God! I was born in Copenhagen and still live here. I didn’t know any of these. (I’ve seen canon balls on other buildings tho). I should probably look a bit more at my own city :)
Great video. In March we will visit the beautiful city of Copenhagen. I will be able to discover these beautiful hidden details and enjoy them. Thank you very much for the information.
Thank you very much, Erin! I saw cannonballs only at Nørregade, thank you for sharing more places!!) Also didn’t know about cannons. And columns! This was new! Thank you so much🥰🥰🥰
That's a super interesting video Erin. I have personally never been to Copenhagen but it's definitely on my list. Once I come back to Switzerland it will allow me to travel Europe much much more. Can't wait for it.
Sitting here smiling at all the things! Really great finds, Erin. I think I'll go visit the garden and of course keep and eye out for the not usually spotted objects. I'll have to travel all the way from Aalborg to the dangerous capital of my country full of hoodlums and creatures from an entirely different planet - that's something for me to get over. Luckily they speak danish "over there" too. Albeit a more singing variant of danish which sounds funny to my ears.
Oh thank you so much, Allan, your comment really made my day 🥰 It's funny, I still can't quite hear different accents in Danish - hopefully one day I'll become good enough at the language to hear all the small intricacies and dialects 😊 And I need to go visit Aalborg one day! One of the places on my Denmark bucket list.
Jeg troede jeg kendte min by men det skulle du da lige lave om på på 7 min,kendte kun 2, "galgen" på Nytorv og de gyldne damer og der viste jeg ikke engang at de plejede at vise vejret..så tak for den gode video :))
Jeg har kigget på det termometer hundredevis/tusindvis af gange uden overhovedet at bemærke der var gyldne piger ovenover..... Det ville være fantastisk at en eller anden med dybe lommer ku hjælpe på den front, men... jeg tænker at de heller ikke ved der er gyldne piger på Vesterbrogade.. ;-)
You're right that executions mainly took place outside the city walls but many executions definitely took place here too: www.berlingske.dk/kultur/her-laa-byens-skafot-i-129-aar www.hovedstadshistorie.dk/indre-by/nytorv kbh.systime.dk/?id=374
I have been thinking about it...! The owner stated they got a quote a few years back for a crane to lift the girls down (they weigh 4 tonnes each so would need to be removed if any renovation was to take place). I think he said the quote was around 1.6 million DKK, which both seems like a lot just for a crane but also a manageable amount for a Go Fund Me? 🤔
@@ErininCopenhagen Create a GoFundMe and circulate it to old school Copenhagen companies like Carlsberg and Maersk - maybe those companies are willing to support such a good cause that close to home.

@@ErininCopenhagen 5 sek. Googling will give You this: En kag er en skampæl eller en høj, bred, sokkelagtig opbygning på byens torv, hvor småtyve og "letlevende kvinder" blev pisket offentligt (kagstrygning). Short interpretation: If You were convicted as petty thief or a "Sexual service worker" You would be tied to the "Kag" and flocked. "Kagstrygning" (whipping and caning) was widely used in the English army and navy during the Napoleonic wars. The French had stopped this practise during the revolutionary wars. The English kept on spanking until late in the 19th century. Not quite sure when this punishment method was abandoned in Denmark. Most sources state 1866 as civilian punishment. Maybe same year for Army and Navy? Today whipping and caning is no longer used in western democraties (even the English Armed Forces finally gave up). However, whipping is still part of the sharia law practiced in some muslim countries. Caning is part of the military penal code in a country which by most people is perceived as democratic: Singapore.
Thank you Erin , for showing details I have never noticed

Aw thanks so much for your sweet comment, Svetlana! Hope you're enjoying Copenhagen 😊

Ohh Switzerland is unreal - is that where you're based?? 😍 Thanks so much for watching!
@@ErininCopenhagen I was born and raised in Switzerland 😊 but decided to move to Vietnam over 2 years ago to "explore" my heritage😃
Great content! Didn’t know any of the things mentioned the video eventhough i’m danish :-) but still cool to learn new stuff about our Capital !
Thank you so much ❤️ Glad you enjoyed!

hehe you are good. How do you find those details of Copenhagen? Well its just great work by you
A LOT of reading and researching - mostly to satisfy my own curiosity 😅 Thanks so much Nikolas. Hope you're having a great week!

Tusind tak Henrik! Jeg er så glad at du kunne godt lide den 😊 Det er en rigtig skam om de gyldne piger! Jeg ønske en dag kan de få dem til virke igen

The kag was only for flagellation, execution was outside city walls.
You're right that executions mainly took place outside the city walls but many executions definitely took place here too:

I'm great thank you, hope you are doing well 😁✨
The weather girls need a GoFundMe campaign.

Even if you speak Danish, you may not know the word "kag". It means a pole, in this case a whipping post.
Yes definitely! I'm of course not native but I had never come across that word before myself.

Hmm nothing about Shellhus and the Jeanne d'Arc School during Operation Carthage on March 21, 1945. That's unfortunate.
Hold on, this is no Hot Dog part 2 video! :D
Du skal spise varieret kost, hun skal nok fortælle dig når det er hotdog tid igen :)
