Industrial Heritage in Denmark

Edited By Caspar Jørgensen And Morten Pedersen

Description

In presenting 25 industrial sites of national significance in the context of changing techno-economic paradigms, this book considers the development of Danish industrial landscapes and built-up environments in the period 1840-1970.
Three case studies of ports, sugar mills, and cement plants are also presented. The book concludes with two chapters that discuss perceptions and strategies for the conversion of industrial sites, and an overview is given covering the preservation of industrial heritage in Denmark, historically.
"Although Denmark is often perceived as an agricultural country, industry is a very important sector in the Danish economy, employing a large number of people and having considerable influence on Danish society and culture in general. The appreciation of industrial history, as well as the tangible and intangible remains of industry, is an important heritage."
Anne Mette Rahbæk
General Director of the Danish Agency of Culture

The Danish Agency for Culture works strategically to present and develop Danish arts and culture internationally, to further the cultural exchange be tween Denmark and other countries, and to strengthen Danish arts and culture through internationalization. At the same time, the goal of the Agency is to ensure that the cultural heritage that is being protected will also become and remain of great significance to the majority of people. One of the prerequisites for international understanding and cooperation is knowledge. This book, therefore, is a contribution to knowledge about one part of Denmark’s history. Even though, with good reason, Denmark is often perceived as an agricultural country, industry is also a very important sector in the Danish economy, employing as it does a large number of people and having an appreciable influence on the Danish society in general. In 2007, as a result of a special commitment to set focus on industrial soci ety’s history and heritage, the Danish Agency for Culture elected 25 industrial monuments of national importance. Together, the 25 industries provide a com plete picture of industrialization and of Denmark’s transition from an agricul tural to an industrial society over the last 150 years. It is the first time such an overview has been carried out in Denmark with its point of departure in the buildings − the physical traces that can be seen in the landscape, while includ ing at the same time the intangible culture. The initiative has parallels in our neighboring countries. In Denmark, just as internationally, there has been for some years – and continues to be – a growing interest in industrial heritage and an understanding of the need for increased research and overview. With this book the Danish Agency for Culture aims to present to an English speaking readership some of the results of our undertaking. The book consists of a presentation of the history of industry’s buildings and the 25 national in dustrial monuments, along with some of the results from the studies which the Agency has supported, in addition to reflections on the preservation of the industrial heritage.
