Denmark, which Denmark

Submitted by myth (Germany), Oct 30, 2022 at 04:05

As I am reading this article one question comes to my mind. Denmark, which Denmark? German media rarely reports on Denmark at all. People don't talk about it. Yet it is one of our nine neighbouring countries. A visitor to Germany may easily conclude the country Denmark does not exist at all.

I know from conversations with Danes, usually outside of Germany, that they have rich everyday-life experience with their bigger neighbours Sweden and Germany.

It seems to me Denmark is the reverse of Germany. Danes observe and avoid the mistakes made by their bigger neighbours. Germans ignores their smalller neighbours and denies their wisdom.

Thanks for making the effort to visit Denmark coming from another continent. How else would we know here what progress is possible just across our border ?
