Silkeborg and Vejle shared the spoilsČTK / imago sportfotodienst / Gonzales Photo/Morten KjaerNone of the teams in the relegation playoff managed to secure vital wins on Sunday when Lyngby-Viborg and Silkeborg-Vejle ended in draws. Silkeborg - VejleSilkeborg had the better of the opening stages of their game against Vejle The home side often managed to find space to escape Vejle’s pressing game and took a deserved lead after nine minutes when Callum McCowatt stole possession in midfield and delivered a finely-tuned through ball for leading goalscorer Tonni Adamsen who scored with a cool finish and restored parity after 36 minutes when Anders Jacobsen delivered a perfect pass on a counter-attack for Dimitrios Emmanouilidis who provided a clinical finish past Silkeborg-keeper Nicolai Larsen While the first half offered end-to-end action for the crowd in Silkeborg the second half turned into a more tactical affair where both sides seemed more keen on preserving at least one point than going for the win Silkeborg did manage to score just before the final whistle when Alexander Simmelhack volleyed home a perfect cross from Julius Nielsen Anosike Ementa and Lauge Sandgrav battle for the ballČTK / imago sportfotodienst / Gonzales Photo/Rune MathiesenLyngby - ViborgThe importance of the game was quite evident in Lyngby’s game against Viborg in a match rich on man-to-man action but with fairly few chances in the first half Viborg did, however, have opportunities to pull ahead, when Isak Jensen barely missed the target after ten minutes and Renato Júnior wasted a glorious chance, when he came face with Lyngby-keeper Jonathan Aegidius, following a superb delivery from Thomas Jorgensen but couldn’t find the target. Viborg dominated the first 15 minutes of the second half where they continued the promising display that set up the big chance for Renato Júnior at the end of the first half. However, after Viborg-coach Jakob Poulsen replaced Isak Jensen, Srđan Kuzmić and Justin Lonwijk with Charly Nouck, Asker Beck og Jean Manuel Mbom, the visitors lost their grip on the game. Lyngby looked more dangerous towards the end of the game and 10 minutes from time Saevar Magnússon came closest to breaking the deadlock with a long-range effort but the match ended goalless.  Predicted lineups are available for the match a few days in advance while the actual lineup will be available about an hour ahead of the match.

Contact  .  Donation The finds were made at Løsning Søndermark during the expansion of the E45 motorway The discovery includes nearly 200 weapons and items that would have equipped a small army The arsenal comprises 119 lances and spears and a rare chainmail shirt—one of only 14 ever found in Denmark and the first recovered from a settlement rather than a burial site Other notable artifacts include fragments of two bronze “oath rings,” symbols of power and influence in the Nordic Iron Age an archaeologist from the Vejle Museums who led the excavation we knew this was going to be extraordinary but the excavation has exceeded all our expectations The sheer number of weapons is astonishing but what fascinates me most is the glimpse they provide into the societal structure and daily life of the Iron Age We suddenly feel very close to the people who lived here 1,500 years ago.” The artifacts were deliberately buried within two houses in the settlement One deposit was made during the construction of a house with weapons packed around its load-bearing posts while the other was made during a house’s demolition with weapons placed in the empty postholes These practices suggest the offerings were part of ceremonial or sacrificial rituals linked to the residence of a powerful chieftain rather than items from a workshop or barracks Archaeologists believe the weapons were likely spoils of war as such practices of collecting and sacrificing war booty were common during the South Scandinavian Iron Age further analysis will determine whether the items were locally produced or acquired from defeated enemies an expensive and labor-intensive piece of armor underscores the chieftain’s elite status Such a garment was typically reserved for high-ranking warriors or leaders and its sacrifice would have been a significant display of wealth and power the chainmail and other items bear symbolic value such as those from the nearby Vindelev Hoard which feature figures holding rings as symbols of authority typically found in bogs or funerary contexts this discovery provides a rare glimpse into life within a settlement The site’s unique nature adds valuable context to the understanding of social and military structures in Denmark during the waning days of the Roman Empire The excavation leader Thomasen remarked on this broader significance: “The finds allow us to connect the dots between daily life This site is a key to understanding the resilience and influence of Iron Age societies on the northern edge of the Roman Empire.” including their origins and

