The Monument to Denmark's international activities after 1948 by artist Finn Reinbothe, at Kastellet, Copenhagen, Denmark


The Monument for Denmark’s International Effort Since 1948 by artist Finn Reinbothe was erected by the Danish people and inaugurated on Flag Day 5 September will find the monument in the Citadel of Copenhagen. Thus there is public access to the monument. It expresses the acknowledgment of the contributions made by thousands of deployed Danes in international missions since 1948. Three spaces: Finn Reinbothe’s monument consists of three spaces, defined by granite-covered walls with build-in lighting. One wall displays the inscription En tid – Et sted – Et menneske - translated into English: One time – One place – One human. Another space is for the currently deployed personnel – with an eternal flame and inscriptions with names of the conflict and catastrophe areas. The last one is a space of commemoration for the fallen Danish soldiers. Names of the fallen: One for the memory and reflection of the bereaved – with inscriptions of the names of the fallen. The first name of a fallen dates back to 1956 and the last one no less than a couple of months old, and probably with more to come.
