Ich interessiere mich sehr dafür, dass das kleine skandinavische Land Dänemark🇩🇰 eine Grenze zum größten EU-Land hat. Die Leute reden nicht viel darüber, weil Deutschland viel mehr Grenzen zu großen Ländern wie 🇳🇱🇫🇷🇵🇱🇧🇪🇦🇹 hat. Ich habe von einem Lehrer gehört, dass Dänisch wegen der Nähe so ähnlich wie Deutsch klingt.
Wie ist die Gesamtbeziehung zwischen Volk und Regierung? Seid ihr Brüder? Viel Handel und Einkaufen zwischen den Ländern? Haben Sie Verwandte, die in Dänemark leben, oder haben Sie einen dänischen Partner?

Good
im from south germany so idk but generally since the EU we are friends
We are friends.
german flag is cooler but they talk funny… friends and eu partners
Germany has a national minority of Danish speakers, who maintain their own traditions, language, culture, school and relationship to Denmark despite being in Germany. And the opposite is true in Denmark. The history and make up of Schleswig-Holstein and southern Jutland is very interesting, for such a small strip of land.
Germans love to spend holidays in Denmark;) at least I do.
Every weekend the Danes raid Lidl and Aldi stores in northern Germany for their cheap soft drinks.
Imo good. I sometimes have phone calls with people from denmark and the people and calls are always nice.
we know and like each other
Neighbors

There’s a minority party in Schleswig-Holstein named SSW. They have always 1 Seat in the Bundestag. They are not subject to 5-Percent threshold.
well, friendly neutral i’d say..? There’s nothing good or bad in particular i could think of, they are neighbours.
We are neighbours 🙂
We got a fence on the border though. It is supposed to keep boars on our side and protect their boars from the african boar plague. What a dumb idea, considering how smart pigs are.
Was to Denmark twice. I like them (:
My dad grew up in Schleswig, a region that’s switched back and forth between Danish and German control over several centuries through conflict and annexation. Because of the unique political history, many signs in the regions are quad lingual (German, Danish, Low German and North Frisian). Since my Father’s grandmother was Danish, 2 of my aunts were able to attend the Danish kindergarten in the town he grew up in and one of them lives in Denmark today. Even the political party that represents the Danish and Frisian minorities is exempt from the electorate threshold to maintain seats in the Landtag. In contrast to Denmark, Southern Jütland which was also under German control has a sizable (but much smaller) German minority.
I would otherwise assume that Denmark has a warm and cooperative diplomatic relationship with Germany.
If I remember right from a documentation. The German Danish border is one of the few borders which is voted by the people living in that area. Maybe it is even the only border in the world which is voted by the people (not 100% sure anymore)
Consentual.
I love visiting Denmark and hygge 🙈. Great handball envy though 🤪
They are friendly until they sit and drink together
I had a girlfriend from Bolivia. We went there to visit her family. One room was sublet to a Danish student.
My girlfriend’s bff had asked me to bring her a special brand of chocolate creme (similar to Nutella). We placed it in the fridge until we met her. She opened it — it was hollowed out. My gf and her friend thought I played a prank on them. But it was the Danish guy who had craved chocolate so much that he couldn’t resist and ate nearly all of it except a slim layer to make the robbery less obvious.
If you ever have a Danish roommate: get a lock for your fridge.
We’re neighbours in a good way. We care and send them to the right train section to Flensburg when they sit in the one to Kiel.
My brother used to live in Cairo for a while. He became friends with some Danish students. They bought a living crocodile (about 1m in length) and kept it on their balcony. It jumped to its death. Suicide can’t be ruled out.
If you have Danish neighbours: Don’t park your car under their balcony. It might be raining crocodiles.
Danish sounds nothing like German. They’re in different branches of the Germanic language family.
I can usually kind of make out the gist of a text written in Danish but I’m far from actually understanding it.
Danish is about as different from German as English is from German.
They shut down paper post, we run everything via paper post.
In the past the relationship was „complicated“. The danish minority wasn‘t even allowed to show the Dannebrog 🇩🇰.
Hence the minority bred a new pig race: the Husum protest pig, which had similarity to the danish flag from the color of its skin.
But after the Second World War the relationship became much better.
Can only speak about this as a German, I personally love the Danes and never had anything besides positive emotions on them. And I don’t know a single person who dislikes them.
Not sure how it is on the other side as we invaded them during WWII but I think from all countries Denmark was most likely the least impacted by German occupation because I do not know of cases where Germans encountered hostility by Danish people ever.
Danes are nice neighbors, as many already mentioned Holiday there is great (and If you get a couple of people together and rent a House surprisingly cheap…at least for rent) and you can have fun with the danish people … We Always came with a bottle of Schnaps
Northern German here, Danes are cool and I feel welcome whenever I visit Denmark.
In what universe does Danish sound like German?