purely decorative Archaeologists with the Vejle Museums have unearthed a 1,600-year-old weapon offering a chainmail as well as two fragments of a Roman helmet Elias Witte Thomasen uncovering the massive weapon offering at the site of Løsning Søndermark “During the examination of one of the largest weapon deposits — offered in a posthole of a house — two unusual iron plates were unearthed both roughly the size of a palm,” Vejle Museums archaeologist Elias Witte Thomasen and colleagues said in a statement conservators and archaeologists were able to see beneath the thick layers of rust surrounding the objects.” “The results revealed an extremely rare find — the remains of a Roman helmet.” this find is the only known Roman helmet ever found in Denmark and the earliest iron helmet found in the country “The two plates consist of a neck plate and a decorated cheek plate from a so-called crest helmet a type used in the Roman Empire in the 4th century CE,” the researchers said “Roman helmet finds from the Iron Age are exceptionally rare in southern Scandinavia and there are no direct parallels to this discovery.” “The few similar finds come from Thorsbjerg Moor in Schleswig or from southern Sweden and Gotland-none from Denmark.” X-ray image of neck and cheek guard from the Roman helmet The discovery raises a significant question: why were only the neck plate and one cheek plate discovered “The answer lies in the nature of post-battle rituals during this period of the Iron Age where weapons and military equipment were rarely deposited intact,” Dr “Spearheads were separated from their shafts and equipment was destroyed and divided among the parties involved in the conflict.” “The missing cheek plate and helmet bowl were likely distributed elsewhere.” “The helmet may have belonged to a Germanic warlord who served in the Roman auxiliaries bringing his personal equipment home after his service ended,” he said it could have been looted from a Roman legionary in battles closer to the Empire’s Germanic frontier and later brought to Jutland.” “Both on its own and in relation to the broader deposition of weapons and military gear at the site the helmet provides valuable insights into the military elite of the Iron Age and their connections to the powerful southern neighbor — the Roman Empire.” Log in and download the free e-publication of the

But apart from that, he has only played 15 minutes in the away match against Viborg Duin's injury comes at a bad time as Vejle, who are bottom of the Danish Superliga, are desperate in need of firepower up front as leading goalscorer German Onugkha, who has otherwise scored eight goals in eight matches, has failed to find the net in the last two fixtures. Vejle are six points behind Sonderjyske and AaB at the bottom of the league. The next task is on Thursday against Viborg at home.

It has been important to me that we have created a model that makes talented people want to come together to create a new sporting development in VB", says Eskildsen in a press release. The change in ownership is not a big surprise. There have been several rumors of an imminent sale, and recently the rumors have increased.

they were carefully buried within two houses weapons were placed in postholes when the structure was dismantled they were packed around roof-bearing posts before the house was even completed Such placements hint at an offering tied to the residence of a powerful local chieftain possibly to secure divine favour or commemorate a military victory The already extraordinary find became even more remarkable with the identification of two iron plates discovered in a posthole X-ray analysis revealed that they belonged to a Roman crest helmet from the 4th century This marks the first time a Roman helmet has been found in Denmark Roman helmets are exceptionally rare in southern Scandinavia with the closest parallels found in Thorsbjerg Moor in Schleswig and parts of Sweden The find raises intriguing questions: How did a Roman helmet end up in Jutland bringing his personal equipment home after his service ended it could have been looted from a Roman legionary in battles closer to the empire’s Germanic frontier and later brought to Jutland.” the helmet was deliberately destroyed before being deposited Only a decorated cheek plate and a neck plate survived This aligns with known post-battle rituals in the Iron Age where weapons were systematically dismantled before being sacrificed the excavation uncovered fragments of at least two bronze neck rings resembling those seen in the Vindelev Hoard and other depictions of Iron Age rulers associated with rulers and warriors who swore loyalty to their leaders indicates that the site was home to an elite warrior class with connections beyond Denmark—possibly even to the Roman Empire The Løsning Søndermark site was continuously inhabited for nearly 500 years home to influential individuals who commanded warriors and participated in military campaigns The vast number of weapons uncovered provides tangible evidence of such conflicts archaeologists hope to determine whether the weapons belonged to local warriors or were taken as war booty from defeated enemies The latter would align with known South Scandinavian practices where war spoils were often ritually deposited in wetlands This discovery has already drawn international attention briefly putting the small Jutland town of Løsning in the global spotlight Starting February 8th parts of the weapon deposit will be displayed at the Vejle Cultural Museum this find promises to shed new light on the military and religious dynamics of Iron Age Scandinavia highlighting the region’s deep ties to the wider European world For updates on the findings and their significance, visit vejlemuseerne.dk Top Image: Sword and other weapons – Photo: Vejle Museums We've created a Patreon for Medievalists.net as we want to transition to a more community-funded model We aim to be the leading content provider about all things medieval podcast and Youtube page offers news and resources about the Middle Ages We hope that are our audience wants to support us so that we can further develop our podcast and remove the advertising on our platforms This will also allow our fans to get more involved in what content we do produce Member Login We use cookies to give you the best experience on our website Danish rider beats Arnaud De Lie into second and Søren Kragh Andersen into third All three riders were part of a seven-rider break which formed early in the stage.

