A roundtrip through Copenhagen’s harbour is a travel through Denmark’s history and national identity. The maritime main entrance of the city mirrors Danish values of all times: God, king and trading. The saga of Copenhagen oozes of it. From the earliest days of Absalon, the warrior bishop, who added a castle to the existing buildings, to the flourishing period when Danes cashed in big time off shipping trade, and up to recent days, when important people like Tietgen and Glückstadt put their mark on town and harbour. Apparently it’s a whole other story today, but only apparently. Mighty interests still control the appearance of Copenhagen. Stating this, Georg Metz does with a humoristic attitude.
