( listen)), also spelt Ålborg,[note 1] is Denmark's fourth largest city with Aalborg
Ålborg
an urban population of 140,897.
City
The twin city Nørresundby is 600 metres (2,000 ft) across the Limfjord.
With a population of 217,075 (as of 2019), the Municipality of Aalborg is
the third most populous in the country after Copenhagen and Aarhus.[3]
By road Aalborg is 64 kilometres (40 mi) southwest of Frederikshavn,
and 118 kilometres (73 mi) north of Aarhus. The distance to Copenhagen
is 412 kilometres (256 mi) if travelling by road and not using ferries.
The earliest settlements date to around AD 700. Aalborg's position at the

narrowest point on the Limfjord made it an important harbour during
the Middle Ages, and later a large industrial centre. Architecturally, the
city is known for its half-timbered mansions built by its prosperous
merchants. Budolfi Church, now a cathedral, dates from the end of the View of Downtown Aalborg
14th century and Aalborghus Castle, a royal residence, was built in 1550.
Today, Aalborg is a city in transition from a working-class industrial area
to a knowledge-based community. A major exporter of grain, cement,
and spirits, its thriving business interests include Siemens Wind Power,
Aalborg Industries, and Aalborg Portland. These companies have become
global producers of wind turbine rotors, marine boilers and cement. Coat of arms

History
The area around the narrowest point on the Limfjord attracted settlements as far back as the Iron Age leading to
a thriving Viking community until around the year 1000 in what has now become Aalborg. In the Middle Ages,
royal trading privileges, a natural harbour and a thriving herring fishing industry contributed to the town's
growth. Despite the difficulties it experienced over the centuries, the city began to prosper once again towards the
end of the 19th century when a bridge was built over Limfjord and the railway arrived. Aalborg's initial growth
relied on heavy industry but its current development focuses on culture and education.[10]
Beginnings
Aalborg traces its history back over a

thousand years. It was originally settled as
a trading post because of its position on
the Limfjord. The sites of what were two
settlements and a burial ground can be Hardeknud coin embossed Alabu
seen on Lindholm Høje, a hill overlooking (c. 1040), the original name of
the city. These large settlements, one from Aalborg
the 6th-century Germanic Iron Age, the
other from the Viking Age in the 9th to
Lindholm Høje
11th centuries,[11] evolved at the narrowest point on Limfjord as a result of
the traffic between Himmerland to the south and Vendsyssel to the north.
The first mention of Aalborg under its original name Alabu or Alabur is found on coins from c. 1040, the period
when King Harthacnut (Hardeknud) settled in the area. In c. 1075, Adam of Bremen reported that Alaburg, as he
called it in German, was an important harbour for ships sailing to Norway.[12] In Valdemar's Danish Census Book
from 1231 it was called Aleburgh, possibly meaning "the fort by the stream" as in Old Norse all meant a stream or
current and bur or burgh a fort or a castle.[13] The Church of Our Lady in Aalborg was originally built in the early
12th century but was demolished during the Reformation.[14] Grey Friar Convent, on the east side of Østerå, was
probably built around 1240; it was documented in 1268 when it was a Franciscan Convent of the Order of Friars
Minor, but like many other Roman Catholic monasteries and convents was shut down in 1530 as a result of the
Reformation.[14]
Middle Ages
Aalborg's earliest trading privileges date from 1342, when King Valdemar IV
received the town as part of his huge dowry on marrying Helvig of Schleswig.
The privileges were extended by Eric of Pomerania in 1430 and by
Christopher of Bavaria in 1441. The town prospered, becoming one of the
largest communities in Denmark. Its prosperity increased when the
merchant- and trade association Guds Legems Laug was established in 1481,
facilitating trade with the Hanseatic League,[14] especially from 1516 when
Christian II granted it a monopoly in salting Limfjord's herring.[15] The king
frequently visited the town, where he held court and stayed in the old
Aalborghus. The herring fishery linked Aalborg to the East coast of England, Execution of the rebel Skipper
across the North Sea, both in commercial competition and cultural Clement in Viborg, 1536 (engraving
exchange.[11] During the Middle Ages a number of important institutions by an unknown author, 1574)
were established in Aalborg, including Budolfi Cathedral in the late 14th
century and the Hospital of the Holy Ghost, a monastery and nunnery
founded in 1451 to help those in need.[14] It was converted into a hospital during the Reformation and is still in
use today as a nursing home for the elderly.[14]
In 1530 a large part of the town was destroyed by fire, and in December 1534 it was stormed and plundered by the
king's troops after a peasants' revolt known as the Count's Feud led by Skipper Clement. It resulted in the death
of up to 2,000 people.[14] The Reformation in 1536 brought about the demolition of the town's two
monasteries.[11] As a result of the Reformation, Aalborg became a Lutheran bishopric in 1554.[14]
17th to 19th centuries
From the 1550s to the 1640s, as a result of increased foreign trade, Aalborg
enjoyed great prosperity, second only to that of Copenhagen. The population
grew in parallel with the development of many fine buildings in the city as
merchants benefitted from their shipping routes from Norway to Portugal.[16]
In 1663, the city suffered yet another serious fire, which destroyed the tower
of Budolfi Church.[17]
During the second half of the 18th century, Aalborg entered a further period
of prosperity. In Erik Pontoppidan's Danske Atlas (Danish Atlas) it was
Aalborg in the 1830s: painting of the
described as "after Copenhagen, the best and most prosperous market town
old watermill by wine merchant Bock
in Denmark".[18] The population grew from 4,160 in 1769 to 5,579 in 1801. In
showing the mill pond fed from the
Østerå
1767, the second newspaper ever published in Denmark appeared in the
city.[10]
After Denmark ceded Norway to Sweden in 1814, Aalborg lost its important
role as the country's centre for Norwegian trade. Its former prosperity also suffered as a result of difficulties with
the herring industry as the fish disappeared after the sea breached the Agger Tange (which had linked Thy with
the rest of Jutland at the western end of Limfjord) in the 1825 North Sea storm.[10] The after effects of the state
bankruptcy in 1813 also contributed to widespread poverty in the city. In the mid-19th-century, Aalborg was
overtaken by Aarhus as the largest city in Jutland. Towards the end of the 19th century there was however an
upturn. In 1865, the pontoon bridge over Limfjord was completed, and in 1869, the railway reached the city with
a railway bridge over the sound to Vendsyssel three years later.[11] The harbour facilities were also improved,
making Aalborg Denmark's second port.[19] Aalborg became the country's main producer of tobacco products and
spirits, followed in the 1890s by fertilisers and cement.[20] By 1901, the population had increased to almost
31,500.[10]
20th century industrialisation
Around the beginning of the 20th century, as a result of decisions taken by the municipality, many of the city's
half-timbered houses were torn down. They were replaced by hundreds of modern buildings, completely
changing the look of the city. Factories with smoking chimneys became ever more prevalent in the outskirts.
Among the most important were De Danske Spritfabrikker (spirits and liquors), De forenede Textilfabrikker
(textiles), the East Asiatic Company (trading), Dansk Eternit (building materials) and C.W. Obel's tobacco factory
(established in 1787). Aalborg Portland, run by F.L. Smidth, was one of several cement factories operating in
1913, together employing some 800 workers.[19] By the 1930s, Aalborg was being promoted as "Denmark's new
centre for industry and workers".[20] Replanning continued with additional thoroughfares cutting through the
city. The port facilities were also improved with the help of a dredger and the opening of new docks. In 1933,
Christian X inaugurated a new bridge over Limfjord to replace the fragile pontoon crossing.[11]
Aalborg Airport, officially opened in 1938 because of the success of the cement industry, had in fact operated
flights to Copenhagen since 1936.[21] During the German invasion of Denmark in 1940, the airport was captured
by German paratroopers on the night of 21 April as a base for German aircraft flying to Norway.[22] On 13 August
1940, a dozen Bristol Blenheim bombers of No. 82 Squadron RAF were launched against the Luftwaffe airfield
during one of the most disastrous Royal Air Force raids of the war. One turned back because of fuel problems, but
all of the remaining 11 were shot down by enemy fighters and/or flak batteries within 20 minutes.[23][24] After the
war, the Royal Air Force destroyed all the German facilities including planes, hangars and equipment but left the
passenger facilities intact.[21]
By 1960, Aalborg had become known as the "city of smoking chimneys", with
half of the inhabitants working in industry or manufacturing.[19] Ten years
later, Aalborg's population had grown to around 97,000 inhabitants.[10]
Recent history
The significance of Aalborg's industry

