The land of 7 senses – a chequered history also has its good points: Tønder’s eight centuries of history have been marked by German and Danish epochs, a fact that has shaped both the people and progress here. Living harmoniously side-by-side in the border region has created many friendships and connections – Germans have always lived in TØNDERregio. There are high levels of comprehension and understanding – both linguistically and culturally, making life in TØNDERregio great for Danes and Germans alike.
In the land of 7 senses, it is normal, and in Tønder's tradition, for Danish and German nurseries, schools, libraries and associations to be optimally connected – a German-speaking daily newspaper from Denmark reports up-to-date news and provides a good insight into Danish life. Anyone who crosses the border to make the area their home quickly adopts Denmark’'s good traits – while also retaining TØNDERregio's sense of German culture.  |
Live like the Danish:
a sense of German culture
"The land of 7 senses is a bilingual place: the Tønder region is a perfect example of successful co-existence. After all, where else is the German-Danish history so alive in everyday life as in TØNDERregio? My personal experiences as a Dane who spent several years living in Germany confirm that there are no boundaries to how well we get on!"
