Roughly 800 couples have said “I do” so far this year in Aabenraa’s two centuries’-old town hall Aabenraa, a coastal Danish town with fewer than 17,000 inhabitants about half an hour’s drive from the German border, is not exactly a major tourist destination, yet the visitors it receives are surprisingly diverse. Many stay for just one or two nights, and come for the same reason: to get married. Dozens of couples arrive each week, and about 90% from abroad.

Denmark had long used "aa" to represent a Danish vowel sound that's a little elusive for English speakers but is kind of similar to the vowel in our word "caught." But in 1948 the country decided to reform its spelling replacing "aa" with "å," an "a" topped with a little circle That's how this vowel is written in every other Scandinavian language the Danish Language Board recommended that Aabenraa rename itself "Åbenrå." Aabenraa wasn't having it. For one thing, the town, like much of southern Denmark had a sizable German minority that thought the new spelling looked weird Denmark decided that their new letter "Å" would be the last letter of the alphabet coming after "Z" in the dictionary which was accustomed to being the world's very first town alphabetically was unenthusiastic about moving to the very bottom of the list overnight and giving up the lead to Aachen the country could start spelling its name "Qazaqstan" going forward I'm not holding my breath for that to "qatch" on up-to-the-minute voice in all things travel Condé Nast

she established ties with what became the art environment of the European avant-garde in the 1920s and 1930s and soon she was an equal colleague with them and with other world-famous artists such as Le Courbusier On behalf of the Foundation for Franciska Clausen's Collections Museum Sønderjylland houses more than 2,500 of Franciska Clausen's works in addition to the main works that are in the museum's own possession She preserved life through an experimental practice we offer the public the opportunity to experience a permanent presentation of Franciska Clausen's works We want to create

The cove was dammed in 1856 to make room for a growing town and Aabenraa still benefits from having a vibrant commercial port There will be a view of it from the new museum. The maritime history in Aabenraa is not the same as in the rest of the country because the town only became part of Denmark in 1920 During the wars with England in the early 1800s the city was not bound by the same restrictions as It was extremely lucrative for both shipyards Shipping and shipyards made Aabenraa a thriving town The city's streets contain well-preserved and beautiful environments and houses from the 18th and early 19th centuries that very few other Danish cities can match.The city's shipyards built large wooden ships that were among the largest The ships were owned locally and were manned by local and visiting sailors who made a living sailing on the oceans of the world The Visual Arts Council in Aabenraa Municipality is behind two maritime guides: one in Aabenraa City and one on Løjt Land Both can be picked up at the tourist office in Storegade 30 and can be found digitally here: MARITIME GUIDE TO LØJT LAND AND KALVØ the Royal Agent bought shipowner Jørgen Bruhn Kalvø at Genner Bay Here he built the shipyard that was to become one of the largest in Denmark Northern Europe's largest and fastest merchant frigate The association Det Maritime Kalvø runs a small museum in the shipyard's old main building "Herrehuset" you will learn more about how Bruhn's activities – in addition to lucrative and dangerous long voyages on the world's oceans – also included piracy and industrial espionage Take a journey through time through the history of Aabenraa on this audio walk that also takes you past works of art in the town The tour starts at Det Gamle Rådhus on Storegade 30 in Aabenraa and lasts approx 1.5 hours if you do the trip in one stretch Download the storyhunt app and search on Aabenraa Aabenraa KommuneSkelbækvej 26200 AabenraaTlf: 7376 7676Mail: post@aabenraa.dkCVR.nr.: 29189854 Apple has canceled plans to build a $921m data center in Aabenraa and instead will expand its soon-to-be-completed Viborg data center The 285-hectare site, originally purchased by the company in 2017 “As we near completion of our new Viborg data center in central Jutland we’ve decided to focus on growing that site instead of building an additional data center in Aabenraa,” Apple said in a statement In a post on its official website the Aabenraa Municipality called the decision "completely unexpected." Director Stig Isaksen wrote (translated): "It is my view that this is an overall strategic business decision made in the United States and that the decision has been taken entirely independently of the circumstances of the Aabenraa Municipality." Mayor Thomas Andresen added: "This is undoubtedly an undesirable bump on the way for Aabenraa Municipality's long-term efforts to create jobs and increased settlement out of the establishment of data centers in Aabenraa Municipality Apple is not the only player in that market and as our data center strategy clearly describes we have a targeted strategic effort aimed at two data centers in operation and two in planning in 2022." Google also owns 131 acres in the municipality but has no immediate plans to build a data center there Apple will instead focus on its Viborg facility, which is behind schedule. In April it was revealed that the company had fired the project's main contractor It is unclear what the current state of the data center is - although Apple did note in today's statement that they were nearing completion The company has suffered a rocky development path for its European data centers, spending years trying to build a facility in Galway, Ireland, before canceling the project after years of delays In addition to its own facilities, Apple uses AWS, Google Cloud, colocation facilities, and small cloud companies. Earlier this year, CNBC reported that the company had signed an agreement to spend at least $1.5 billion on AWS over the course of five years Data Centre Dynamics Ltd (DCD), 32-38 Saffron Hill, London, EC1N 8FH Email.

