The Danish minority of Schleswig whose Flensburg cultural heartland vitality and borderland bicultural identity richness made them the most gracefully integrated national minority in the entire history of the modern German-Danish frontier.
German Danes — the Danish-origin community of Schleswig-Holstein whose centuries-deep roots in the borderland between Germany and Denmark produced a people of remarkable cultural richness, their Danish language, Lutheran church traditions, and Nordic folk customs maintained with quiet determination in the villages and towns of southern Schleswig, where Danish schools, cultural associations, and the South Schleswig Voters' Association have sustained a minority community that stands as one of Europe's most admired examples of how a people can remain fully rooted in their ancestral culture while participating fully and loyally in the civic life of their country. The German Danes carry within them the heritage of a Nordic civilization of extraordinary achievement — the Viking seafarers who connected three continents, the Danish Golden Age of Thorvaldsen's sculpture and Andersen's fairy tales, and a Scandinavian democratic tradition whose emphasis on equality, community, and human dignity has made Denmark's social model one of the world's most studied and admired — bringing that inheritance into the heart of northern Germany and enriching the borderland they share with their German neighbors with a cultural generosity that makes the Schleswig border region not a line of division but a living demonstration of European coexistence at its finest.
