Denmark Overview
Denmark is a flat and hilly country between the North Sea and the Baltic Sea in the transition area between Central and Northern Europe. Its climate is characterized by cool summers and mild winters. In addition to the Jutland peninsula, which crosses the Limfjord in the north, Denmark consists of around 490 islands, mostly in the Baltic Sea. Of the hundred or so inhabited islands, Zealand (the largest island) and Funen are the most densely populated. In the greater Copenhagen area almost a quarter of the Danish population lives. Almost two thirds of the country’s area is used for agriculture. Denmark is a pioneer in organic farming and the use of wind energy. Food processing is one of the most important branches of the export-oriented economy. Copenhagen is known as the »world cycling capital«. The society is traditional, liberal and cosmopolitan at the same time. Education and equality are very important. As a monarchy, Denmark can look back on 1200 years of state tradition. With its Basic Law of 1849, the country paved the way for parliamentarianism in Europe. Due to the multi-party system, as in Norway and Sweden, coalitions are the rule and minority governments are frequent, either led by Social Democrats or liberal-conservative parties. As an EU member, Denmark renounces the common currency euro and integration in the area of home affairs and law.

Culture
Danish culture was first made tangible in the Viking Age through runic inscriptions. Impressive Gothic churches were built in the Middle Ages, the largest of which is the cathedral in Roskilde. With Bible translations during the Reformation, Danish became a literary language. Danish music experienced a “golden age” during the Romantic period. Up to the present day it has preserved much of the popular.
The Renaissance and Baroque left behind many magnificent castles and mansions, including Frederiksborg Castle (1602–20) and Kronborg Castle on the Øresund, which is world-famous for Shakespeare’s play “Hamlet”. The sculptor Bertel Thorvaldsen (* 1770, † 1844) is an important representative of classicism with his sculptures. The founding of the royal porcelain manufactory (1775) was the starting signal for the development of Danish design, which many ori
entertained. Modern art can not only be seen, but also experienced, on the extensive grounds of the Louisiana Museum in Fredensborg.
The art fairy tales by HC Andersen with characters such as the “ugly duckling”, the “little mermaid”, the “girl with the sulfur sticks” and the “snow queen” are still popular today. Karen (Tanja) Blixen (* 1885, † 1962) became known for her stories (“Babette’s Banquet”) and reports from Africa (“Out of Africa”). Today Jussi Adler-Olsen (* 1950) writes successful crime novels. Danish film directors take a close look at society and politics. These include Lars von Trier (* 1956) and Susanne Bier (* 1960).
The Danes love sweet baked goods. An important part of their food culture is the smørrebrød, a sandwich with many types of toppings. Popular sports are soccer and handball. The Danes also like to play badminton and cycle. With a dense network of paths, wide lanes and right of way for bicycles in local traffic, Copenhagen is one of the most bicycle-friendly cities in the world. With the »Tivoli«, the first amusement and leisure park was opened in Copenhagen in 1843. Typically Danish is the effort to make life “hyggelig”, that is, pleasant and comfortable – but not boring.