As a German I really love our Danish neighbours. Very kind and nice people.
We kinda annexed parts of denmark as our 18th state (Mallorca as the 17th but don’t tell the spanischen and english). Great place for a holiday and doing nothing
Dane here, from Jutland, we love the Germans. Have to keep saving them when they swim into the North Sea, please be more careful dear neighbours.
The northernmost part of Germany, specifically Schleswig-Holstein, and the southernmost part of the Jutlandic part of Denmark historically form a single region called Schleswig. North Schleswig is now Danish, while South Schleswig belongs to Germany. There were armed conflicts over Schleswig between the German and Danish sides, culminating in the Second Schleswig War, one of Otto von Bismarck’s three wars of German unification. After the First World War, a plebiscite was held, the result of which is the current border. One can debate whether the division into voting zones with different rules was fair, but ultimately, it was a plebiscite that settled a border between two states. For its time, this was quite revolutionary. Nazi rule certainly did not foster sympathy for Germany in Denmark, but nevertheless, after the Second World War, the Copenhagen Treaties were signed, which effectively regulated the coexistence of the two nations and the treatment of their respective minorities on both sides of the border. One result of this is, for example, that the SSW, the party representing the Danish and Frisian minority in Schleswig-Holstein, is exempt from the 5% threshold in state elections and is therefore always represented in the state parliament. (The Bavarians can conveniently stay out of it!) They also always have a seat in the Bundestag. Similar regulations exist for the German minority on the Danish side. I think what’s crucial to understand is that Schleswig has always been a mixed German-Danish region, long before Europeans invented nation-states. At the time of what is known in Germany as the Schleswig-Holstein Uprising, the rural population was predominantly Danish-speaking (I believe it was Southern Jutlandic – Danes here can correct me if I’m wrong), while German was the predominant language in the cities. The Schleswig region (and to some extent Holstein) is a vivid example of how toxic nationalism can be. Of course, there are still die-hards on both sides of the border, but I truly believe that the coexistence in the border region serves as a model for all of Europe. Things have been handled really well over the last few decades, even if there’s always room for improvement. And as a German and a native of Schleswig-Holstein, I’m constantly reminded that Germany, being a large country, has far more influence and power than Denmark, which is relatively small in terms of population. A careful and sensitive approach to our neighbors is therefore always necessary. I’m proud to be part of this fascinating region. My family, like so many here, has Danish roots, and Danish families with their own schools and clubs were perfectly normal during my childhood. Incidentally, the Schleswig-Holstein state government currently has a Danish minister in its cabinet. Personally, I feel much closer to the Danes than to the Bavarians or the Austrians, even though the languages aren’t really very similar. Nevertheless, I would always describe myself as German. You simply have to love Europe.
I have been on vacation in Løkken quite often. I love the danish coastline, the friendly people and the cities that seem to be so much more liveable and hospitable than ours.
Also during the Euros the Danish fans were visiting my city for a game the next day. During Spains first game they flooded a beer garden and kept singing Viva España whenever Spain scored. I don’t know for sure why they collectively picked Spain to support but I think the sole reason was Spains jersey being red as well.
Watching that game was an absolute blast and made me like Danes even more
In Dänemark verbringe ich seit vielen Jahren gerne meinen Urlaub.
As a German. Yes Denmark exists
Some people dislike us because of World War II and because Prussia took Schleswig-Holstein from Denmark during the war, while others find us okay. What’s funny is that I, as someone from Schleswig-Holstein, have never met a Dane. 🤣
They pretend they like us during summer, and we thank them by digging holes in their beaches.
And we let them buy beer for cheap.
