A Taste of History

Food and drink have largely shaped the world we live in now. Over the years, sumptuous servings have been used to mark status and power; while everyday diet has made a difference for high and low – for health or unhappiness, for well-being or hunger, for survival or early death.

At the same time, the threads of the party have woven fabric for lots of ups and downs. From the Vikings' Jól to lavish wedding parties to today's Christmas lunches, power structures have been challenged, kings have been deposed and new rulers elected. The party cements our social existence, but is also dangerous. A wrong table plan can start family feuds and blood feuds.

On the tour, a Taste of History, you experience all aspects of history when you visit the Museum Farm Karensminde, which is part of Mark – the museum for a new history of Denmark.

The museum reflects the last 400 years of history and tells the story of the development from an agricultural society through industrialization to the welfare state we have today.

A Taste of War and Peace

Join the tour, a Taste of War and Peace, where you will hear about the siege of Fredericia's fortress in 1849. May and June 1849 were tough for the soldiers of Fredericia, and outside the ramparts lay over 14,000 Schleswig-Holstein forces.

Day by day, the enemy strengthened their defensive positions, making any potential sortie from the fortress increasingly difficult. In between, the Schleswig-Holsteiners bombarded the city. Supplies were scarce, and the daily rations were monotonous.

The tour, Enjoy the History of Skamlingsbanken, offers great transformations. In the mid-1800s, all the tectonic plates of technology, ideology, and politics were in motion.

When the smoke of the Napoleonic Wars had cleared, a number of the old empires and monarchies in Europe had collapsed. People gathered around national identities, aided by the Industrial Revolution, which led to economic growth and increased mobility.

Conversely, the communities that parties and parties created are also important. They have changed attitudes and created moods. As you can see in the public meetings that were held at Skamlingsbanken. They helped develop and maintain the Danish identity in North Schleswig. Had that not happened, the Danish border would probably have gone just south of Kolding.

You can't avoid beer and cakes if you want to understand the history of mankind. And to celebrate that history, each location on this tour is ready with some special drinks to buy home in your basket. Do it. And taste the history when you get home.
