Fredericia ramparts walk

A little bit ahead you can see the ramparts facing the water, the eastern side

The eastern defence was not as strong as the land side defence. Invasion from the seaside could easily be done away with, I presume

The far building housed only soldiers. It was a barrac, but has not been aquired by the public

Monument for the so called reunion of the southern provinces with Denmark. These provinces were never Danish, only the Danish king played a role as a nobleman there, a nobleman under the German Kaiser. But 1920 after a referendum the Danish speaking part of these provinces became a part of the Danish Kingdom

The ramparts share the names of the royal family and the provinces mentioned by the previous photo, Schleswig and Holstein

You should be able to get up there, but you have to pick up a key at the library in town, so I heard. Didnt test it.

Most likely named after the son of Danish King Frederik III, who built up the ramparts after destruction during the Torstensons wars with Sweden. https://finnholbek.dk/getperson.php?personID=I2888&tree=2

Fredericia was populated with people with illeagal confessions, Jews, Huegenottes from Belgium and France, a kind of protestants following the teachings of Calvin. No lutherans. By giving the town the priviledge to house these people the king hoped to populate the town. Eventually he allowed murderers to settle in Federicia, so he must have been rather desperate.

although you may continue onto the last rampart acoss the street where 800 railworkers, who died in service, are commemorated.