to a struggling Vejle The hosts have taken five points from their first three matches of the season and are in sixth place at present while the visitors are bottom of the table and yet to get off the mark After a slightly sluggish start to the season that saw them draw the opening two league matches Midtjylland seem to have hit their stride over the last two weeks and enter this contest following three consecutive wins in all competitions The most recent of those victories came in midweek when they secured a vital 2-0 lead in the first leg of their Champions League third qualifying round tie against Hungarian league champions Ferencvaros Midweek's victory also marked the Wolves' third consecutive match without conceding following a 1-0 win over Andorran outfit UE Santa Coloma and a 2-0 win over AaB Aalborg at this venue last weekend Thomas Thomasberg's side have now won all three of their home matches this season extending their unbeaten record at MCH Arena to seven in a row Midtjylland won the last meeting between these sides 3-0 last season and have been the dominant side in this contest in recent years winning five and drawing one of the last six encounters Velje spent a large chunk of last season flirting with relegation but managed to avoid the drop with an excellent playoff round where they managed five wins and a draw in their final 10 matches they have begun the 2023-24 campaign in the worst way possible losing their first three league games in a row making them the only team in the division yet to manage a point this season In contrast to last term when they had the third-best defensive record of 36 goals conceded in 32 matches De Rode have already let in six this season which is the most of any side in the top flight over the first three gameweeks Ivan Prelec's side won only one of their 11 away games during the entire regular season last term and have never beaten their upcoming opponents in the Superliga competition at this venue Midtjylland will remain without the services of Paulinho, Gue-sung Cho and Marrony all of whom are suffering from knee injuries and are only expected to return to first-team action later this month With one eye on the trip to Hungary in midweek, Thomasberg may consider handing starting roles to Franculino and Adam Gabriel as he did in last weekend's victory over Aab Vejle have just one injury absentee expected for this weekend's matchup in the form of defender Thomas Gundelund who has not featured as yet this season but is expected to return to training in the next few weeks German Onugkha netted a brace in the visitors' opening match of the season and should continue to lead the line, while Miiko Albornoz will be hoping to return to the starting 11 after missing out in the last match FC Midtjylland possible starting lineup:Olafsson; Gabriel Vejle possible starting lineup:Vekic; Van Bruggen After a couple of underwhelming performances in the opening weeks of the season Midtjylland are now in full flow and will be brimming with confidence after their midweek win over Ferencvaros The Wolves have dominated this fixture in recent seasons and we feel they will secure all three points in this one For data analysis of the most likely results, scorelines and more for this match please click here Brondby will play host to Vejle at the Brondby Stadion in matchday two of the Danish Superliga on Monday with both teams seeking their first victory of the season The hosts narrowly missed out on the title last year finishing one point behind champions FC Midtjylland while the visitors secured their survival with a third-place finish in the post-split relegation group Brondby were unable to get near the trophy in the following two campaigns finishing fourth in 2021-22 and fifth in 2022-23 The boys from Vestegnen finally mounted a challenge for the Superliga title last season but they ultimately fell short as the Wolves came out on top Jesper Sorensen would have been hoping for a strong pre-season to build upon as they once again go in search of the league title but Brondby managed just one win and suffered two losses in their four friendlies The boys from Vestegnen failed to deliver once again in their Danish Superliga opener managing only a dramatic 3-3 draw against Viborg FF with goals coming in the 92nd minute to equalise and then levelling the score in the 98th minute during a chaotic added time Sorensen's men did produce a convincing win in their Europa Conference League second qualification round first leg against KF Llapi during midweek securing a commanding 6-0 victory to take into the second leg a result that should boost their confidence heading into their next matches enter this game having secured their place in the top flight for a second consecutive season last year climbing from a second-to-last finish in the regular season to third place in the relegation playoffs A key factor in Vejle's post-split success was striker German Onugkha who scored eight times in nine relegation playoff matches to end the season with 15 goals and he has continued his strong form into the new term with two goals in the opening fixture last week Despite his two goals, Ivan Prelec's side were unable to take any points away from that match against Randers FC conceding in the 92nd minute to lose the game 3-2 after initially equalising in the 87th minute Prelec will now be aiming to secure Vejle's first victory of the year against Brondby but they have not won a competitive meeting between the two since 2009 although they did beat the hosts 2-0 in a friendly late last month The hosts are set to remain without the services of four players for this game as Frederik Ibsen, Kevin Mensah, Marko Divkovic and Nicolai Vallys continue their stay on the sidelines Following a resounding 6-0 victory over Llapi, Sørensen might opt to name the same starting eleven for this match, with all three forward players - Ohi Omoijuanfo, Filip Bundgaard and Yuito Suzuki - particularly likely to start after each scored in that game As for the visitors, Marius Elvius is set to remain absent as he serves a suspension following a straight red card in the final fixture of the last campaign Thomas Gundelund is also expected to be unavailable for this one as the midfielder continues his recovery from an injury he sustained at the end of the past season, leaving Luka Hujber likely to start in his place Brondby possible starting lineup:Pentz; Klaiber Vejle possible starting lineup:Vekic; Kolinger While Brondby have faced difficulties in recent fixtures, a 6-0 win in their last outing should give them plenty of confidence coming into this one, and we expect the hosts to pick up their first three points of the 2024-25 campaign.For data analysis of the most likely results, scorelines and more for this match please click here Just three weeks after leaving the bustling metropolis of Singapore June Wee-Grant and her husband signed on the dotted