began to decline in the 1970s,
precipitating a fall in the city's German soldiers in conflict with
population until about 1990, when it Aalborg citizens (August 1943)
began to increase again. By the year
2000, the service and education sectors
accounted for about 60 percent of the workforce, partly as a result of the
founding of Aalborg University in 1974. Since 1970, Aalborg and the northern
Aalborg Waterfront
suburb of Nørresundby have become a major administrative centre, thanks in
part to the offices of the Region Nordjylland established in the east of the
city.[19] In addition to large industrial companies including Aalborg Portland,
the only cement-producing company in the country,[25] and the building products company Eternit, many small
and medium-sized enterprises have been established. The telecommunications and information technology sector
has developed with the support of Aalborg University and the North Jutland knowledge park NOVI.[26]
The First European Conference on Sustainable Cities and Towns took place in Aalborg in 1994. It adopted the
Aalborg Charter, which provides a framework for the delivery of local sustainable development and calls on local
authorities to engage in Local Agenda 21 processes.[27] The Fourth European Sustainable Cities and Towns
Conference, held in Aalborg in 2004, adopted the more binding Aalborg Commitments on local sustainable
development. The commitments have now been signed by 650 local authorities while over 2,500 have signed the
earlier Aalborg Charter.[28]
Geography
Aalborg is in North Jutland (northwestern Denmark), at
the narrowest point of the Limfjord,[29] a shallow sound
that separates North Jutlandic Island (Vendsyssel-Thy)
from the rest of the Jutland Peninsula and connects
Aalborg to the Kattegat about 35 kilometres (22 mi) to the
east. Aalborg is 118 km (73 mi) north of Aarhus, 82 km
(51 mi) north of Randers, and 64 km (40 mi) southwest of
Frederikshavn.[30] It is 414 km (257 mi) by Great Belt
Fixed Link to Copenhagen, 150 km (93 mi) by the
Frederikshavn-Göteborg ferry to Gothenburg in Sweden,
and 363 km (226 mi) by the Frederikshavn-Oslo ferry to
Oslo in Norway. View of Aalborg and the Limfjord from the west
The area close to the waterfront is low-lying, with an

