  • 2017-08-19 Copenhagen Liberty
    Copenhagen Liberty Sunday, August 20 We had a couple hours between flights and went to Huxley's for an English Breakfast. We both had opened the box breakfast British Airways offered about an hour and a half before landing... and we closed the boxes back up. Then we cleared the checkpoint for through passengers and had time to catch up before our connecting flight to Copenhagen. Liz had salmon eggs Benedict and I had eggs, English bacon and a banger, grilled tomato, and baked beans. The banger was less than tasty and my stomach began acting up, either from the curried chicken the night before or the banger this morning. I was uncomfortably cramped. We walked through the terminal to catch the transfer train to our gate. They had a standing, woman shaped screen which almost seemed like a hologram and, depending which language had been selected, spoke to passersby to tell them how to use the train. It was quite clever and very realistic. We followed her guidance and made our way to Gate 62 in A Terminal. The two hour flight passed quickly and we were immediately met at luggage claim by our guide to the hotel. There were six people in our ride but later that day we would be joined by another 19 people on the On Line Vacation extension. When we arrived at the Trivoli Hotel and Convention Center we were 121 surprised to see Olivier, our London hotel guide from last year. He would coordinate our booking and then go on to Stockholm later in the week.

  • Danish Cold War Historiography
    SURVEY ARTICLE Danish Cold War Historiography ✣ Rasmus Mariager This article reviews the scholarly debate that has developed since the 1970s on Denmark and the Cold War. Over the past three decades, Danish Cold War historiography has reached a volume and standard that merits international attention. Until the 1970s, almost no archive-based research had been con- ducted on Denmark and the Cold War. Beginning in the late 1970s, however, historians and political scientists began to assess Danish Cold War history. By the time an encyclopedia on Denmark and the Cold War was published in 2011, it included some 400 entries written by 70 researchers, the majority of them established scholars.1 The expanding body of literature has shown that Danish Cold War pol- icy possessed characteristics that were generally applicable, particularly with regard to alliance policy. As a small frontline state that shared naval borders with East Germany and Poland, Denmark found itself in a difficult situation in relation to the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) as well as the Soviet Union. With regard to NATO, Danish policymakers balanced policies of integration and screening. The Danish government had to assure the Soviet Union of Denmark’s and NATO’s peaceful intentions even as Denmark and NATO concurrently rearmed. The balancing act was not easily managed. A review of Danish Cold War historiography also has relevance for con- temporary developments within Danish politics and research. Over the past quarter century, Danish Cold War history has been remarkably politicized.2 The end of the Cold War has seen the successive publication of reports and white books on Danish Cold War history commissioned by the Dan- ish government.

The Legacy of the Danish Resistance in World War II by Joy Ibsen Introduction When I first heard about this conference, I immediately thought of this topic, because I believe the Danish Resistance in World War II provides a legacy of critical importance. It is one which can be of help in guiding our way through today's murky social and political problems as we grapple with terrorist threats and moral issues confronting us in this new millennium. It is a story of special significance to all Danes and Danish-Americans. I have relied on several sources in developing this paper, and am especially indebted to an unpublished paper and interview with Immanuel Rodholm, my mother's cousin, who was born in Danevang, Texas, and who moved to Denmark as a young boy. Immanuel, or lb as he is called, has enjoyed a distinguished career.

