You are welcome to send s and other material to the editor for publication. The closing date for the June issue is 16 May We reserve the right to edit or not publish your contribution. Any material published does not necessarily reflect the opinion of the Danish Club or the Editor. Editor: Lone Schmidt Phone: Webmaster: Peter Wagner Hansen Phone: Skype: pete.at.thebathouse From the Editor The committee has had a busy time with many events in April. It was wonderful to see the interest in the Sunday smorgasbord, it makes all the hard work worthwhile. Last month I mentioned that the committee has many ideas for improvements and activities, but simply lacks the funding to move ahead. It s also of concern that the buildings on either side of the club are either for lease or sale. There s no doubt that Austin Street is in for a major change to residential in the coming years, already there are plans to build a residential tower on the Mazda block on Breakfast Creek Road and the businesses in the surrounding area are all moving out. The gas works precinct in Commercial Road will become a restaurant hub to serve the growing number of residents. It s exciting and I certainly hope that the club can remain an active part of the streetscape for many years to come. In March, we waved goodbye to Merete, our secretary, and we re now starting to feel the lack of committee members. Where are you? Come help your club do its best. WELCOME TO OUR NEW MEMBERS Monica & Jason Smith, Bulimba Kim Lotze & Lars Malmborg, Teneriffe Bruno Johansen, Toowong 21 April Prinsesse Isabella, Amalienborg 30 April Michael Schmidt, Daisy Hill 30 April Amanda Miller, Samford 4 May Prins Henrik, Schackenborg 26 May Kronprins Frederik, Amalienborg Christiansfeld the Square

8 Solar Power We had high hopes for receiving funding from the Gambling Community Benefit Fund to enable us to install solar power. Again we were disappointed, but the committee agreed that with our power bill the investment would be worthwhile and we re going to go ahead with the project. Brisbane City Council has been good to us and granted us $1,100 towards our rates and approx. $3,200 towards improving access for disabled with a new ramp and improved toilet facilities. Membership stands at 215 members. Events April has been a busy month with 2 concerts and the smorgasbord so far. Lise will look after the May Folkrag Old & New, Michael takes the Café and Iben will organise Teddy Bear s Birthday Party as usual. Beer, snaps and licorice The new shipment with julebryg and many other goodies including Toms Giant turtles and Anthon Berg marcipanbrød has arrived. Some delay due to additional checks by Australian Quarantine (random consignments are picked by the computer for checks), but the goodies will be ready for Café Danmark. Raffles Andy and Aase are doing great with the raffles and adding approx. $300 to the club s bank account every time. They also provide prizes and we ll try and encourage members to contribute. Scandinavian Festival 8 September 2013 Soren and Lone have held the first meeting with the presidents of the Norwegian and Swedish clubs and we re ready to go. New stalls and ideas are still welcome. Money The first nine months show a loss of approx. $41,000, which will deteriorate further with the installation of the solar power system. In the circumstances, the committee is satisfied with the current position. Committee members Merete, our secretary, has left the country and we need new committee members New Committee members The committee has been working all year on less than normal strength and now with Merete departing with husband Doug and their kids to a great opportunity with Maersk Oil and Gas in Esbjerg! we are another member short. So we need 2 or 3 people, who are willing to join the committee and be part of the team planning and executing the events we have at the club, and as we are growing in numbers, the need for extra muscle grows accordingly. We can also use the support from members able to participate on irregular basis. I have spoken with many members and all seem to have been on the committee at some stage and done their duty. Well, the age of the most mature member of the current volunteer team is 81, so evidently age is no barrier to participate and help in the kitchen, and if you are unable to commit to a committee position, what is stopping you from offering to help the committee at just 1 function per year? The whole basis for the pricing of our food and drink is based on volunteers supporting our functions, and I really believe that this also adds to the atmosphere in the club. We don t hire people from the street to prepare our food and clean our plates we do it ourselves as part of our community effort to keep Danish traditions and hygge alive and well. So whether you can spare some time on a Friday or Saturday night to help or if you would like to join the committee and participate in what is actually very interesting work shaping the future of the club, please contact me.

