Upon arrival in Roskilde - until 1417, the capital of Denmark – we recommend a visit to the the twin-spired Roskilde Cathedral. The construction of the cathedral was commenced during the 12th century and additions have been made through the ages, in different architectural styles. The cathedral is the traditional burial place of Danish monarchs and contains more than 40 royal graves. Continue from Roskilde to Halskov from where you will drive over one of the world’s largest suspension bridges constructed off-shore and arrive on the island of Funen. Continue to Odense, Denmark’s third largest city and Hans Christian Andersen’s home town. We recommend a visit to the home he grew up in, the Hans Christian Andersen Home.

During the 10C, at the height of the Viking period, Jelling was for sometime the royal seat chosen by two Viking kings, Gorm the Old and his son Harald Bluetooth, who started the Danish Royal line. As evidence they left two large burial mounds and two rune stones, known as the Jelling Stones, which have given crucial information about early Danish history.

Today, Frederiksborg is the home of the Museum of National History, the collection of which includes priceless paintings, silver and porcelain items, furniture and tapestries. The castle chapel houses Denmark’s oldest organ from 1610.

  • King's Rune Stones
    29 Minoru Ozawa King’s Rune Stones A Catalogue with Some Remarks Minoru OZAWA For those who are interested in Danish history the Jelling dynasty from the second half of the 10th century to 1042 has had a special meaning. The successive 6 kings, i.e. Gorm the Old (–958), Harald Bluetooth (–987), Swein Forkbeard (–1014), Harald (–1018), Canute the Great (–1035), and Hardecnut (–1042), transformed a small Danish kingdom into one of the most influential states in Northern Europe in the 11th century.1 After Gorm and Harald made steadier the foundation of the kingdom the following kings expanded their stage of activty westward to gain booty with their army. In 1013 Swein conquered England to take the crown into his hand and, after his sudden death, his son Canute reconquered the kingdom to be the king of England in 1018 and king of Norway later in 1028. At the time the Jelling dynasty reigned over three kingdoms which surrounded the North Sea.2 While it is important to reevaluate the rule of the Jelling dynasty from the viewpoint of European political history, we should remember another important activity by the Danes: raising rune stones in memory of the dead. According to Sawyer’s catalogue, the corpus consisting of 200 rune stones is left to the present days as stones themselves or drawings in early modern age in the territory of medieval 1 Concerning the basic information of the Jelling dynasty, see Thorkild Ramskou, Normannertiden 600–1060.

  • Borgmestergården – 100 År I Den Gamle By
    Borgmestergården – 100 år i Den Gamle By Af Niels Meyer og Mathilde Schødt Veland I 100-året for Borgmestergårdens åbning i Den Gamle By kaster nye bygningsarkæologiske undersøgelser lys over gårdens histo- rie, hvor dele af bindingsværket kan dateres til middelalderen. Hovedresultaterne sammenfattes her af bygningsarkæolog, cand. mag. Mathilde Schødt Veland, som står bag undersøgelsen, samt bygingschef, arkitekt maa. Niels Meyer. Borgmestergården kender de fleste som en af de store køb- mandsgårde i Den Gamle By, men bygningen er meget mere end det – det er selve begyndelsen på Den Gamle By. Peter Holm havde stor succes med “Den Gamle Borg- mestergaard” på Landsudstillingen i 1909, og det gav ham rygstød til i 1914 at flytte hele huset en gang mere, til hvor det står i dag, og hvor det nu i 100 år har formidlet dansk boligkultur fra renæssancen til midten af 1800-tallet. Men det at flytte huse og rekonstruere historiske helheder var ab- solut ikke anerkendt i datidens museumskredse. Både Natio- nalmuseets direktør, Sophus Müller og formanden for Aarhus Museum, Konsul Frederik Ollendorff var imod projektet. Borgmestergården er bygget om Ollendorff udtalte faktisk, at det eneste bevaringsværdige flere gange.

