The
city of Aalborg is the fourth largest city in Denmark— after
Copenhagen, Aarhus and Odense. It is the location of Aalborg Air
Base, an important base of the Danish air force, and is the seat
of a Lutheran bishop. Railway
connects Aalborg with Hjørring, Frederikshavn, and Skagen to the
north, and with Aarhus and the lines from Germany to the south, as
well as to Copenhagen in the east over the island of Funen. The
harbour is good and safe, though fairly difficult to access. Aalborg
is a municipality (Danish, kommune) in North Jutland County
on the Jutland peninsula in northern Denmark. The municipality
straddles the Limfjord, the waterway which connects the North Sea
and the Kattegat east-to-west, and which separates the main body
of the Jutland peninsula from the island of Vendsyssel-Thy
north-to-south. It
is also the name of the municipality's main city and the site of
its municipal council, as well as the name of a seaport. The
municipality and the town have chosen to retain the traditional
spelling of the name as Aalborg, although the new spelling Ålborg
is used in other contexts, such as Ålborg Bay (Ålborg Bugt),
the body of water which lies to the east of the Jutland peninsula. The
municipality, which includes the island of Egholm, covers an area
of 560 km², and has a total population of 192,353 (2005). The
mayor of the municipality is Henning G. Jensen, a member of the
Social Democrats (Socialdemokraterne) political party. Neighboring
municipalities are Sejlflod and Hals to the east, Dronninglund and
Brønderslev to the north, Aabybro and Nibe to the west, and Støvring
and Skørping to the south. The waters splitting the municipality
are called Langerak to the east and Gjøl Bredning
to the west. The island of Egholm is located in Gjøl Bredning,
and is connected by ferry to the city of Aalborg at its southern
shore. By January 1, 2007 Aalborg municipality will, as the result of Kommunalreformen ("The Municipality Reform" of 2007), be merged with existing Hals, Nibe, and Sejlflod municipalities to form the new Aalborg municipality. This will create a municipality with an area of 1,171 km². The new municipality will belong to the new Region Nordjylland ("North Jutland Region"). By the Courtesy of Wikipedia |