elevation averaging about 5 metres (16 ft),[30] but there are many hills in and around city, some reaching over
60 m (200 ft).[31] Nørresundby, on the northern side of the sound, is also a hilly area.[31] Villages to the south of
Aalborg from west to east include Frejlev, Svenstrup, and Gistrup (which contains extensive woodland to the
south as well as a golf club). Klarup and Storvorde lie to the southeast along the 595 road,[30] which, flanking a
stretch of the Limfjord known as Langerak, leads to the town of Hals.[30] Nibe, with a harbour on the Limfjord, is
21 kilometres (13 mi) to the southwest, past the village of Frejlev. The Nibe Broads (Nibe Bredning) in the
Limfjord not only has the largest eelgrass belts in Danish waters but is an important sanctuary for thousands of
migratory birds.[32]
To the north of the city, villages include Vadum,
Aabybro, Vestbjerg, Sulsted, Tylstrup, Vodskov, and Hjallerup.[30] There
is an extensive plantation, Branths Plantage - Møgelbjerg, immediately
north of Vodskov.
The Himmerland region to the south still has a number of moors which
once formed a vast area of heathland extending 35 km (22 mi) to the
Rold Forest near Arden. Rebild Hills in the Rold Forest stretch over 425
acres (172 ha) of rolling heath country about 30 kilometres (19 mi) south
of Aalborg.[33] Lille Vildmose, to the southeast, is reported to be the
largest raised bog in north-western Europe.[34]
The city
The city centre, dating from the Middle Ages, lies on a series of clay Map showing location (as Ålborg) in
banks between the former streams of Vesterå and Lilleå, which used to Denmark
run into the sound. Despite effective drainage, the main streets,
including Algade, still run east to west while the side streets run north to
south. The Budolfi Church and the old town hall line Gammeltorv, the old market square. The main shopping
streets are Algade and Bispengade, the latter lying inbetween the modern Vesterbro thoroughfare and Nytorv
square. Østerågade, once the old harbor, is noted for its merchants' mansions.[26]
The city cemetery, the Kilden park and the modern art museum, Kunsten, are in the modern commercial and
administrative area around the railway station to the west. Beyond this, Hasseris has become a residential district
with a number of large villas and detached houses. The city's main development area is now to the east of the
centre although in addition to the university and new areas of housing, it still contains the shipping harbor,
Østhavnen, and the cement factory. The waterfront to the northeast of the centre is being transformed from a
harbour into a recreational area with the Utzon Center and Musikkens Hus.[26]
Egholm
Off the northwestern side of the city in the sound is the island of Egholm,
reached via ferry. The island, with a population of 55 as of 2013, covers an
area of 6.05 square kilometres (2.34 sq mi) and consists mainly of farmland
although there are still a few untilled areas of salt marshes and woodland.
Dikes have been built along the coastline to protect the island from
flooding.[35] The Kronborg Forest on the island, covering an area of 17
hectares (42 acres), was acquired by the municipal government in 1945.[35] A
restaurant in the vicinity was established in 1918 but rebuilt in 1946 following
Egholm
a fire.[35] To the west of Egholm is the smaller uninhabited Fruensholm,[36]
and there are also three small islands to the north.[30]
Lakes and chalk deposits
There are several man-made lakes nearby: Lindholm Kridtgrav lies to the northwest of Skanse Park on the
northern side of Limfjord, while Nordens Kridtgrav to the northwest of Mølleparken is on the southern side.[30]
The Aalborg area is one of three in Denmark where chalk deposits are found (the others being Møns Klint and
Stevns).[37] The largest quarry is at Rørdal in Øster Sundby (6 km (4 mi) to the east of the city centre), while
Vokslev (20 km (12 mi) to the west) has also provided chalk. Clay is also quarried in Østerådalen in the southern
outskirts, making the area ideal for cement production.[38]
Parks and green spaces

The 6.5 hectares (16 acres) Østre Anlæg park is one of the oldest in Aalborg, visited
by up to 175,000 people a year.[39] It was used as a dumping ground in the 1920s
before being cleaned up and made into a recreational area in the 1930s and
1940s.[39] It contains lawns, flowers, tall trees, bushes, and a lake, overlooked by
St. Mark's Church on the eastern side. Fifty-one species of bird have been recorded
in the park.[39]
Lindholm Fjordpark, to the south of the Lindholm's industrial park, forms part of
the green sector of the city known as 'Ryåkilen' along the coast of the sound,
covering roughly 50 hectares (120 acres).[40] Like Østre Anlæg, it once served as a
waste site with landfill, and a housing estate was built on its northeastern side.[40]
Its use as a landfill site was gradually discontinued in the 1990s, and in 1996,
extensive restoration work began.[40] Today it has woodlands and open areas with
grass and herbaceous vegetation, notably buckthorn.[40] It is also a habitat for
many species of migratory birds such as light-bellied brent geese, curlews, and
Kildeparken songbirds. The park is also used by the Nordjysk Windsurfing Club and has a six-
hole golf course.[40]
Aalborg has a number of additional civic parks and recreational facilities.

Among them are Kildeparken, which hosts the annual Aalborg Carnival,
Mølleparken, which contains a pond, statues, an outdoor exercise facility, and
a 2.5 kilometre (1.6 mi) jogging trail (within the trail lies the Lysløjpen, a 45-
metre [148 ft] gradient), Sohngårdsholmpark, a wooded area containing
trails for both walking/jogging and biking and a six-hole golf course (free to
the public), the Aalborg Open Air Swimming Pool, also free to the public,
Bundgårdsparken, and Lindholm Strandpark.[41]
The Aalborg Zoo was opened in 1935 and typically houses 1,300 animals from
A rollercoaster at Karolinelund
138 different species, including tigers, chimpanzees, zebra, elephants,
giraffes, penguins and polar bears.[42] It is one of the area's major tourist
attractions with over 300,000 visitors a year.[43] Within the zoo an African
savannah has been created where exotic animals are housed.[34]
Aalborg was home to an amusement park, Karolinelund, founded in 1946. In 2005, still owned by the founding
family, it was sold to an entrepreneur who resold it to the city the following year. When the park closed in 2010, it
was home to 17 attractions. Recently, the city has reopened the park to volunteers who wish to return it to
operating status. The park is once again open to the public as a leisure facility but without rides and
attractions.[44] The association, Platform4, a non-profit user-driven project-oriented venue that experiments with
technology (electronics) in combination with artistic genres is now located in the park. Volunteers frequently
arrange seminars, exhibitions, films, music concerts, and more which are open to the public.
Climate
Aalborg has a maritime climate, just above the humid continental climate classification.

