C O P E N H A G E N

Copenhagen is thc Capital o f thc kingdom of Denmark, it is the greatest city o f the country and the residence o f the king, seat o f the govcrnment and the greatest and most important coininercial and industrial center, focus o f the economic and cultural life o f the country with a university, sevcral institutions for advanced learning, many hospitals, modern schools and social institutions, etc.; Copenhagen, wcllknown for its important artistic and scientific collections, is situated on the Sound (Øresund) on the eastern coast o f Zealand (Sjælland) and the northern part o f thc island o f Amager. The narrow strait between Zealand and Amager constitutes a natural harbour, which in 1894 was extended by a free harbour. Greater Copenhagen, including suburbs, has 1.164.400 inhabitants, or about one quarter o f the total population of Denmark. The metro- politan area, including suburbs, covers 9587 acres. The city consists o f the old town behind the inoats, which now arc transforined into boulevards and pleasing parks, and the districts o f Nørrebro, Østerbro, Vesterbro, Frederiksberg and Sundby, forming a chain around the inner town. Among other suburbs wc mention: Vanlose, Valby, Hvidovre, Brønshøj, Gentofte, etc. The ministries, thc castle o f Christiansborg (parliament), the Thorvaldsen Museum and the Stock Exchange are situated on the Slotsholmen (Castle Island), surrounded by canals and linked with the adjacent parts o f the city by 8 bridges. The Government Parliament (Rigsdagen) consists of two chambers, an upper chamber, (Landsting) and a lower chamber, (Folketing); The Folketing has 152 members, and the legislative period is four years. In order to be member o f the Folketing one must be 25 years old and a Danish citizen. The Landsting has 78 members, elected for 8 years at a time. In order to be member one must be above 35 years o f age, and be a resident in one’s constituency. The Rigsdag occupies the eastern wing o f the castle of Christiansborg. History Copenhagen is mentioned for the first time in the year 1043 as a fishing hamlet and trading place, named “ Havn” (meaning: harbour, latinized Hafnia). In order to protect the place against pirates bishop Absalon in 1167 built a stone tower on Castle Island. The rums o f this

8

Practical Tips

tower are preserved below the present Christiansborg. Bishop Absalon therefore is considered the founder o f the town. In 1416 King Erik, surnamed “ o f Pommerania” , moved his residence from Roskilde to Copenhagen, which hereafter quickly assumed the characteristics o f the Capital o f the realm. The university was foundcd in 1479. King Christian IV (1588-1648) was the first king to set his indelible imprint upon the town. Among the buddings erected by him we may mention: Rosenborg castle, the Stock Exchange, the Round Tower (Rundetaarn), the Royal College (Regensen), Holmens Church, Nyboder, as well as the park Kongens Have (meaning: the king’s garden) and the suburb of Christianshavn. In the middlc ages Copenhagen witncsscd many batties and sieges. In the years 1658-60 the Swedes invcstcd the town, in 1801 and 1807 Copenhagen was attacked by the British fleet (the battie of the roads o f Copenhagen, and the bombardmcnt of Copenhagen). This bombardment laid important parts of the inner town in ruins. At the carlicst census in 1769 the population was 92.000. In 1857 the Sound Toil was abolished, which gave renewed iinpetus to the tråde o f Copen­ hagen. Today, Copenhagen is considered the most important commer- cial center in Scandinavia.