Sophus som den var i renæssancen. Müller kaldte svalegangen en imitation, fordi brædderne, han stod på, ikke var fra 1597. Heldigvis var der andre, der så potentialet og gav støtte til Holms projekt. Derved lykkedes det at bevare et enestå- ende eksemplar af renæssancens store bygårde fra Aarhus.

  • “The Sons of Denmark Who After Emigrating Brought Honour to Their Homeland”
    “The sons of Denmark who after emigrating brought honour to their homeland” 29.11.17 A monument to Danes who lost their lives fighting in the First World War is beautifully situated in Århus, Denmark’s second largest city. The names of the men are listed in (almost) alphabetical order, both those who fought for Germany and those who fought for the Allies. The dates and places of birth and death are recorded but neither rank nor regiment: they are equal in having been killed in the line of duty. The majority, 4000, were “Danish-minded” from the Schleswig region who had been conscripted into the German forces while 140 were Danes who had either voluntarily gone abroad for the purpose of joining up or as immigrants, fought for the Allied forces. While there was some controversy over whether specific Schleswigers were sufficiently “Danish-minded” to warrant the honour of being named on the monument, some of the Danes who had emigrated and were killed while serving for the Allies apparently didn’t have, for whatever reason, families to put their names forward. The following 4 all gave their lives for the Allies and also all had a connection with Næstved, a small town on southern Zealand, Denmark. The Andersen/Anderson brothers The brothers Andersen from Stenstrup and Næstved, are named on the monument. They came from a working class family. Their father had originally worked on a farm before the family had moved into the local town. His beautiful young wife, on the photo with her 4 children, died aged 23.

Aarhus is located in Central Denmark on the eastern side of the Jutland peninsula. Jutland is the only part of Denmark that is connected to the mainland of Europe as 41% of the country consists of 443 named islands. The capital Copenhagen is on the island Zealand (Sjælland in Danish), which is 157 km south-east of Aarhus measured in a straight line and 303 km when driving across the island2 Funen (Fyn in Danish). Aarhus has 242,914 inhabitants2 in the urban area (of 91 km ) and 306,650 in the municipal area (of 467 km ).

  • Årets Gang Og Planer for Fremtiden
    Årets gang og planer for fremtiden Thomas Bloch Ravn Oven på et i alle henseender fantastisk 2014, er Den Gamle By i skrivende stund ultimo september 2015 fortsat i god gænge. Besøgstallet er på nogenlunde samme høje niveau som i rekordåret. Stort set hele den første etape af 1974-projektet er nu afsluttet og åbnet for publikum. Nye spændende projekter er i støbeskeen. Og vi krydser fingre for – og tror på – at den foreslåede fredning af Botanisk Have ikke får en karakter, så den vil spænde ben for Den Gamle Bys fremtidige udvikling. Højt besøgstal og god økonomi er grundlag for nødvendige investeringer Helt præcist nåede besøgstallet for 2014 op på 499.247, og totalindtægterne nåede godt 132 mio kr, heraf de 32 i offentlige tilskud. Se yderligere oplys - ninger side 101. Samtidig med en stram udgiftsstyring har det gode besøgstal betydet, at Den Gamle Bys økonomi er blevet væsentligt styrket, så vi har kunnet begynde at lægge penge til side til en række uomgængelige investeringer, der presser sig på i takt med museets vækst. Det drejer sig først og frem- mest om forbedringer på restaurantområdet samt en udbygning af muse- ets magasiner. Det er store investeringer, og der er lang vej endnu. Det er Mökers VVS-værksted derfor positivt, at besøgstallet for 2015 i skrivende stund tegner til at blive i baggården i på samme høje niveau som i 2014. 1974-kvarteret. 10 DEN GAMLE BY 2015 Årets GANG OG PLANER for FREMTIDEN 11 Den Gamle By er en overskudsforretning for det offentlige Den Gamle By modtager driftsstøtte fra såvel Kulturministeriet som Aarhus Kommune.
