P R E F A CE . r HIS BOOK has been published not alone to render to the foreign guests of oar Capital a short and clear account of what Copenhagen is and of its treasures, bat the intention farther- more is — and not least — to tell abroad about the high rank of the Danish Capital as a tourists place. The description of the various sights there­ fore have been given without details; the readers will find these In the catalogues, furnished by each single institution for the accommodation of the visitors. And further the limits for the contents have been widened more than usually is the case in the touristbooks; the distribution abroad chiefly intends to make the traveller decide for Copenhagen , if the route of the journey not alrea­ dy has been fixed. The book therefore, besides in Danish, is published contemporaneously in the three principal languages. It is to be hoped, that, after the return home, the book will be able to recall all good remini­ scences of a visit to Copenhagen and thereby cause, that our foreign guests, each in his cir­ cle, will draw the attention to our city. I am much indebted to my collaborators — and among these to the officials of the museums, libra­ ries and other institutions, who have taken the trouble to verify the authenticity of the infor­ mations set forth in this book. Copenhagen, in the spring 1025. I var Hiort.

I n t r o d u c t i o n . The first question, presenting itself to the traveller, planning a journey to Copenhagen, will natu rally be, which is the best season. If the object of the journey is sightseeing, the summer- season is preferable, b u t if one wishes to get acquainted with the intellectual and artistic life spheres, the winter ought to be chosen. The summer-season runs from May to August, both months inclusive, but in this period the big theatres are closed and the season of the concerts, lectures, etc. has been su ­ spended. As an equivalent, in the meantime, exellent concerts are given every day in the famous Tivoli w ith weekly evenings for symphonies and appearance of worldknown soloists. And further some of the m inor theatres are open for vaudeville and revues. But one will retu rn enriched w ith one of the most beautiful experiences, if one happens to be present a t one of the open a ir performances on a light and warm summernight in the park of Dyrehaven outside Copenhagen. Ju ly and A ugust form the height of the summer-season, June being the foreseason. The last p a rt of June, Ju ly and the first half of Au­ gust are generally considered the best time to visit Copen­ hagen. A t th a t time the parks, pleasure grounds, gardens and promenades are in their fullest bloom, and the life of the Danish capital unfolds itself in its most characteristic way at the places of amusement, the w atering places along the coast of the Sound — the Danish R iviera — and in the forests of the broad Danish beeches.

Many people, in the meantime, consider May and Septem­ ber as being the special months for travelling, and these two months, as it happens, are usually very line in Den­ mark : in May the beech unfolds its ligth and downy leaves, while the ground is covered with myriads of charm ing flo­ wers, and in September, when the sky, high and clear, is shining on the gaudy colours of the forest, the day m ight be as warm as in the middle of the summ er; in the evening the rockets and suns from the fireworks in Tivoli compete w ith the lights from the theatres, whose season has ju st begun, while it ends with the month of May. The winter-season proper begins after New-Year with the first performances of the theatres and the fine concerts. A t the same time the social life and the ball season opens up. I t has been the custom lately, th at New-Years evening by the Copenhagener is celebrated outside the home, and the leading hotels and restau ran ts therefore are arranging festivals, for which seats have to be reserved quite a time ahead. On Sundays all business in shops and factories is forbid­ den but from 4 o’cl. the places of amusement are open. During the summer, especially on Sundays, the trains carry Thousands and Thousands to the beautiful environs of the capital, and in the w inter the stream of people goes to the Dyrehaven for ski-ing, skating or tobogganing — th a t is, if the w inter is hard enough for these kinds of sport. During the heigth of the season it is advisable to secure the hotelroom in advance. The to u rist n a tu rally will ask, how much it costs to live in Copenhagen a day. This question, of course, is dif­ ficult to answer satisfactory, as it depends on individual requirements of comfort and on tlie more or less practical way of arrangem ent, but we should say, th at 20—25 K roner will be a comfortable average, if the to u rist wants to fre­ quent the better class places. W ith more modest require­ ments, of course, it is possible to live cheaper. Tt is of importance, in the meantime, in advance to know as much as possible of the local conditions in order to be able to find ones bearings in comparatively short time, and for this purpose we have published this book, in the hope, th a t it may prove useful to the guests of Copenhagen and make them feel at home in our city and in the future make them long back to it.