line and bought a house in Vejle June decided to commit to her new city with her heart and soul including taking part in an activity she never dreamt of trying but has become completely addicted to The lights in the candlesticks are pastel-coloured the sofas are creamy white and the lamps on the windowsills are from the Danish designer You don't need to have stayed very long in June's home to feel her enthusiasm for the bright Scandinavian interior-design look “We sold all our furniture when we moved from Singapore who has by no means forgotten her Asian roots Small Buddha figures and other knick-knacks let you know where she comes from She also asks guests to take off their shoes before entering the living room are citizens of the world with a capital W while Andy is South African with roots in Scotland where they lived when Andy was offered his dream job at LEGO Was it ‘Wejle’ or ‘Vej-Lee’?!” she says with a loud laugh June and Andy briefly considered moving to Billund to be close to Andy’s new workplace but Vejle’s size and nature made their decision easy Their first impressions of the city fortunately matched their wishes for a new adventure: “We went for a walk in the area and suddenly we were standing in front of Vejle Windmill it was like it was taken out of a history book with the old buildings Everything was so ‘cute’,” she says emphatically She then lays the little dog on the light oak table and buries her hands in his caramel-coloured fur The joy they had for their new city quickly led to June and Andy’s next move They scoured the real-estate websites in search of good houses for sale they bought the very first house they looked at white detached house in the neighbourhood near the city hospital and it’s close to the forests where we take lots of walks and are always discovering new things We both knew we needed a different pace in our lives who still wonders at the absence of traffic noise which was part of her everyday life in Singapore When June packed her suitcase in Singapore she thought about how she would become a Dane and a ‘Vejlenser’ She set herself a goal of embracing her new life and building her network by being open to new acquaintances adding that she signed up for a yoga class and got chatting with one of the women also introduced her to an activity that in June’s head sounded completely bizarre: winter bathing June immersed herself in the cold waters of the fjord before retreating to the sauna that she’d booked along with the other winter bathers And sitting in the sauna afterwards without clothes felt fine ‘Did you really sit naked in the sauna?’ They think I’m very brave,” June laughs “And now I’ve become completely addicted to winter bathing Five steps from June’s terrace door lies the extension with her furnished workspace helping people with different challenges in life June is also in the process of contacting other coaches in Vejle with whom she can create events and collaborate It’s important for her to meet new people and form new connections “I just want to put down roots here and meet more people I’m so grateful for all the experiences we enjoy here in Vejle,” laughs June with a sparkle in her eyes June also keeps in touch with her friends from Singapore and around the world online and opens her doors to anyone who decides to pay her a visit June and Andy were visited by Andy’s parents from Scotland There’s a little bit of everything.’ I can only agree with him I usually say that Vejle is pure rehab for big city folk with all the space and lovely nature Translated by Tony Langford (Influentsy ApS) Looking to pick up their first points of the 2024-25 campaign, lowly-ranked Vejle will host Nordsjaelland at Vejle Stadion for a Danish Superliga clash on Monday night The Reds have failed to earn a result during their first two contests whilst the Tigers have enjoyed an unbeaten start to their quest for top-flight supremacy Following back-to-back wins over Brondby and Fredericia respectively at the conclusion of their pre-season schedule Vejle have been unable to take that positive momentum from the friendly clashes into the competitive action losing consecutive matches at the start of the Superliga term After coming out on the wrong side of a five-goal thriller with Randers on the opening weekend, the Reds travelled to the aforementioned Brondby with points on the line last Monday, when goals from Mathias Kvistgaarden and Sebastian Sebulonsen secured maximum points for the hosts Making the net ripple last time out, Greek winger Dimitrios Emmanouilidis has enjoyed a positive start to the Superliga term individually and will be looking to better his tally of nine goals across all competitions from the 2022-23 campaign Heading into their first match of August, Vejle are currently occupying bottom spot in the Danish Superliga standings with Monday's hosts the only side in the 12-team division yet to earn any points in 2024-25 The Reds' danger man this season is undoubtedly Russian striker German Onugkha who managed 15 goals in 31 Superliga appearances during 2023-24 with Vejle's next top goalscorer only finding the net on three occasions in the league After missing out on third place and subsequent qualification for the Conference League playoff by just a single point to Danish giants Copenhagen last season Nordsjaelland are aiming to go one better this term and reach the continental stage by this time next year The Tigers are one of five sides who are yet to taste defeat in the top flight, with Monday's visitors to Vejle collecting four points from their opening two fixtures, leaving them in fifth position only two points behind early pacesetters Randers at the very summit of the standings It was a battle of the brace-scoring attackers during Nordsjaelland's most recent fixture on July 27, when two from Conrad Harder were cancelled out by a double from Oliver Sorensen of Midtjylland to force both teams to settle for a share of the spoils Following the departure of Johannes Hoff Thorup to Championship outfit Norwich City, the Tigers appointed Jens Fonsskov Olsen as their new head coach with the 49-year-old now tasked with taking his troops towards the club's second-ever Superliga title Vejle remain without the services of Thomas Gundelund who picked up an injury at the end of May and has failed to feature so far this summer As a result, Luka Hujber is set to start on the right flank for the Reds once again despite a challenging start to the season as part of the hosts' XI Picking up a knock whilst on international duty in June with Burkina Faso, Nordsjaelland's Adamo Nagalo is a doubt for Monday night's trip to Vejle Despite goalscorer Harder stealing the headlines last time out, the likes of Marcus Ingvartsen and Oliver Antman are impressing massively and providing plenty of threat from the flanks After a gruelling pre-season schedule, it appears as if youngster Lucas Hey has cemented himself