of the winning projects will be one of the world’s largest e-fuels facilities with an electrolyzer capacity of minimum 150MW This next-generation facility will be situated near Padborg in Aabenraa municipality in the southern part of Denmark close to European Energy’s e-methanol facility in Kassø which is currently under construction With the winning bid for an e-fuel facility in Padborg European Energy now starts developing a facility that is three times larger than the existing Kassø facility in the southern part of Denmark leading the way towards larger projects that can satisfy the rapidly increasing demand for e-fuels European Energy won bids for two other projects One being a second phase of the company’s green hydrogen project in Maade and the other being an expansion of the e-methanol facility in Kassø. This will add 9MW and 10MW of capacity to the projects for a total of 12 MW and 60 MW Also interesting: Hydrogen-based fuels can jeopardize climate protection European Energy has created a supply chain using biogenic CO2 and renewable energy sources to forge an integrated e-fuel supply chain European Energy is set to scale their expertise and consolidate their position in the field „Denmark’s bold stride to add 280 MW of new electrolyzer capacity within four years reflects our government’s commitment to transitioning from fossil fuels to sustainable alternatives in both transport and industry this move also intensifies the need for a robust hydrogen infrastructure and access to biogenic CO2 to further support a world-class Power-to-X industry in Denmark“ Executive Vice President and Head of Power-to-X in European Energy Did you miss that? Lhyfe and TES completely supply French industrial park with green hydrogen European Energy already plans to inaugurate the first of its large-scale commercial e-methanol facilities in 2024. The facility is in Kassø in the municipality of Aabenraa and it will produce more than 32,000 metric tonnes annually have already partnered as offtakers for the e-methanol The world’s largest e-methanol plant will not only produce green fuels but also supply green heat to the citizens of Aabenraa municipality European Energy has entered an agreement with Aabenraa Fjernvarme to supply excess heat from the e-methanol plant the plant will supply heat to 3,300 households European Energy has entered into an agreement with Aabenraa Fjernvarme to take the surplus heat from the future e-methanol plant at Kassø in Aabenraa Municipality This means that more climate-friendly and cheap district heating will enter heating network Even though the e-methanol plant’s primary focus will be to produce e-methanol it will during the process of converting hydrogen and carbon dioxide into e-methanol generate a lot of excess heat The surplus heat will be able to benefit the citizens of Aabenraa Municipality as it can be included as part of the heat supply in the municipality the plant has the potential to supply heat to 3,300 households „We are very happy with the agreement with Aabenraa Fjernvarme This collaboration shows the citizens of Aabenraa Municipality that there are local green benefits when renewable energy projects come to the local vicinity the collaboration will provide valuable knowledge on how we can get the most out of the world’s largest e-methanol plant and thus also show in practice how sector coupling can be made with other future Power-to-X projects“ Head of Project Economics & Optimization „We are very happy with this agreement that we have entered with European Energy The more surplus heat we can use in our district heating system rather than producing it ourselves When we can use resources that are left from other processes it is a win-win for everyone: for the climate The plant will also contribute important knowledge about how we integrate and operate this type of sector integration“ The e-methanol plant will be connected directly to the Nordics’ largest solar park in Kassø and will therefore partially run on locally produced green electricity The location of the facility means that Aabenraa Fjernvarme will establish a heating line to the facility close to the Kassø substation – The future pipeline is dimensioned in such a way that it is very easy for us to connect extra surplus heat to our district heating system from e.g data centers or the other heat sources from the PtX facility European Energy expects within a few years that even more surplus heat can be collected as more experience is gained in the operation of the facility Part of the funding for the integration between European Energy’s PtX plant and Aabenraa District Heating comes from Det sydjyske erhvervsfyrtårn which is a collaborative project where a number of organisations universities and the South Jutland municipalities have organized themselves into the ‘Committee for Green Energy and Sector Coupling’ The Danish Board for Business Promotion has awarded the Business Lighthouse EUR 14mllion from REACT-EU for 13 test and demonstration projects in Southern Jutland as well as educational initiatives with a focus on green energy and sector coupling Did you miss that? My-PV: Evaluation of housing project shows performance of power2heat Fyrtårn Syd has helped identify the district heating project as one of the promising examples of sector coupling – that is energy solutions that cut across the traditional energy sectors and link the different forms of energy more closely together „We are happy to have contributed to this project being realized and to be a pioneering project for others in the region on how to abolish silo thinking within the energy sector and thus develop the efficient and flexible energy solutions that we need in the green transition who is chairman of the Committee for Green Energy and Sector Coupling In addition to European Energy and Aabenraa Fjernvarme Aalborg University and the University of Southern Denmark are also participating in the development of the new district heating solution – The facility is connected directly to the solar park in Kassø and will produce green methanol for among other things Maersk’s first fossil free container ship – The green hydrogen is produced by splitting water through the supply of solar cell power in an electrolysis plant – The surplus heat from the production comes initially from the surplus from the process where Also interesting: Combined solar and wind park in Western Jutland on Sunday denounced an Islamophobic attack on a Turkish mosque in Denmark near the German border "We expect the activities of racist groups with an Islamophobic mentality to end and their perpetrators to be brought to justice as soon as possible," Ali Erbas said on Twitter Aabenraa Mosque suffered an attack when someone spray-painted anti-Muslim slurs on its walls told Anadolu Agency that when he arrived at the mosque around 11 a.m he noticed insulting writings about the holy book of Islam He said mosque officials reported the incident to the police and authorities opened an investigation and would examine surveillance cameras in the area Tokay condemned the attack and said the writings were erased and no other damage was detected to the mosque.
