Danish royal couple inspires with the first visit to Schleswig-Holstein

The Danish royal couple Frederik X. and Mary completed his first official visit in Schleswig-Holstein on Tuesday. After a warm welcome from the state government in Kiel, where King Frederik emphasized the special connection between Denmark and Schleswig-Holstein, the Royals continued their visit with a symbolic groundbreaking ceremony for the new construction of the Danevirke Museum. It is a historical defense system that is part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The meeting with representatives of the Danish minority in Flensburg was particularly impressive, where the couple was greeted friendly by the spectators at every stop. Many onlookers waved the Danish flag and presented flowers and children's drawings. Despite a shortened program at the Danewerk, the two monarchs remained open and human -friendly, which made a lasting impression among those present. The visit not only marks a symbolism of friendship between the countries, but also a piece of history, since Frederik X. is now entering his mother's footsteps as king.