as a first-choice centre-back alongside captain Kian Hansen Nordsjaelland possible starting lineup:A Hansen; Ankersen Vejle's tricky run of fixtures at the beginning of the new campaign continues on Monday night when we feel that the Reds could slump to a third straight defeat Nordsjaelland have commenced their quest for the Superliga title in prolific fashion and there is no reason why that trend cannot carry on at Vejle Stadion.For data analysis of the most likely results, scorelines and more for this match please click here Both aiming to become the early pacesetters at the front of the league standings, Vejle and Randers will lock horns for a match on the opening weekend of the Danish Superliga season The Reds will be keen to put on an exceptional show for their passionate home support whilst the Horses will strive to correct their troubles on the road from last term After 22 matches of the 2023-24 Superliga campaign Vejle were sitting second bottom of the league standings four points behind 10th-placed Randers and looking set for a return to the second tier of Danish football a major revival in the post-season split allowed the Reds to preserve their top-table spot for another 12 months at least with Sunday's hosts eventually finishing ninth in the 12-team division A major factor in Vejle's success during the latter stages of the term was 28-year-old striker German Onugkha who made the net ripple on 15 occasions in the league last term to fire his men to safety Taking charge of his third full campaign at the Reds, Ivan Prelec will be hoping to lead his troops towards the upper echelons of the Superliga and potentially within striking distance of the European spots Due to their placement of seventh in the final standings of last term's Superliga Randers were rewarded with the chance to qualify for the preliminary stages of the revamped Conference League but the Horses were unable to book their spot on the continental stage A daunting trip to the Danish capital to face Copenhagen stood between Sunday's visitors and UEFA competition, with a 2-1 defeat because of strikes from Orri Oskarsson and Mohamed Elyounoussi allowing Jacob Neestrup's side passage into the Conference League Focusing on Superliga matches, Randers will be striving for Danish glory without the services of last season's Golden Boot winner at the club, with Mohammed Fuseini securing a summer switch to Belgian outfit Union SG To say that the Horses have the upper hand of the recent meetings between the two sides is an understatement with Randers looking to extend their unbeaten run against Vejle to 11 matches this weekend After picking up a red card in the match versus Randers at the end of last season, Marius Elvius is unavailable for the campaign opener on Sunday The Reds' options on the right flank are limited by the absence of Thomas Gundelund who is recovering from an injury sustained in late May Just four days after his move from French club Reims, Mohamed Toure could make his debut for Randers in the Superliga at Vejle on Sunday afternoon The Horses have a new goalkeeper in their ranks ahead of the fresh term, with Australian Paul Izzo looking to challenge Oskar Snorre for the spot in between the sticks Randers possible starting lineup:Izzo; Olsen Following the disappointment of missing out on a Conference League spot Randers should be raring to record a positive start to the Superliga campaign this time around Vejle have a poor record against Sunday's visitors, and we expect that trend to continue as the 2024-25 commences this weekend.For data analysis of the most likely results, scorelines and more for this match please click here 2021 – New York City FC today announced that the Club has acquired left back Malte Amundsen from Danish club Vejle BK pending the receipt of a P-1 visa and International Transfer Certificate (ITC).  The defender will occupy an international roster slot.  Amundsen said: “It’s a wonderful feeling for me and I’m very happy to sign with NYCFC I know it is a big Club and MLS is a very good league and I know NYCFC has been one of the winningest teams in the league over the past few seasons Hopefully now we can go on and achieve something bigger than what’s been done so far.  I spoke with him and the way he wants to play fits my style I can’t wait to meet the fans once we’re able to be with them I know New York is the greatest city in the world and I look forward to experiencing all that it has but I’ve come here to play football and win a trophy for this Club and our fans.”  The 23-year-old defender has appeared in over 100 professional matches since making his debut for HB Køge as a 17-year-old He featured for Køge during a preseason friendly against NYCFC in 2016 His performances in Denmark caught the eye of Norwegian champions Rosenborg BK who signed him as a 19-year-old in 2018.  After making his debut for Rosenborg in the domestic cup the Dane then joined German club Eintracht Braunschweig on loan before returning to his homeland with Vejle where he helped guide the side back to the Danish Superliga for the 2020-2021 season.  Amundsen played in Vejle’s first 14 matches this campaign before completing his transfer to New York City.  said: “Malte is the type of left back we were looking for in this transfer window He is a very good 1 v 1 defender and likes to get stuck into tackles and he will give everything he has for all 90 minutes Modern full backs must be able to attack and Malte likes to get forward and provide service into the box We’re looking forward to getting him into preseason with us I know he’ll fight every day to make this team and himself better.” Amundsen represented Denmark across multiple youth international age groups including in the UEFA Euro U-19 Championship qualifiers He also becomes the first Danish player to represent New York City FC.  said: “We’re pleased to have Malte join us ahead of the 2021 season There was a need at left back and we prioritized getting competition in at that position he has already played a lot of professional matches and is entering his peak with room to further develop here in New York he brings a balanced set of defensive and attacking qualities that fit the style of football we want to play he possesses great character and will be a welcomed addition to our locker room We’ll continue to add to our roster as we approach the beginning of preseason and having Malte signed is an exciting first step.”  Everyone at the Club welcomes Malte to NYCFC.  Name: Malte Amundsen (audio pronunciation) Position: DefenderHeight: 5’10”Weight: 179Date of Birth: February 11 Denmark Last Club: Vejle BKHow Acquired: Signed on permanent transfer from Vejle BK (Denmark) by Olafur Eliasson and Studio Olafur Eliasson in Vejle by Olafur Eliasson installed at the Fjordenhus The ground floor of the Fjordenhus in Vejle ‘I was happy to reference the industrial history of silos and energy containers but the circle also has this idea of the meeting space and the parliament – the circle being a shared space,’ says Olafur Eliasson of the design ‘Each of the three (Kirk) brothers have their own spheres and then there is a sphere in the middle that connects them.’ The Kirk family wanted a building that would celebrate the Vejle fjord the seasons and the ephemeral quality of the water They also wanted the building to play a leading part of the revitalisation of the Vejle docklands The first job for Olafur Eliasson Studio was to design a masterplan for the dockland area an artificial piece of land built 200 years ago for industry of the Jutlands The team decided to take the Fjordenhus off the land and into the water Building on the water in Denmark is nothing new to a country with 7000 km of coastline yet the choice was also part of the celebration of the qualities of the water The ground floor opens up a honeycomb of brick arches and voids The geometry of the architecture balances an inner circle with an outer elipse to create a feeling of ‘tilting’ and ‘leaning’ offering a ‘constant negotiation’ between space and visitor It provides multiple options and eliminates the neo-classical agenda of Panopticism says Eliasson who explains that the experience goes beyond phenomenology ‘We need these non-prescriptive spaces. It’s not actually empty, it’s full of opportunity. We need to dare to claim it and say this is nobody’s space. If you go to Brazil every street corner has a multiplicity of activities; the Italian piazzas used to be these meeting points for the community kids going to school – I like this idea of a street parliament Denmark being so unbelievably socially robust there are no street parliaments – it’s a longer discussion and one I don’t have the answer to.’ escapism and design stories from around the world direct to your inbox the intriguing form of the Fjordenhus will no doubt draw architecturally curious Eliasson fans down into Vejle for a stroll Thus the building also plays the role of a cultural lighthouse you will see the detailing of the brick-work the buildings’ most beautiful feature Eliasson describes the brickwork as ‘expressionistic’ where ‘hidden murals’ swell and disappear into the walls He wanted the brickwork to express how it was made by human hands and he hopes that eventually a seed with find its way onto a ledge to soften the form with some nature the team formed the colour scheme and patterns of the bricks working with Peterson brick contractors for the work Glazed green bricks are scattered close to the base of the building while higher up glossy blue-glazed bricks connect the building to the sky The Fjordenhus was an opportunity for Eliasson to bring together the knowledge and experience of his studio – the processes of making researching materials and collaborating with a trusted network of technicians and engineers worked closely with Eliasson on the project and has been working with him since 2001 now holding the position of head of the department of design Behmann jokes that this is Studio Olafur Eliasson’s first as the pair have co-founded Studio Other Spaces to take on further architectural commissions Eliasson has the ability to approach architecture a unique way – perhaps favouring form over function while an architect may prickle at the very sound of this approach Eliasson makes some eloquent and necessary statements about the environment public space and beauty with his Fjordenhus and he certainly knows how to harness an atmosphere journalist and editor covering architecture with particular interest in sustainability After studying History of Art at the School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS) and Journalism at City University in London she developed her interest in architecture working at Wallpaper* magazine and today contributes to Wallpaper*, The World of Interiors and Icon magazine She is author of The Sustainable City (2022 a book about sustainable architecture in London a map of 20th-century architecture in Cambridge Best in Travel is here! Discover 2025’s destinations The 30 best countries, cities and regions to visit in 2025 Plan your trip with Elsewhere, by Lonely Planet See where a Lonely Planet Membership takes you Subscribe to our weekly newsletters to get the latest travel news, expert advice, and insider recommendations Explore the world with our detailed, insightful guidebooks Stay ahead of the curve with our guidebooks Uncover exciting new ways to explore iconic destinations Every month, we release new books into the wild Search Search Close search menu Explore Best in Travel 2024 Africa Close menu Countries Antarctica Antarctica Close menu Regions Asia Asia Close menu Countries Australia & the Pacific Australia & the Pacific Close menu Countries The Caribbean The Caribbean Close menu Countries Central America Central America Close menu Countries Europe Europe Close menu Countries Middle East Middle East Close menu Countries North America North America Close menu Countries South America South America Close menu Countries Henning Larsen Architects' landmark development Bølgen ('The Wave') Travellers are flocking to Denmark in record numbers, but many don’t stray beyond Copenhagen to experience the Nordic country’s charming small towns. Consider Vejle – an unassuming former port city conveniently located about 30 minutes from Legoland in Billund and less than 2½ hours from the capital Spend a few hours wandering Vejle’s streets and you’ll find that it’s a microcosm of what Denmark is best known for: innovative art and design dazzling architecture and a varied culinary scene that includes everything from affordable food markets to fine dining The train drops visitors in the middle of Vejle’s charming downtown where you can wander the 900m-long pedestrian street lined with shops the Romanesque and Gothic red-brick St Nicolai Church built in the 13th century and restored several times since Walk another five minutes to encounter another red-brick treasure It faces the town’s main square and the bell announces the time as it did when it was in a medieval monastery on the site Try this: Why Odense, Denmark, should be on your 2020 travel list a woman from the 5th century who likely died in a religious sacrifice and whose naturally preserved body had previously been on display in St Nicolai Church Some of the city’s best works of art in Vejle are found outside – they're almost everywhere you look. Quirky animal sculptures – such as a horse standing in the middle of a serpent-shaped fountain – are scattered downtown. And, for the past four years, the city has hosted a Floating Art exhibition in July in which large-scale contemporary sculptures sit on the surface of the water At the other end of town, you’ll find a lively patio behind a bright yellow 18th-century building that was once a merchant house and now houses No. 14 Vinbar, a tapas and wine bar.