10 Christiansfeld Christiansfeld is a small town in Southern Jutland with a population of 2,863 (1 January 2012). The town is named after King Christian VII. It is special in that it is planned and built following the same pattern as the first Moravian town in Herrnhut in Germany. The town is one of 11 sites in Denmark listed on UNESCO s Tentative List of World Heritage sites and has in recent years been undergoing restoration of the town s original buildings. History At the request of cabinet minister Struensee, King Christian VII approached the Moravian Church in Herrnhut with a request to build a town in Denmark. The Herrnhuters were skilled craftsmen and traders who were needed in the country. Already the same year the Moravians bought Tyrstrup Farm which was previously crown land. Prior to the town being built the king had to give formal permission for the Moravians to settle within the country s borders. They demanded the right to function as a Moravian congregation. There was no religious freedom at this point, the Danish church was a state church and one could not just start a new church order. A decree was therefore issued giving the Moravians the right to be a Moravian congregation within the Danish borders and previous bans were lifted. The king also granted the congregation 10 years exemption from tax, and in the same period they received a state subsidy of 10% on building costs. No duty was payable on materials used in the town s manufacturing the first 10 years, they were allowed to sell the produced products in Denmark and Norway without being taxed, and they were even allowed to export items without paying duty. In 1864, Christiansfeld and Schleswig were ceded to Prussia as a result of Denmark's defeat in the Second Schleswig War. It remained a part of Germany until 1920 when Northern Schleswig voted to rejoin Denmark in a plebiscite called for by the Treaty of Versailles. After reunification, the Moravian church lost some of the rights it had originally obtained. The church also sold its schools at this time due to declining membership of its congregation. Town Plan The foundation stone for the town s first building, the meeting hall, was laid in Most of the town was built between 1773 and 1812 using the same plan as in other Moravian towns in Europe with the church square as the central point.

The Moravian s Trading House The layout of the town and buildings was heavily dictated by Moravian culture. This included the location for the houses for male and female members reflecting the seating arrangements in church with sisters sitting on the north side and brothers on the southern side of the church. The houses for each group were located on the northern and southern sides of the church respectively Culture The Moravian society was based on the so-called Choir system. Every member of the congregation was part of a choir, a group within the congregation, depending on age, sex and marital status. The most important choirs were the unmarried sisters choir (the Sister Choir), the unmarried brothers choir (the Brother Choir), the boys choir, the girls choir, the married persons choir and the widows choir. The Choirs also formed the basis for a wide range of businesses Business Some businesses were privately run and owned, others belonged to the choir houses. From an early stage there were joiners, carpenters, shoemakers and a tailor in the Brothers House followed by a bakery, tannery, locksmith, potter and a glassworks. In the Sisters House, there was typically a wool spinning mill, cotton spinners, linen and ribbon manufacture, as well as knitting and sewing rooms. Other businesses established were a hatter, candle manufacturer, soap-maker, powder manufacturer, as well as production of sealing wax and quills. A Tobacco Factory was also established, and on Tyrstrup Farm a brewery and distillery were started. The businesses disappeared in line with the choir houses ceasing to function as such with the choir system being phased out by the end of the 1800 s. An old skill, which not only survived, but is in the best of health, is the production of stoves (kakkelovne). The characteristic Christiansfeld stove is, a useable clay draught oven, in order to save firewood. The town also continues to make the gingerbread and honey cakes for which it is well known from the same secret recipe used in the 1700 s in a new bakery established in 2008 after the original 18 th century bakery could no longer meet new sanitary standards. Today Christiansfeld is predominantly a tourist attraction drawing thousands of visitors. The original Moravian Hotel now known as Brødremenighedens Hotel (above) completed its restoration in The hotel retains a marble plaque listing royal guests since the 1800 s.

Andy and Aase have donated very generously both in terms of their time but also prizes, and if any other members have suitable items for a raffle prize, please contact Andy either on their landline or to andyandaase@optusnet.com.au We have had complaints about people not being able to hear when the numbers are drawn, so we are using the microphone now and hope that this will alleviate the problem.

15 Guldbryllup i Danmark Man fejrer guldbryllup når man har været gift i 50 år. Før dagen Guldbryllupsdagen arrangeres gerne af parrets familie eller venner. Om morgenen placeres en æresport foran hoveddøren ved parrets hjem. Æresporten er opbygget af et træskelet, som er pyntet med blomster, grønne blade, flag. Æresporten indeholder også et skjold med brudeparrets navne. Til guldbryllup er skjoldet som regel mørkerødt. Tal og bogstaver skrives med guld. Vækningen Gæsterne møder op ved æresporten om morgenen. Guldbryllup starter kl 8 eller 9. Herefter vækkes brudeparret ved, at der synges et par sange. Det er som regel et par vers af I Østen Stiger Solen Op og Det er så Yndigt At Følges Ad. traditionelt engangerer man et par musikere til at spille til. Morgenmaden Når sangene er sunget, inviteres gæsterne indenfor hos brudeparret. Der kan også bruges et forsamlingshus eller ejendommens fælleslokaler, hvis det er muligt. Efter gæsterne har fået lidt morgenmad, spiller musikerne et par numre. Et vigtigt punkt på programmet er brudevalsen, hvor brudeparret gerne skal vise et par dansetrin.