While Denmark in the be­ ginning of the nineteenth century, owing to its politi­ cal position, had quite a la r­ ge diplomatic representation both in Europe and in other parts of the world, the num ­ ber of the legations during the following decades, espe­ cially after the war w ith Germany in 1864, was very much reduced, finally consi­ sting of only four to five le­ gations in Europes most im­ p ortan t countries and one outside Europe. (W ashing­ ton) . In the beginning of the present century a few diplo­ matic consulates were esta­ blished as a tria l and a couple of commercial attaches were employed a t the legations. The great war, in the meantime, proved, th a t Den- marks representation abroad

was altogether inadequate, both political and commer­ cial. The whole foreign re­ presentation therefore was reorganized by a law of May 1921. Denmark is now represen­ ted by legations in most of the European capitals and several oversea. Tn a great number of im portant places of trade and ports consula­ tes have been established. The government in the course of time lias experienced, th a t the commercial interests are fully as im portant as the political, and the legations therefore are commissioned to attend to the interests of the Danish industry and commerce in •the various countries. For this reason commercial and ag ricultural attaches have been employed a t most of the legations, while to

The government has taken advantage of the low valuta to buy own buildings for the legations in several capitals, and the offices in these pla­ ces have been furnished with old pieces of a rt and fu rn i­ ture, partly taken from mu­ seums in Copenhagen. It may be mentioned, that the Foreign Office publishes a monthly paper, printed in Danish, containing inform a­ tions of economic and com­ mercial interest besides the re­ ports from the legations and consulates of importance to Danish trade. Besides this another month­ ly paper is published, the »Danish Foreign Office J o u r­ nal«, which

j now is installed in Christi- j ansborg Palace, has there : nearly a hundred rooms at its disposal. The main-department, com­ prising the political-commer­ cial departments, is directed by a departmentSidireetor, and, besides these, juridical departments and a pressbu- reau have been established. The representation of Den­ m ark abroad with reference to the new law is not as yet complete, b u t it is the inten­ tion gradually, according to the experience, to establish new representations a t the places, where legations have proved to be necessary.

Chapter 3. T h e Parliament.

The Danish Government is composed of the K ing and tlve Parliam ent or Diet. The la t­ ter is elected by the people and consists of two Ting, the Landsting and the Follceting (The Upper House and the Lower House). The P arliam ent resides at Christiansborg. The main-en­ trance is in the Rigsdags- gaarden, where a monumental granit-stairw ay leads op to the gateway. This is suppor­ ted by four caryatid-like male statues by the sculptor A. llundgaard, who besides these, lias made the coats of arms of the districts and towns and the heads alove the w in­ dows in the fronts, represen­ tin g members of the Con­ stitu en t Assembly. Through the main-gateway one enters the hall, where permission is attained to in­ spect the abode of the Danish P arliam ent with all the mo­ dern arrangem ents and com­ modities. I t may not be as splendidly and artistically equipped as the magnificent Parliam ent-buildings of the great countries, bu t w ith its elegant solidity it formes a

home, worthy of the Danish Legislative Assembly. We recommend the illu stra­ ted pam phlet: Rigsdagen, Christiansborg to be had at the entrance (Kr. 1,00) and only mention the following facts. The P arliam ent has its aim printing office, installed in the building, the only a r­ rangement of this kind in the world. I t has its own bathing establishment and own restaurant, in which the palm-garden is open to the visitors. I the Common-Hall, where the meetings are held by the Houses together, the end-wall is covered by a great fresco­ painting by professor Oscar Matthiesen, representing the meeting of both Houses in the old Lower House in Fre- dericiagade on June 5. 1915, where the premier of th a t ti­ me, Mr. Zable, bands to the then Speaker M. Pedersen- Nyskov the calligraphed copy of the Constitution of 1915, passed the same day and sig­ ned by the K ing. The Lower House goes through three floors of the

