Danish Minority in Germany

The Danish Minority in Germany refers to a group of people living mainly in the northern region of the country, particularly around the Schleswig area, who identify as ethnic Danes. They maintain their language, traditions, and culture while being citizens of Germany. The presence of this minority is recognized and protected by the German-Danish Border Treaty, which ensures their rights to preserve their heritage, practice their religion, and use their language in daily life and education. Their existence reflects a peaceful coexistence and historical ties between Denmark and Germany in this border region.