Demographics
Aalborg was the largest city in Jutland until it was surpassed by Aarhus in the mid-19th century.[14] In 1672, it
had 4,181 inhabitants, growing slowly during the 18th century, with 4,425 in 1769, 4,866 in 1787 and 5,579 by
1801.[62] By 1845, there were 7,477 inhabitants, increasing to 10,069 by 1860. Dramatic growth began in the late
19th century, with an increase from 14,152 in 1880 to 31,457 in 1901.[62] By 1930, the population had grown to
59,091, although the figure was boosted by the merging of Nørre Tranders, Rørdal Fabriksby, Øster Sundby and
Øster Uttrup into Aalborg. In 1950, it reached 87,883, which grew to 100,587 by 1970.[62] There was a temporary
decline in population to 94,994 in 1976 but in 1981, following the incorporation of Nørresundby, it grew to
114,302.[62] The population has increased steadily since then; according to the census of 1 January 2009, Aalborg
had a total of 122,461 inhabitants,[63] 101,497 of them living in the city and 20,964 in the independent suburb of
Nørresundby. As of 2015, the city has a total of 132,578 inhabitants (110,495 in the city proper and 22,083 in
Nørresundby) [64] making it the fourth most populous in Denmark after Copenhagen, Aarhus and Odense.[65][63]
Statistics for 2016 showed there were 210,316 people living in the Municipality of Aalborg.[3]
Economy
Aalborg is North Jutland's major industrial and
commercial centre, exporting grain, cement, and
spirits.[66] Heavy industry was behind the city's prosperity
until fairly recently. Many of the factories have now closed,
to be replaced by developments in the knowledge-based
and green-energy sectors.[29] Mobile and wireless
communications industries have grown substantially since
the 1990s, as has rotor production for wind turbines.
In January 2011, there were some 9,200 enterprises in

Aalborg, employing around 109,000 people or
approximately 35% of the workforce of the Northern
Region. In the 2010s, the city is set on increasing its Industry in Aalborg on the Limfjord
participation in the global economy through both existing
companies and new entrants. Its efforts are focused on
four areas: energy and environment, information technology, health support systems and "Arctic business". The
latter covers trade with Greenland as the Port of Aalborg handles over 60% of all goods shipped to Greenland.
Four harbours dot the waterfront, Marina Fjordparken, Skudehavnen, Vestre Badehavn, and Østre Havn.
Tourism is also growing, with a considerable rise in the number of passengers at Aalborg Airport. Aalborg
Municipality has Denmark's second highest revenue from tourism and is the only municipality in the north of
Denmark where overnight stays are increasing.[67][68]
Major private companies
Telenor Denmark, part of the Norwegian Telenor telecommunications and

mobile phone company, has a workforce of about 1,100 in Aalborg, making it
one of the city's largest new employers.[69] Siemens Wind Power has rotor-
blade production and testing facilities in Aaborg. In 2012 and 2013, there
were additions in both areas. The new testing plant is the world's largest
research test centre for wind turbine technology.[70][71] In 2012, the company
shipped a record 570 wind turbine blades from the Port of Aalborg, mainly to
England and Ireland, up 45% on the previous year.[72]
Akvavit was a major export.
Aalborg was home to De Danske
Spritfabrikker or Danish Distillers (now
owned by the Norwegian company
Arcus), which produces numerous brands of akvavit, until 2014.[73] The
company is the world's largest akvavit producer and exporter.[74] Aalborg
Industries, the world's largest manufacturer of marine boilers, has been
established in Aalborg since the 1920s.[75] It has recently expanded into
floating production systems for the offshore market. Employing 2,600
people, in December 2010 it was acquired by the Swedish Alfa Laval, also a
specialist in the area.[76] Aalborg Portland, a subsidiary of the Italian The cement-carrier Cemisle at
Cementir since 2004,[77] was founded in 1889 with the support of FLSmidth. Aalborg Portland
Able to draw on the chalk deposits from Rørdal to the east of the city, it
rapidly became a major cement producer. Today it is the world's largest
supplier of white cement, which it exports around the globe.[78]
Facilities
Aalborg has a wide selection of shops and restaurants. In the city centre, there are both large department stores
and smaller speciality shops. One of the largest shopping malls in Denmark, the Aalborg Storcenter, is to the
south of the city in Skalborg. It has about 75 stores, including a large Bilka supermarket.[79] The city has over 300
restaurants,[80] catering in Danish, European and Asian dishes. Notable establishments include Fusion on the
waterfront,[81] Mortens Kro, run by celebrity chef Morten Nielsen, and Irish House, a pub in the 17th-century
Jens Olufsen's House.[82] While Aalborg is renowned for its alcohol and nightlife,[80] there are also a number of
coffee shops.[83]
Aalborg has 12 large hotels, most within walking distance of the city centre.[84] The Helnan Phønix Hotel is the
largest, occupying what was originally built as a lavish private residence in 1783 for a Danish brigadier.[85] It was
converted into a hotel in 1853, and in 2011 had 210 rooms, furnished with dark oak.[85] The Chagall was
established in the 1950s and has reproductions of Marc Chagall paintings in the rooms.[85] Radisson Blu Limfjord
Hotel, operated by the Radisson Hotels chain, contains 188 rooms and has the Italian restaurant Vero Gusto.[86]
The Park Hotel, opposite the railway station, was established in 1917.[85] Other hotels include Cabinn Aalborg,
Hotel Hvide Hus, Hotel Krogen and Prinsen Hotel. Several banks including Danske Bank, Forex, Jyske Bank,
Spar Nord and Nordea have branches in Aalborg.[87]
Landmarks
Despite its industrial background and the factories along its waterfront, the city has gained popularity for tourism
in recent years, offering a wide variety of attractions and historic buildings in addition to its museums, churches
and parks.[88] See the religion section for details on churches.
Historic buildings
Jens Bang's House (Danish: Jens Bangs Stenhus), on Østerågade near the old
town hall, is one of Denmark's best examples of 17th-century domestic
architecture. Built in 1624 by the Aalborg merchant Jens Bang in the Dutch
Renaissance style, the four-story sandstone building is noted for its rising
gables and sculpted auricular window decorations. For over 300 years, it has
housed the city's oldest pharmacy.[89]
Jørgen Olufsen's House (Jørgen Olufsens

