VPG-DVD-199 - KØBENHAVN Copenhagen is the capital of the Kingdom of Denmark and is situated on the east coast of Sæland Island on the Öresund, the link between the North Sea and the Baltic. It is a European capital of culture, home country of the Little Mermaid and a successful combination of Scandinavian elegance and Middle-European joie de vivre. In 1167 Bishop Absalon Of Roskilde was granted by King Valdemar an area of land on Öresund to which the small settlement of Havn also belonged. For the protection of both fishermen and traders he built a fortress and the settlement developed into Kobmandshavn, the Harbour Of The Traders. Copenhagen was born and the fortress was continuously enlarged until in 1376 a castle was built on its foundation. The huge Christiansborg Slot extends across the larger part of Slotsholmen, Castle Island and it has been Denmark's power base for hundreds of years. The huge statue in the square features King Frederik The 7th on horseback, a monarch known in Danish history as the 'King Of Democracy'. Each day crowds of people make for Copenhagen's world famous landmark, The Little Mermaid, created by artist Edward Eriksen. Tiny and elegant and seated on a stone she gazes yearningly across the sea oblivious to the city's hustle and bustle. The Rundetårn is an unusual building that was built at the command of the Renaissance king, Christian The Fourth. Its circular tower is thirty-six metres high and has a diameter of fifteen metres. In place of a conventional stairway royal architects Hans and Morten Van Steenwinkel constructed a winding two hundred and nine metre long ramp. Thus the somewhat rotund king was able to travel without difficulty by carriage to the astrological observatory at the top! Copenhagen is a friendly metropolis in which tolerance and openness are the order of the day, a 'City On The Sea' that fascinates all who experience it.

TVI-DVD-COP - Kobenhavn (Copenhagen) The City for EveryoneCopenhagen, Denmark's capital, was declared European Culture Capital in 1996.  And it is far from being reserved or sober.  On the contrary, it is festive and full of joy of life, especially after dusk.  Kobenhaven, originally Kobmaendenes Havn, means "The Port of the Traders".  And the city does not bear this name by chance.  The romantic part of the city is concentrated mainly in Nyhaven, the so-called new port and this is further amplified by the fact that the location is closely linked with the name of Hans Christian Andersen, the author of the world's most popular fairytales.  The bronze statue of the unfortunate Little Mermaid has today become the symbol of Copenhagen.  In our film we will visit the architectural monuments from the time of the best known Danish ruler, Christian IV, dubbed the Builder.  The Tivoli entertainment park inspired Walt Disney to build Disneyland.  It has been a Copenhagen attraction for 150 years, along with its extensive wax museum.  Copenhagen a modern city with more than 1.5 million inhabitants, one of the most beautiful and tolerant cities, is looking forward to your visit.

GTR-DVD-1209 - Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark, is rich in tradition and a cultural metropolis open to the world and thus justifiably one of the most popular travel destinations in Northern Europe. Many of the city's royal residences such as Christiansborg Slot on Slotsholmen Island attract huge numbers of visitors. A castle was built there in the 12th century by the founder of the city, Bishop Absalon. However, over the course of time the castle began to decay until it was finally pulled down in 1369 in order to make room for a new castle. Royal guards highlight the significance of Amalienborg that is situated in the heart of Frederikstaden, the winter residence of the Danish royal family. Each day at noon an impressive spectacle takes place in front of the palace when the royal guards march into the square and undertake the official changing of the guard. The wonderfully designed royal gardens of Rosenberg Castle, Kongens Have, is one of the most beautiful parks in Denmark. Built on red bricks and covered with a façade of sandstone the castle is an architectural masterpiece of Dutch Renaissance. The city's castles not only reflect the history of the Danish royal family but also trace the colourful development of the fascinating city of Copenhagen.

GTR-DVD-1212 - In the middle of the 18th century King Frederik ordered the construction of the Frederiks Kirke in the heart of Copenhagen. Around the dome's massive external balustrade there are various statues dedicated to a number of important church leaders including Moses and Martin Luther. With a diameter of over thirty one metres the Baroque dome of the Frederiks Kirke is the third largest of its kind in the world and was originally modelled on London's Saint Paul's Cathedral and also Saint Peter's in Rome. But in spite of its beautiful Neo-Classical appearance and numerous splendid sculptures, the final result turned out to be far smaller than originally hoped for by King Frederik The Fifth. However, as the church and its prominent dome blends so harmoniously with the historical townscape of Copenhagen its present day dimensions have proven to be ideal for its surroundings. The majestic dome of the Frederiks Kirke highlights the architectural importance of this fascinating building as being the largest church of its kind in Scandinavia.

GTR-DVD-1218 - Due to its magnificent architecture and wonderful park, Copenhagen's Rosenborg Slot is a fairytale-like castle. It has also enjoyed a long tradition as a museum and since 1838 various collections belonging to the Danish royal family have been exhibited within its walls. For more than a hundred and fifty years the rooms and halls of the castle, such as the study of King Christian The Fourth, have been open to the public. Today a walk through the rooms of Rosenborg Slot is tantamount to stepping in the footsteps of the Danish royal family. The transformation of the castle into a museum took place in the 19th century. The idyllic royal gardens of Kongens Have are in pleasant contrast to the dominant and historical splendour of the castle. Along with its park, Rosenborg Slot is undoubtedly one of the most beautiful places in Copenhagen.