— 15 -

of the life inside the Parlia- j ment on the days af meeting, j Promenading in the Hall or j sitting in the sofas in the : cosy niches by the windows, j groups of members and mini- j sters discuss the problems of j the day. j In the Hall, outside the Lower House the eyes are caught by the big painting by Harold Slolt-Meller of a meeting of the international commission in Slesvig. This picture was bought by the Parliam ent and placed in the Hall, when Slesvig was reuni­ ted with the mother-country. In the middle of the Hail, opposite the big marble fire­ place, is placed a socle whe­ reupon rests the silver cas­ ket, in which lies the copy of the Danish Constitution of

building and has seats for 14!) members and 10 m ini­ sters. The seat of the Spea­ ker and the place, from where the members speak, are made from the oak-wood taken from an old post-mill in the village of Lendemark by Ste- ge. These, as well as the other fu rn itu re of the Parliam ent, are made after the designs of the palace-architect. The, Upper-House is smaller and somewhat lower than the Lower House, b u t contains only seats for 76 members besides the m inisters. In both places the attention may be called to the beautifully car­ ved oaken-wainscots. The big Hall, connecting the two Houses, the first to­ wards the East, the other to­ wards the West, is the center

Chapter 4. C op enhagen , its H istory and Mode of G overnm en t.

Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark, is the largest city in the country, the residence, the only naval-station and most im portant garrison, and until 1922, in which year the fortifications were demo­ lished — the only fortress of the country. I t is the most im portant place of trade and industry, the only university of the country is in Copen­ hagen, besides a number of academies and excellent col­ lections, it is the intellec­ tu al center of science and art and is the seat of the P arlia­ ment and Supreme Court. Copenhagen is built on the E astern coast of Sealand and the Nothern point of the isle of Amager, with the narrow waters of Kalvebodstrand between, fortning the P ort of Copenhagen (see the map overleaf) From the entrance of the P o rt are seen the num ­ ber of towers and spires, on account of which the Capital has been named »T7tc City of the beautiful towersk. Copenhagen was founded in 1167 by the bishop Absalom

But in spite of its age, the city does not convey the im­ pression of being old. This fact is due chiefly to two big fires in 1728 and 1795 and to the English bombard­ ment in 1807, by which great parts of the city were laid in ashes. Including Frederiksberg and the new incorporated di­ stricts, the number of inhabit t a n ts .a t present are 700,000 or more than 1/0 of the po­ pulation of Denmark. Copenhagen consists of the following p a r ts : 1 : The old town inside the boulevards, divided by the harbour into the. Copenhagen proper on Sealand and Christianshavn on Amager. 2: The districts bu ilt on the grounds of the old town-walls and fortifications, forming on the Sea- landside a ring around the old town, bounded towards West by the Sortedam-, the Peblinge- and the Set. J u r­ gens lakes, towards South by Kalvebodstrand and towards North by the Copenhagen Free-Port. 3: The Suburbs

Chapter 5. M eans of C omm un ica tion . Anybody, having travelled in Denmark or having looked a t the map of Denmark, knows, th a t this country is the Kingdom of islands par exellence. Only Ju tla n d is connected w ith the European Continent, while the rest of the country consists of la r­ ger or smaller islands. by the hundreds are cruising daily between the islands car- rying passengers and goods from one p a rt of the country to another. Regular steamship-lines carry on the connection with abroad with service on New York, Stockholm, Helsingfors, Oslo, Stettin, Lubec and R i­ ga, daily except Sunday be­ tween Esbjerg and Harw ich and regular passengerboats from Esbjerg to Antwerp and Dunkerque.

As a consequence hereof it has been impossible te build a continuous net of railways. I t was necessary, in the meantime, to establish the rig h t railway-connection be­ tween the Capital and the other parts of Europe, North as well as South, and steam- ferries, able to carry the trains, therefore have been used for many years, and Denmark in this respect is being regarded as one of the leading countries. Besides the ferries, steamers

Copenhagen forms the star, ting-point of all the most im ­ portan t railway-lines on Sea- land. The aggregate freight to and from Copenhagen du­ ring the year 1923—24 was 2,1 million tons, while the number of passengers a rri­ ving and departing in the sa­ me period were 10 millions.