The building is designed by Arkitema Architects as part of a Public-Private Partnership, where the PPP team designs, build and run the building. The idea of the hospital was to create a visionary mental health hospital with 91 beds, children’s ambulatory, psychiatric ER and ECT. The background for the project is a regional focus on outpatient treatment. Thus, the new hospital supports treatment of patients with intensive and complex behavioral conditions which require hospitalization. Floor PlansA primary design focus has been on a visionary healthcare design which encourages physical activity and minimalizes forceful intervention. During the design process, the focus was to create the best possible surroundings for patients as well as employees. This is done by ensuring ample light throughout the building, easy access to nature and outdoor spaces, transparent wards with easy overviews, and a well thought layout. © Niels NygaardIn the layout extroverted functions such as ER reception and children’s psychiatry are located as inviting units upon arrival, while wards are withdrawn within the building. The enclosed First-floor links administration and discreet patient transport in a ring structure which expresses a spatial division and forms a clear hierarchical façade. © Niels NygaardGreen access and plenty of lightThe hospital is gently placed at the bottom of a forest covered hillside. The plan layout is made up of smaller square masonry building units that twist from another, which makes room for prolonging the surrounding nature into the spaces between the buildings. The building breaks down the scale, merge with the landscape and thereby match the surroundings. © Niels NygaardVejle Psychiatric Hospital is run by the Region of Southern Denmark and built in cooperation with the PPP-company formed by Sampension where the region has committed to using the facilities in the following 25 years You'll now receive updates based on what you follow Personalize your stream and start following your favorite authors If you have done all of this and still can't find the email Eight nations will battle for regional glory from Wednesday when the Wheelchair Rugby European Championship Division A take off in Vejle Tokyo 2020 Paralympic implications add extra pressure for the teams as the top two not otherwise qualified punch their tickets to next year’s Games Great Britain enter as favourites having moved to No.4 in the world rankings The two-time defending champions will have to see off a vastly improved French side while host Denmark will have plenty of crowd support Will the host nation qualify for the Paralympic Games for the first time in its wheelchair rugby history the Danes will be more determined than ever Danish head coach Jason Regier added more depth since his time in charge The power of a home crowd advantage should never be underestimated and expect Denmark to be in contention for the medals The big improver of wheelchair rugby in Europe France will be expecting to finish in the top two After winning the Metro Cup in Poland in July against a number of teams contesting the European Championship the French side will be full of confidence France produced its best performance at the World Championship last year when they placed fifth and have since become the second-ranked European team behind Great Britain It has been 10 years since Germany were on the podium at the European Championships But this year’s squad will give it the best possible chance to return to the medals The Germans reached the Metro Cup final in Warsaw Poland last month and narrowly went down against France Germany had their equal lowest finish at a European Championship with sixth in 2017 The most successful team in the tournament’s history will look to make it three straight gold medals Great Britain won the European title six times and reached the podium at every edition since it began in 1995 Great Britain have had strong preparation after beating the world’s top-ranked teams USA and Japan at the Four Nations in Birmingham They are going for their seventh European title They may be the lowest-ranked team at the tournament But they should not be overlooked in Vejle Arguably the biggest win in the nation’s wheelchair rugby history came against Canada at the 2018 World Championship in Sydney Poland eventually finished the tournament ninth They have a well-balanced line-up at their disposal with seven players classified at 2.0 allowing plenty of flexibility Sweden is behind Great Britain for the most gold medals won at a Europeans Despite not being in outstanding form in the lead-up Sweden always seem to find a way to lift for the big tournaments They have broken Denmark’s heart in the semi-finals in the past two editions of the tournament to reach the gold medal match The Swiss team returns to the European Championship for the first time since 2013 It has been a long climb back to the top tier of European wheelchair rugby the group is the strongest it has been in some time More information on the 2019 Wheelchair Rugby European Championships is available on the event website The Organising Committee of the 2022 Wheelchair Rugby World Championship has announced the schedule for the tournament to follow on the results of the draw, held in July.