17 Smørrebrødets historie Kierlighed og Smørrebrød At Smørrebrød er ikke Mad, Og Kierlighed er ikke Had, Det er for Tiden hvad jeg veed Om Smørrebrød og Kierlighed. (John Herman Wessel ) Smørrebrødets rødder rækker helt tilbage til 1600-tallet, hvor husmoderen gik ud i marken til sin mand med frokostkurven, som indeholdt klemmer bestående af tykke skiver rugbrød med lidt ost og pølse. I 1700-tallet brugte man udtrykket, at noget var smørrebrød i betydningen let eller nemt, på samme måde, som man i dag siger, at noget er det rene barnemad. Ud fra dette må vi gå ud fra, at begrebet smørrebrød, som vi kender det i dag, ikke var opfundet på den tid. Traditionen med det højtbelagte smørrebrød stammer angiveligt fra klunketiden i 1880 erne. Det harmonerer stilmæssigt meget godt, at smørrebrødet er opfundet på denne tid i historien, hvor der var hang til det overfyldte. Her kunne borgerskabet, som netop var kommet til byen som handlende eller industriherrer, spise det højtbelagte smørrebrød. Sådan kunne de afgrænse sig fra bønderne ved at vise, hvor godt de beherskede kniv og gaffel, når de mødtes på de mange smørrebrødsrestauranter, som dukkede op i de københavnske kældre. Og mange af dem eksisterer endnu i dag. Den ældste bevarede smørrebrødsseddel skulle være fra restaurant Nimb i Tivoli, Og de ældste kilder til det højbelagte smørrebrøds historie går ligeledes kun tilbage til 1880 erne. Således fortæller Ida Davidsen, at hendes oldefar Oskar Davidsen havde en vinhandel på Åboulevarden i København og fik bevilget ret til udskænkning i For at kunderne så kunne have lidt at spise til, serverede han smørrebrød og Davidsen blev berømt for sin smørrebrødsseddel, der på et tidspunkt var 140 cm lang og rummede op til 178 forskellige stykke smørrebrød! Og det var i øvrigt én af hans kunder, en dyrlæge der tilså Cirkus Miehes stalde i nærheden, der hver aften forlangte et stykke med leverpostej, fedt, sky, saltkød og rå løgringe. En kombination, der siden da er blevet kaldt "Dyrlægens natmad". I de senere år har smørrebrødet fået en renæssance og danske kokke har nyfortolket traditionen med vægt på kvalitet og gode råvarer. Mange steder laves alt fra bunden, fra marinering af sild til mayonnaise og hønsesalat. Tendensen går imod en mere enkel form for smørrebrød, hvor pålægget ikke længere skjuler brødet og hvor råvarerne er økologiske.

19 Easter Lunch 2013 by Soren Hoimark Sunday 14 April around 90 members and their guests enjoyed the huge, traditional Danish Sunday lunch buffet det store kolde bord at the club. A veritable vegetarian s nightmare, there was everything from pickled herring, smoked salmon and eel. A new addition for this year s menu was Atlantic Cod all the way from Greenland (it made the front page). Also freshly made roast pork with warm crackling/red cabbage, roast beef with remoulade, frikadeller and medisterpølse with the lot all in all 17 different toppings for the smørrebrød. This was followed by cheese, of course Esrom and other beautifully smelly cheeses. After a nice big meal, something sweet must follow very nice cakes from the local French patisserie as well as chocolate Easter eggs. It was great to see that all guests followed Danish tradition visit the buffet many times, so you avoid mixing flavours that should never be mixed smoked eel with red cabbage just doesn t work. Kirsten Wyeth celebrated her birthday with the whole family, and they had also 8 kids in the party who made good use of the kid s room and were very well behaved and had a great time, too the Sunday lunch is a family affair, so great to see some young ones join us. A big thanks to all volunteers in the kitchen there were 12 of us thanks to extra volunteers joining the usual crew for this special event.
