Everything about South Jutland totally explained
South Jutland is the name for the region south of the
Kongeå in
Jutland. The region north of the Kongeå is called
Nørrejylland (
Northern Jutland). Both territories had their own
ting assemblies in the
Middle Ages (in Viborg and Urnehoved). South Jutland is mentioned for the first time in the
Knýtlinga saga.
In the
13th century South Jutland became a
duchy. The first
duke was
Canute Lavard (
Knud Lavard). In the late
14th century it took the name of the
Duchy of Schleswig. The duchy was named after the city of
Schleswig (
Slesvig).
Following the
Schleswig Plebiscites in
1920, South Jutland was divided into
Northern and
Southern Schleswig. Northern Schleswig was also known as
South Jutland County (1970-2006) and is now part of the
Region South Denmark. Southern Schleswig is a part of the German
federal state Schleswig-Holstein.
Both parts cooperate today as a
Euroregion, which covers most of South Jutland.