Gård) on Østerågade is Denmark's best
preserved merchant's mansion in the Aalborghus Castle
Renaissance style. Built mainly of
sandstone in 1616, it also has a half-
timbered section. The style is reminiscent
of similar buildings in the north of
Germany and in the Netherlands. Olufsen,
Jens Bang's half brother, was not only a
successful merchant but also mayor of
Jørgen Olufsen's House
Aalborg. When it was built, the residence
with its integrated warehouse was on the Old City Hall
Østerå, an inlet from the sound with access for barges. The old iron bar with a
hook for scales can be seen in the portico.[90][91]
Aalborghus Castle (Aalborghus Slot) is a half-timbered building with red-painted woodwork and whitewashed
wall panels. It was built in the mid-16th century by King Christian III for his vassals who collected taxes and is the
only remaining example of its kind in the country.[12] The park, dungeon and casemates, but not the castle itself,
are open to the public in the summer months.[92] In the 1950s, the castle was converted into administrative
offices.[10]
Aalborg's old city hall in Gammeltorv, in service until 1912, was built in 1762. It is now only used for ceremonial
and representative purposes. Designed in the Late Baroque style, the building with its black-glazed tile roof
consists of two storeys and a cellar. The yellow-washed façade is decorated with white pilasters and a frontispiece
featuring the Danish coat of arms and a bust of King Frederick V. His motto, Prudentia et Constantia, is also seen
above the main entrance.[93] The well-preserved door is an example of the Rococo style. The building was listed
by the Danish Heritage Agency in 1918.[94]
Another old building of note is the half-timbered Håndværkerhuset (at Kattesunded 20) from c. 1625, which
originally housed a number of warehouses. It is now used as a centre for arts and crafts.[95] Finally, the
headquarters of Danish Distillers (De Danske Spritfabrikker), to the west of the Limfjord Bridge, is noted for its
Neoclassical appearance. Completed in 1931 by the architect Alf Cock-Clausen, it combines functionality with
decorative classical symbolism. Considered a masterpiece of Danish factory design, it is now a Danish National
Heritage site.[11][96] When the factory closed in 2014, was the area bought by an investor, who will use the
buildings to create an international culture city with museums, theatres, apartments etc.
Other landmarks
Jomfru Ane Gade (literally Virgin Anne's Street) is one of the most famous streets in Aalborg if not in Denmark.
Popular for its cafés and restaurants during the day, it is even busier at night with its clubs, discos and bars.
During the 1990s, the street was infamously a 'hang out' of two biker gangs who were at war for some years all
over Scandinavia. As the bikers disappeared it became increasingly popular for people of all ages.[97][97] The
pedestrian hubs of Nytorv Square and John F. Kennedy Square in the central city area are also part of the
cityscape.
Aalborgtårnet is a tripod tower erected in 1933 with a restaurant on the top. The tower itself is 55 m (180 ft) high;
but as it stands on the top of the Skovbakken hill, it reaches a total height of 105 m (344.49 ft) above sea level,
providing a view over the sound and the city. Designed by Carlo Odgård, it was erected in 1933 in connection with
the North Jutland Fair.[98]
In 2008, the Utzon Center, its art, architecture and design credited to the noted
architect Jørn Utzon, is also dedicated to him.[34] It was built next to the
Limfjord at the central harbour front in Aalborg. Born in Copenhagen, Utzon
grew up in Aalborg. The centre contains an exhibition on Utzon's work, which
includes the Sydney Opera House, as well as educational displays on
architecture and design.[99] The centre consists of several individual buildings
creating a special place around a courtyard on a platform. The tall sculptural
Nytorv Square
roofs of the auditorium and the boat-hall, both on the harbour front, and the
library facing the park area and the city are set off by the lower roofs of the
exhibition and workshop areas inside the complex.[100]
Culture
The annual Aalborg Carnival usually takes place in the last weekend of May.[101]
It consists of three events: the children's carnival (Børnekarneval),[102] the
battle of carnival bands,[103] and the carnival proper. Attracting about 100,000 Utzon Center
visitors, it is the biggest carnival in Scandinavia and one of the largest in
northern Europe.[42] Hjallerup Market in Hjallerup, about 20 kilometres
(12 mi) northeast of Aalborg is one of the oldest and largest markets in Denmark and is the largest horse market
in Europe.[80] Held for three days in the beginning of June, it annually attracts more than 200,000 people and
1200 horses.[80]
In 1999 Aalborg was for the first time one of the four host ports in The Tall Ships Race (then Cutty Sark Tall Ships
Race) of that year. The city hosted the world's largest event for sailing vessels again in 2004 and 2010, and will do
so for the fourth time in less than two decades when The Tall Ships Races visits Aalborg in early August 2015.
Major venues
Aalborgs Kongres & Kultur Center, designed in a functional style by Otto

