Once
Upon a Time...
Dear Customer & Visitor
Bishop
Absalon
Once
Upon a Time...
Once upon a time in the fairytale
Kingdom of Denmark and under
the reign of King
Valdemar the Great
(King of Denmark 1157-1182)
- there was a little fishing
village and settlement on
the banks of the east coast
of Sealand. The name of this
little populated area was
called - Harbour
- (Havn in Danish) and was
inhabited by 200-500
people around 1150
AC. When King Valdemar
became King in 1157
- he gave the little community
to his foster brother and
adviser Absalon
- as the citizens were frequently
being harassed and pestered
by predatory expeditions and
raids conducted by the Norwegian
ravagers - German
Wends and the
more abusive Hanseatic League.
Scandinavia's largest capital
This was the foundation of
a new city in 1167
- which later was called Copenhagen
- and since became Scandinavia’s
largest capital.
The fortification of the little
community was very effective
- and trading activities started
to flourish and develop -
while the growth of the population
exceeded about 6.000
around 1400AC. The little
town was then renamed to what
we know as Copenhagen"Købmændenes
Havn" - the Harbour
of Merchants - and then later
named in Danish -
"København."
Hafnia
and Happiest People
In Latin Copenhagen is still
called "Hafnia"
- which was the first name
of the settlement about 1000
years ago. Copenhagen
has since grown and turned
into a modern international
metropolis with 1.8
million inhabitants
- but is still a historical
and cultural City. Just like
in one of Hans Christian
Andersen’s
famous fairytales - where
the ugly duckling
turns into a
beautiful swan -
which is the national Bird
of Denmark. This little story
ends with reference to several
global surveys that show how
the Danes considered themselves
to be the happiest
people in the world
- and that they will live
happily ever after! Take an
online tour trough our Copenhagen
Portal - and learn
much more about the Danish
capital - and Denmark too!
"The
Ugly Duckling"
The
Oresund Bridge
From
Northern Scandinavia - and directly to China - and back again!
The
Oresund Bridge that links Denmark with Sweden
via Copenhagen - is one of the longest combined
tunnel - road and rail bridges in the world.
Actually - it is now possible to drive a car
from the most northern borders of Scandinavia
through Denmark and all the way to China
- without using any type of ferry connection.
There are almost 2.200 bridges
connecting Denmark.

Denmark
- and a tribute to Copenhageners
Denmark
- A little country - but a very big subject
Denmark
Even
though this is a primary site about Copenhagen
- we also want to portrait Denmark
with a brief tour through the Danish Kingdom and
its history as well as describing the democratic
values - religion -
and the thousand years of cultural heritage
that binds this nation together and contributed
to build up the Danish kingdom by many hard working
generations. Even though being a little country
- Denmark is one of the biggest contributors
- when it comes to founding assistance to the
Third World and undeveloped countries.The Danes just adore
their country - and pay happily for their welfare
system - in spite of the fact that they
are the most heavily taxed people
in the world.
Denmark
Danish
Food Culture - A delicious taste of Denmark
Food
Culture
Every
country has their own food culture and drinking
traditions as well has the Danes. Danish
food culture has been cultivated and
improved for many generations and is mainly rooted
from the old country kitchen
and the cold weather conditions
in Denmark. Today Denmark is the most pork
eating nation in the world and the Danes
love their beer - snaps
and wine plus other soft
drinks - when dining.
A
tribute to Copenhageners and their city - plus
some more information - about Copenhagen that
has more than thousand years of history
and Danish culture and has influenced
generations of friendly and helpful citizens -
throughout centuries.
Copenhagen
was founded in the years 1160-67 by Bishop
Absalon (1128-1201) - who was at that time
the counsellor for King Valdemar I
(1131-1182 - Ruled Denmark 1154–57 as Valdemar
the Great). It was King Valdemar I that gave Absalon
the task to build a city on the east coast of Zealand
to protect trade on the Sound (Øresund).
