Copenhagen Denmark City One Hundred Years Ago

Copenhagen is the capital and largest city of Denmark. The name comes from the word Købmandshavn, which means "merchant's port". Copenhagen is located on the east coast of the island (Sjælland) on the banks of the river Sont. The city is divided into several municipalities. The core section "Municipality of Copenhagen" for example contains the Frederiksberg enclave, a municipality in its own right. Founded as a fishing village in the 10th century, Copenhagen became the capital of Denmark-Norway in the early 15th century. In the early 17th century, under Christian IV of Germany, Copenhagen developed into an important European regional center, consolidating its position as the capital of Denmark and Norway with the resources of both kingdoms. Various magnificent architectures were erected and become tourist attractions to this day, such as Børsen (Bursa), Rundetårn (Round Tower), Rosenborg Castle and Frederiksstaden. After experiencing the effects of plague and fire in the 18th century, the city underwent a period of rebuilding. This included the development of the prestigious Frederiksstaden district and the establishment of several cultural institutions such as the Royal Theater and the Royal Academy of Fine Arts. After facing disaster in the early 19th century when Nelson attacked the Dano-Norwegian fleet and destroyed the city, the rebuilding of the Danish Golden Age brought a Neoclassical look to the city's architectural appearance. After World War II, the Finger Plan further developed business centers and residential areas along the train line out of the city center. In the 21st century, Copenhagen has increasingly developed, supported by investment into existing infrastructure and institutions. The city is the cultural, economic and political center of Denmark, as well as one of the financial centers in Northern Europe with the Copenhagen Stock Exchange. Since the completion of the Øresund Bridge, the Copenhagen metropolitan area has been connected to the Swedish province of Scania, with its largest city being Malmö. Famous landmarks in Copenhagen include Tivoli Gardens, the Little Mermaid Statue, Amalienborg and Christiansborg Palaces, Rosenborg Castle, and Frederik Church. And this is the appearance of the Danish city of Copenhagen from 1906 to 1915. You can see the people living peacefully from more than a century ago.