Frankild, was completed in 1952. The centre's main component, the Aalborg
Hall, can be divided into sections. The complex also contains a hotel,
restaurant, bowling alley, and a number of meeting rooms. The smaller
Europahallen was added in 1991, making the centre the largest in
Scandinavia.[104] With over 100 theatrical and musical presentations per
year, it offers international stars, opera, ballet, musicals, classical concerts,
productions for children as well as pop and rock concerts. It can
accommodate audiences of up to 2,500.[105] Aalborg Teater, built in 1878 and
Aalborg Carnival (2008)
subsequently modified by Julius Petersen, seats 870 in the main auditorium.
First privately owned, the theatre is now controlled and owned by the Danish
Ministry of Culture. While most productions are housed in the main hall, the
building can accommodate up to four shows at once in halls of varying sizes.[106] Over the years, the theatre has
produced a wide selection of drama and musicals.[107]
Nordkraft is a cultural centre in a former power plant near the harbour. It has theatres, a cinema, and concert
facilities. Kunsthal Nord, established in the centre in 2009, arranges up to five exhibitions a year of all forms of
contemporary art, especially of local origin but also from other parts of Denmark and beyond. It serves as the
exhibition centre for KunstVærket, the North Jutland centre for the arts, and also works in collaboration with the
modern art museum Kunsten designed by the Finnish architect Alvar Aalto.[108][109]
In the same neighbourhood, a huge concert hall, Musikkens Hus, designed by Coop Himmelb(l)au, opened in
2014. It is Aalborg's most ambitious construction project in recent years.[110]
The city also has a wide selection of galleries and arts and crafts outlets
operated by local artists. The Academy of Music also has a presence in
Aarhus.[34] There are several glass workshops; others produce jewelry,
sculptures or exhibit paintings.[111]
Museums
There are various museums in the city. The Aalborg Historical Museum was
established in 1863, making it one of the earliest provincial museums in the
Aalborg Teater
country.[112][113] The North Jutland Historical Museum conducted a series of
archaeological excavations in the 1950s at Lindholm Høje, revealing ancient
burial sites. In 1992, the Lindholm Høje Museum was opened there and
extended in 2008.[114] In 1994 and 1995, excavations at the site of the Greyfriars
Monastery resulted in the creation of the underground Gråbrødrekloster
Museum in the city centre.[115] Several organisations now collaborate under the
leadership of the North Jutland Historical Museum.[116] The Springeren -
Marine Experience Center is a marine museum on the city's wharf with a wide
range of exhibits including "Springeren", an old Danish submarine, whence its
name.[117][118] The Aalborg Defence and Garrison Museum documents Danish
defences during the Second World War as well as the history of Aaborg's
Lindholm Høje Museum
garrison since 1779.[119] The KUNSTEN Museum of Modern Art Aalborg was
built from 1958 to 1972;[120] the collection consists of around 1,500 art objects,
including paintings, sculptures and other media.[121]
Music
The Aalborg Symphony Orchestra (Aalborg Symfoniorkester) founded in 1943