Reda Haouam captained the Netherlands to victory at the Division B European Championships "The other upside of us being this youthful created a really cool and the bond translates to the court as well” When he looked back at the journey to the 2019 wheelchair rugby European Championships the Netherlands’ Reda Haouam recalled memorable emotions “I was extremely proud and happy of what we had achieved,” Haouam said referring to their golden victory at the 2018 Division B edition “Witnessing our team develop from when we started in late 2015 I was impressed with how composed and controlled we played in the final (52-46 win against Switzerland) The Netherlands will end an eight-year drought since its last appearance at a Division A European Championship on 7-11 August in Vejle the Dutch side had competed in the bi-annual event every time since the inaugural tournament in Sweden back in 1995 The Netherlands finished with the bronze medal on that occasion but have not been able to reach those heights since; they finished as the bottom-ranked side in both 2009 and 2011 They went unbeaten at the 2018 Division B Europeans in Lahti National team captain Haouam admitted the tournament victory was the side’s biggest moment of the past decade the semi-final win against Russia (56-52) was the one that really hit home for me emotionally - that moment we achieved our main goal of advancing to Division A after overcoming some adversity early in the game,” he said “I even teared up a little in the final seconds of the game.” Haouam believes there is a number of reasons behind the major turnaround for the Netherlands “I think it’s a combination of a shared vision of how we want to play and the fact that we have a young core of players that are very much in tune with each other,” he said “We spend a good amount of time with each other “This allows us to grow together and continually challenge each other to be better “Of the 11 players that are currently on our roster I’m the oldest member of the team - even our coach and staff are younger than me so we have the ability to create good habits early “The other upside of us being this youthful created a really cool and the bond translates to the court as well.” The Netherlands’ highest world ranking was No 10 after the 2006 World Championships and the goal for the team is to get back to that we need to make sure that we prolong our stay in Division A with a top-six finish,” Haouam said we all want to make a run at the Paralympic Games of 2020 whether through direct qualification or through the 2020 qualification tournament so we’ll be gunning for a top-four finish.” The Netherlands has a full schedule ahead with multiple practice tournaments and training camps in the coming months They will also contest the Metro Cup in Poland from 1-7 July Something is rotten in the state of Denmark Toxic waste and fertilisers from the agriculture sector are suffocating fish and plants making the country’s sea among the deadest in the world have done the unprecedented: They’ve held a funeral for Vejle Fjord a segment of Denmark's sea was laid to rest in a transparent glass coffin inviting citizens and politicians to witness the crisis of the depth Over a thousand 'relatives' gathered on Saturday in Vejle with the event being live broadcasted by the two biggest national TV broadcasters to the entire nation Over thousand relatives came to mourn the fjord (image credit: Michael Hedelain at Greenpeace) A National Conversation Sparked by a Death Notice The campaign ignited public debate two weeks before the event starting with a death notice for Vejle Fjord on the front page of national paper Politiken and several local dailies This bold move led to online debate and numerous media invitations and features including national TV and radio appearances allowing the team to amplify their message “We hope the funeral can help forge an emotional connection to the dying sea in Denmark It’s an elusive crisis because it happens beneath the surface is that life can return if there is mobilised political will and action So that’s ultimately what we hope to achieve by laying Vejle Fjord to rest in peace,” says the &Co The campaign utilised various elements to resonate with the public Alongside the specially designed glass coffin and death notice an obituary by renowned Danish author Carsten Jensen appeared in newspapers The death note was published in Politiken (translated to English) and organized heartfelt speeches and hymns by relatives at the funeral we saw a shift in the way the problem is talked about That observation sparked the creative idea Suddenly we could work with death as a phenomenon and use funeral rituals as campaign assets That gave us a lot of creative possibilities and inspiration,” explains the &Co A Timely Idea Aligning with Greenpeace’s Shift in Communication the idea was perfectly timed and aligned with the organisations shift in communication: “We have worked a lot with the local sea crisis and its link to Denmark’s intensive agriculture and were ideating on our next campaign and aimed to spotlight Denmark’s dead sea &Co.’s idea to carry out a real funeral for Vejle Fjord came like a gift from heaven To drive change and engage more people in the most pressing issues The funeral for Vejle Fjord embodies all these elements,” says Christian Fromberg the environmental organisation's campaign leader for agriculture A Political Pledge to Fight for Vejle Fjord The funeral campaign has garnered extensive attention across both Danish and international media Martin vowed to bring a jar filled with water from Vejle Fjord into every political negotiation around environment and agriculture moving forward Our weekly look at how West

with a well-taken finish and Malick Fofana levelled with eight minutes remaining.  Lille thought they had snatched victory when Diakite put them ahead three minutes later with his second of the night
