latin and how to read and write so one day they could become priests and educated men. For more than a few hundred years the Latin School in Ribe was the only upper secondary school in Ribe diocese that covers the area from Holstebro up north and to Tønder down south. The Church affected the lives of the people in town In 1560 there were approx. 100 pupils attending the Latin School in Ribe. The poorest pupils (approx. 12) lived in a dorm close to “Puggaard” right next to the Cathedral School. They ate in the Sct. Catharinae convent that was turned into a hospital after the Reformation. They were obligated to attend service every day. On weekdays the service started at 4.30 am with morning devotion, and on Sundays the early mass was at 5 or 6 am. High Mass started at 8 am. Baptisms and weddings were held here. Then the teachers and pupils and the townsmen went to church.