presents about 150 concerts a year, frequently playing in the Musikkens Hus. It Museum of Modern Art and its
also plays for the Jutland opera company (Den Jyske Opera, also based in sculpture garden
Aalborg), and at the Royal Danish Theatre in Copenhagen. It is one of the main
organisers of the 10-day Aalborg Opera Festival held every March.[122][123]
Aalborg has the jazz club Jazzclub Satchmo and an annual jazz and blues festival (Den Blå Festival), also known
as the Mini New Orleans Festival. Over four days in mid-August, concerts are performed on squares, in the
streets, and in cafés and restaurants.[124] Since 2012, the Egholm Festival, a small music festival on the island of
Egholm near Aalborg has been organized in the first weekend of August.[125] It features relatively unknown
upcoming pop, rock and hip-hop artists. The festival has two stage areas and was organized by the Musical
Association Aalborg (MUSAM) and Aalborg Events.
Religion
Lutheranism
The principal religion in Aalborg as in the rest of Denmark is Christianity. Aalborg is the seat of a bishop within
the Lutheran State Church of Denmark. The cathedral of this bishopric is the Budolfi Church, originally built no
later than 1132 by Viborg's Bishop Eskil. This church was considerably smaller than the current one, as it was
merely a parish church. The existing structure was completed in the late 14th century, on the grounds of the
former church, and was listed for the first time in the Atlas of Denmark in 1399. The church was named after St
Botolph, an English abbot and saint.[126] The church is constructed in the Gothic style.[126] In 1554 Aalborg was
made a diocese and, after consideration, St Budolfi Church was made the seat of the Bishop of Aalborg. Aalborg is
also home to the former Catholic church, the Abbey of Our Lady, converted from a Benedictine nunnery.[127]
Churches
The present Budolfi Church, which has the status of a cathedral, dates from
the end of the 14th century, although at least two earlier churches stood on
the same spot. Built in the Gothic style, it consists of a nave flanked by two
aisles, a tower, and a porch. After the original tower was destroyed by fire in
1663, the striking new Baroque tower, based on that of an earlier Copenhagen
city hall, was completed in 1779. The church has 16th-century frescoes and an
intricately carved early Baroque altarpiece from 1689 created by Lauridtz
Jensen.[128]
Budolfi Church
Abbey of Our Lady (Vor Frue Kirke) was
designed in 1878 by J.E. Gnudtzmann in
the Neo-Romanesque style. The original Church of Our Lady from the early
12th century was pulled down after the Reformation because it was old and
unstable, but the 12th-century tower and the original portal with sculpted
decorations can still be seen. The carved pulpit dates to around 1581.[11][129]
As a result of the considerable population increase from the end of the 19th
century, a number of new churches were built in various styles. Next to
Aalborg Hall, Ansgar's Church with its tall tower was built in 1929 to a design
by Hother August Paludan in a modern Baroque style.[130] St Mark's Church
(Sankt Markus Kirke), completed in 1933, was designed by Einar Packness.
Its tower is crowned by an imposing spire. The Biblical figures known as the
Johannes Group (based on Christ's meeting with John the Baptist in
Matthew, Chapter 3) sculpted by Bertel Thorvaldsen are displayed around
the interior.[11][131] The Margrethe Church with its steeply sloping roof
reaching 22 m (72 ft) is the work of Carlo Odgaard and Aaby Sørensen. Bent Abbey of Our Lady (Vor Frue Kirke)
Exner designed some of the artefacts in the church including the crucifix over
the altar.[132]
Cemeteries
Aalborg's cemeteries have a history dating to the end of the Middle Ages. Sankt Jørgens Kirkegård (St George's
Cemetery) was on the corner of Hasserisgade and Kirkegårdsgade. The site was chosen in a district outside the
city as it provided isolation for those affected by the plague, many of whom died in the neighbouring hospice,
Sankt Jørgens Gårde. In 1794, a new cemetery was opened in Klostermarken, immediately to the south of Sankt
Jørgens Kirkegård. It was further extended in 1804, 1820 and 1870. It is now known as Aalborgs Almen
Kirkegård (meaning "common cemetery") and contains the graves of many of the city's most notable citizens.[133]
Judaism
Aalborg had a synagogue, built in 1854; and the Jewish rabbi Salomon Mielziner served it for 35 years.[134]
Services were no longer offered after Mielziner died, and in 1924 the synagogue was donated to the city
government, which began using it to store the city archives (Stadsarkivet).[134] It was burned down by the
Schalburg Corps in April 1945 towards the end of World War II, destroying its centuries-old Torahs.[134][135]
Anti-semitism continues to exist in Denmark, and in 1999, an unlicensed Nazi radio station began operating from
a neo-Nazi stronghold in Fynen, Nørresundby, within Aalborg municipality.[136] The activity has been widely
denounced with organized opposition in Aalborg and the rest of Denmark, and in February 1999, 12 anti-fascists
were arrested for possession of explosives at their base in Fynen.[136]
Education
The major university in Aalborg is the University of Aalborg, founded in

1974.[137] It has more than 17,000 students and more than 3,000
employees.[138] In 2012, 3,000 new students started at the university. In
1995 it merged with Esbjerg Engineering College.[137] The university has
attempted from the outset to "develop a more "relevant" form of
education than was then being offered by the established
Aalborg University universities".[139] It has sought to develop what is known as "contextual
knowledge", a form of problem-based learning based around the project
work conducted by students, rather than the curriculum focusing on
traditional academic disciplines.[139]
The University College of Northern Denmark is one of seven new regional organisations (professionshøjskoler) of
different study sites in Denmark offering courses normally at the bachelor level. The Royal School of Library and
Information Science (RSLIS) provides higher education in library and information science; one of its two
departments is in Aalborg. With about 4,500 students a year and 700 employees, Tech College Aalborg offers a
wide spectrum of vocational training and runs Aalborg Tekniske Gymnasium. Aalborg Business College provides
basic training in retail and trading for private enterprises and the public sector, with courses which cover
information technology, economics, sales and communication, and languages.[140]
The island of Egholm contains the former Egholm Skole, which was closed in 1972 when a ferry service to Aalborg
was established and children on the island began attending the Vesterkæret Skole in Aalborg. Today the old
school on Egholm is run as a school camp by the City of Aalborg, with 18 beds and facilities for 60 people.[35]
Skipper Clement International School is a private school for children between 6 and 16. The international
department conducts its classes in English, the first to be established in the Jutland peninsula,[141] but it does
have department which educates in Danish, like the public schools in Denmark.
Sport
The city is home to Aalborg BK, established in 1885 and known as "AaB" for short. The club has won the Danish
championship (Superliga) four times in recent years (1995, 1999, 2008, 2014). The team qualified for the group
stages of the 1995–96 and 2008–09 UEFA Champions League seasons. Aalborg Chang is a Danish amateur
association football club, previously known as FC Nordjylland.
Aalborg is also known for the women's handball club Aalborg DH, and the
men's handball club Aalborg Håndbold. Established in 2001 and 2011,
respectively, they both play their games in the Gigantium.[142] Rugby in
Aalborg is represented by Aalborg RK Lynet (Lightning), established in 1964.
The city also has the Aalborg Cricket Club, which is part of the Danish Cricket
League.[143] They were established in 2000 and have players from various
nations.[144][145]
Aalborg Tennisklub is located along the Kastetvej road in the centre of

