German Minority in Denmark

The German Minority in Denmark refers to about 15,000 people, mainly living in Southern Jutland, who have German roots and language. This community has maintained its cultural identity, language, and traditions since the region became part of Denmark after border changes in 1920. They are recognized as a protected minority, with rights to use their language in schools, media, and official matters. The German Minority contributes to Denmark’s cultural diversity and generally enjoys good relations with the Danish majority, preserving their unique heritage while participating fully in Danish society.