  • Copenhagen Arbitration Day
    2020 COPENHAGEN ARBITRATION DAY The Arbitrator and the Law April 2, at the House of Industry Welcome to the COPENHAGEN ARBITRATION DAY 2020 Dear Colleagues, The Danish Institute of Arbitration (DIA) and ICC Denmark are very pleased to welcome you to the third Copenhagen Arbitration Day. We are honored to present an interesting program and it is with great pleasure that we thank our speakers, which are some of the most recognized practitioners in the field. The event takes place in the House of Industry - the headquarters of the Confederation of Danish Industry - which is located in the heart of Copenhagen just between the Tivoli Gardens and the Copenhagen City Hall where the vibrant city is mirrored in the ever-evolving color and glass facade of the building. The Copenhagen Arbitration Day is the central event of the Danish arbitration communi- ty’s calendar as it presents an unequalled opportunity to exchange knowledge on trends within the field of international arbitration and to create and renew a network of colleagues and business contacts in a cozy atmosphere. The conference will be followed by a drinks reception and dinner at the historical Hotel Scandic Palace. Situated in City Hall Square, it is just a few minutes walk from the conference venue. During the dinner, the International Arbitrator José Rosell will deliver a keynote address. The Copenhagen Arbitration Day will be followed by the second annual Nordic Arbitra- tion Day on Friday 3 April 2020, which is a full-day conference organized by the young arbitration practitioners’ associations in the Nordic region.

  • Denmark's Central Bank Nationalbanken
    DANMARKS NATIONALBANK THE DANMARKS NATIONALBANK BUILDING 2 THE DANMARKS NATIONALBANK BUILDING DANMARKS NATIONALBANK Contents 7 Preface 8 An integral part of the urban landscape 10 The facades 16 The lobby 22 The banking hall 24 The conference and common rooms 28 The modular offices 32 The banknote printing hall 34 The canteen 36 The courtyards 40 The surrounding landscaping 42 The architectural competition 43 The building process 44 The architect Arne Jacobsen One of the two courtyards, called Arne’s Garden. The space supplies daylight to the surrounding offices and corridors. Preface Danmarks Nationalbank is Denmark’s central bank. Its objective is to ensure a robust economy in Denmark, and Danmarks Nationalbank holds a range of responsibilities of vital socioeconomic importance. The Danmarks Nationalbank building is centrally located in Copen­ hagen and is a distinctive presence in the urban landscape. The build­ ing, which was built in the period 1965–78, was designed by interna­ tionally renowned Danish architect Arne Jacobsen. It is considered to be one of his principal works. In 2009, it became the youngest building in Denmark to be listed as a historical site. When the building was listed, the Danish Agency for Culture highlighted five elements that make it historically significant: 1. The building’s architectural appearance in the urban landscape 2. The building’s layout and spatial qualities 3. The exquisite use of materials 4. The keen attention to detail 5. The surrounding gardens This publication presents the Danmarks Nationalbank building, its architecture, interiors and the surrounding gardens. For the most part, the interiors are shown as they appear today.

  • Amaliekai, Amaliehaven and Amalienborg Slot
    Amaliekai, Amaliehaven and Amalienborg Slot A stroll from Nyhavn along Amaliekai towards the Royal Palaces and castles of Amalienborg provides an excellent view of Denmark’s Opera House which appears to float upon the water opposite Ameliehaven. If looking in the other di- rection, you’ll get a fantastic view of Danish ar- chitecture that includes the Marble church, Fre- deriksstaden - a district of the city renowned for the important rococo complexes, Amalienborg Palace Square, and harbour beyond. Amalie Garden, is one of the newest parks the city has, opening to the public in 1983. This pret- ty spot was once a busy shipyard and docklands with bustling warehouses and a quay door di- rectly accessing the Royal Family’s residence. The garden was designed by Jean Delogne, a landscape architect, and the four bronze co- lumns and central fountain were created by the Italian sculptor Arnaldo Pomodoro. The addition of this green space in the urban centre was welcomed by most and a part of the redevelopment of the entire Copenhagen port area from industrial use to residential and re- creational spaces. Amalienborg Slot serves as the home for the Danish Royal Family and is the Queen’s official winter residence. The castle complex is made up of four separate palaces, built around an octagonal square with classical palace faca- des and rococo interiors. Situated in the cen- tre of the square is an equestrian statue of King Frederik V. Originally built for four noble families, the Royal family purchased it and took up resi- dence after their Christiansborg Palace burnt down in 1794.