The Gigantium
Aalborg. About 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) to the southwest of the city, near the
hamlet of Restrup Enge, is Aalborg Golf Klub.[146] Aalborg Golf Klub is the
second oldest golf club in Denmark, and was originally established in 1908 in the eastern part of Aalborg. In 1929
it moved to Sohngaardsholm, but 30 years later the course had to again move because of developments with the
university.[147] The present course to the southwest of Aalborg was designed in 1968 by Graham Lockey and
Commander John Harris as a 9-hole course, later expanded to 18 holes in 1976 and 27 in 2006.[147] In 2010 the
club hosted the European Girls Team Golf Championships.[147] Another course, Ørnehoj Golfklub, is at the
southeastern limits of the city, in the village of Gistrup.[148]
On 11 September 1977, Aalborg hosted the Final of the Long Track World Championship for Motorcycle
speedway. The Final was won by Swedish rider Anders Michanek. He defeated West Germany's Hans Seigl and
Denmark's own speedway hero Ole Olsen.
Transport
On the north side of the Limfjord is Nørresundby, connected to Aalborg by the
Limfjordsbroen road bridge, which was inaugurated in 1933, replacing a
pontoon bridge which dated to 1865. The iron Limfjord Railway Bridge,
inaugurated in 1938, is a nine-span bascule bridge. It opens 4,000 times a year,
allowing around 10,000 vessels to sail under it.[149] Opening in 1969 as the first
motorway tunnel to be built in Denmark,[150] the Limfjord Tunnel[151] is 582 m
(1,909 ft) long and has three lanes in each direction. It forms part of the E45,
stretching from Alta, Norway, to Gela, Italy.[152]
Limfjordsbroen
Aalborg Airport is 6 kilometres (3.7 mi) northwest of the city centre. With its
two runways, it has 20 direct routes to destinations in Denmark, Norway,
Ireland,[153] the Netherlands, the UK, Spain, and Turkey, along with seasonal
flights to additional Spanish destinations and the Faroe Islands. Processing 1.4
million passengers a year, the airport is the third largest in Denmark.[154] The
Aalborg Air Base, an important Danish Air Force facility, occupies part of the
extensive airport area.[155] The Port of Aalborg is northern Denmark’s main
import/export hub,[156] operated by Aalborg Havn A/S on the Limfjord. Two
Aalborg railway station additional private harbours serve the cement factory, Aalborg Portland A/S, and
the power station, Vattenfall A/S.[157]
The city's main train station, Aalborg Railway Station, is on John F.

Kennedys Plads. It opened in 1869, when the Aalborg to Randers railway was
inaugurated. The original station building was designed by N.P.C. Holsøe
while the present building, which opened in 1902, was designed by Thomas
Arboe. Aalborg Railway Station is operated by Banedanmark and DSB.[158]
Other rail stations in Aalborg are Skalborg Station, Aalborg Vestby Station
and Lindholm Station. There are regular bus services covering the inner city A cruise ship in Port of Aalborg
as well as the wider urban area.[159]
Cycling is also relatively popular in Aalborg. Statistics for 2012 indicate 44% of the population use their bicycles
several times a week while 27% of the workforce cycle to work. The municipal authorities hope to increase the use
of bicycles by providing better cycle tracks and parking facilities, as well as improved support services.[160] City
bikes are provided free of charge in Aalborg and Nørresundby from April to November with numerous stands
throughout the area.[161] There are plans to build a light rail system to serve Aalborg, similar to Odense Letbane
and Aarhus Letbane.
Healthcare
Aalborg University Hospital, the largest in the north of Jutland, was founded
in 1881. As of 2013, it consists of two large buildings in Aalborg, the hospital
in Dronninglund and smaller departments in Hobro and Hjørring. It is the
largest employer in the area with around 6,500 on the payroll.[162] The
hospital has traditionally undertaken research but from the beginning of
2013 it has had a formal collaboration with Aalborg University.[163] A new
building, designed by schmidt hammer lassen architects and to be completed
by 2020, will provide 134,000 m2 (1,440,000 sq ft) for hospital buildings and
17,000 m2 (180,000 sq ft) for the university's Faculty of Health.[164] The Aalborg University Hospital, south
section
Aalborg University Hospital, section south, is on Hobrovej and has a 24-hour
emergency ward.[29] The northern section is in Reberbanegade, which is in
the western part of the city centre. Trænregimentet, the Danish regiment for
army supply and emergency medical personnel, is also in Aalborg.[165]
Media
Nordjyske Stiftstidende, published in Aalborg, is Denmark's second oldest newspaper founded in 1767 as Nyttige
og fornøyelige Jydske Efterretninger. It was later known as Aalborg Stiftstidende (until 1999). In 1827, it
merged with Aalborg's second newspaper Aalborgs Stifts Adresse-Avis. The paper now serves the whole of
Vendsyssel and most of Himmerland and has local editions in Aalborg, Hjørring, Hobro, Frederikshavn,
Fjerritslev, and Skagen and Brønderslev.[166]
ANR (also Aalborg Nærradio and Alle Nordjyders Radio) is a local radio station operated by Nordjyske Medier,
owner of Nordjyske Stiftstidende. The TV news channel, 24Nordjyske, is operated by the same firm.[167]
International relations
Twin towns – sister cities
Aalborg maintains cultural, economic and educational ties with 34 cities around the globe,[168][169] more than any
other city in Denmark.[170] Every four years Aalborg gathers young people from most of its twin cities for a week
of sports, known as Ungdomslegene (Youth Games).[170]

Notable people
Among those who contributed to Aalborg's prosperity in the 19th century were Poul Pagh (1796–1870) who
significantly developed trade and shipping, and Christen Winther Obel (1800-1860) who increased production at
the C.W. Obel tobacco factory until it became the city's main employer. Another important figure of the times was
Marie Rée (1835-1900) who ran the local newspaper Aalborg Stiftstidende until 1900, often promoting women's
rights.[172]
More recently, the actor and script-writer Preben Kaas (1930–1981), who was born in Aalborg, starred in over 50
Danish films.[173] Among the city's many sporting figures, Peter Gade (born 1976) stands out as one of the world's
most successful badminton players.[174]
On the cultural side, Jørn Utzon (1918–2008), designer of the Sydney Opera House, grew up in Aalborg; the
iconic Utzon Center which he inspired now serves as a museum for his architectural designs and offers courses of
study based on his approach.[175]
