History and culture in Kolding
The history of Kolding can be traced back to the year 1231, when the city appears in writing in King Valdemar's book of land taxation.
Back then, Kolding was located in the outermost border area of Denmark and therefore the town had a strategic importance for former kings and queens.
The city developed into a thriving trades- and crafts city, which still characterizes Kolding today. Kolding is also known for design and architecture.
