Congratulations to the Bund Deutscher Nordschleswiger (BDN) with its 70th anniversary
23.11.2015Congratulations to the Bund Deutscher Nordschleswiger (BDN) - the umbrella organisation of the German minority in Denmark.
The German minority came into existence as the result of a plebiscite, which was held in 1920. After the Second World War, the Bund Deutscher Nordschleswiger was founded. BDN evolved into an important institution in today’s border region for the more than 15,000 members of the minority. Amongst other things it operates German kindergartens, schools, libraries, sport associations and runs an own newspaper.
FUEN President and former BDN chairman Hans Heinrich Hansen will participate in today’s celebrations and wishes the BDN all the best for its future.
