Gefionspringvandet

Gefionspringvandet. Copenhagen. Danmark

Легенда
Фонтан создан по мотивам предания из Эдде, согласно которому король Швеции Гюльфе обещал Гефион, женщине из рода Азов, в дар столько земли, сколько можно вспахать на четырёх быках в одни сутки. Гефион превратила в быков четырёх своих сыновей, рожденных от великана, и они провели такую глубокую борозду, что отрезали от Швеции большой кусок земли, названный Гефион островом Зеландия. На месте, где раньше была Зеландия, по легенде, образовалось озеро Lögrinn. Согласно поверью, этим озером является крупнейшее шведское озеро Венерн, по форме действительно напоминающее Зеландию.

Copenhagen, Denmark - Gefion Fountain (Gefionspringvandet) (2018)

The Gefion Fountain is a large fountain on the harbour front in Copenhagen, Denmark. It features a large-scale group of animal figures being driven by the Norse goddess Gefjon. It is located in Nordre Toldbod area next to Kastellet and immediately south of Langelinie.

Copenhagen is the capital and most populous city of Denmark. The city has a population of 775,033 (as of January 2018), of whom 613,288 live in the Municipality of Copenhagen and the Copenhagen urban area has a population of 1,308,893 (as of January 2018). Copenhagen is situated on the eastern coast of the island of Zealand; another small portion of the city is located on Amager, and is separated from Malmö, Sweden, by the strait of Øresund. The Øresund Bridge connects the two cities by rail and road.

Originally a Viking fishing village founded in the 10th century, Copenhagen became the capital of Denmark in the early 15th century. Beginning in the 17th century it consolidated its position as a regional centre of power with its institutions, defences and armed forces. After suffering from the effects of plague and fire in the 18th century, the city underwent a period of redevelopment. This included construction of the prestigious district of Frederiksstaden and founding of such cultural institutions as the Royal Theatre and the Royal Academy of Fine Arts. After further disasters in the early 19th century when Horatio Nelson attacked the Dano-Norwegian fleet and bombarded the city, rebuilding during the Danish Golden Age brought a Neoclassical look to Copenhagen's architecture. Later, following the Second World War, the Finger Plan fostered the development of housing and businesses along the five urban railway routes stretching out from the city centre.

Since the turn of the 21st century, Copenhagen has seen strong urban and cultural development, facilitated by investment in its institutions and infrastructure. The city is the cultural, economic and governmental centre of Denmark; it is one of the major financial centres of Northern Europe with the Copenhagen Stock Exchange. Copenhagen's economy has seen rapid developments in the service sector, especially through initiatives in information technology, pharmaceuticals and clean technology. Since the completion of the Øresund Bridge, Copenhagen has become increasingly integrated with the Swedish province of Scania and its largest city, Malmö, forming the Øresund Region. With a number of bridges connecting the various districts, the cityscape is characterised by parks, promenades and waterfronts. Copenhagen's landmarks such as Tivoli Gardens, The Little Mermaid statue, the Amalienborg and Christiansborg palaces, Rosenborg Castle Gardens, Frederik's Church, and many museums, restaurants and nightclubs are significant tourist attractions. The largest lake of Denmark, Arresø, lies around 27 miles (43 kilometers) northwest of the City Hall Square.

Copenhagen is home to the University of Copenhagen, the Technical University of Denmark and Copenhagen Business School. The University of Copenhagen, founded in 1479, is the oldest university in Denmark. Copenhagen is home to the FC København and Brøndby football clubs. The annual Copenhagen Marathon was established in 1980. Copenhagen is one of the most bicycle-friendly cities in the world.

The Copenhagen Metro launched in 2002 serves central Copenhagen while the Copenhagen S-train and Lokaltog (private railway) and the Coast Line network serves and connects central Copenhagen to outlying boroughs. To relieve traffic congestion, which is partly the result of increased traffic because of the Fehmarn Belt Fixed Link road and rail construction is planned because the narrow 9-9.5 mile isthmus between Roskilde Fjord and Køge Bugt (Køge Bay) forms a traffic bottleneck. The Copenhagen-Ringsted Line will relieve traffic congestion in the corridor between Roskilde and Copenhagen.

Serving roughly two million passengers a month, Copenhagen Airport, Kastrup, is the busiest airport in the Nordic countries.

Gefionspringvandet. Copenhagen

Фонтан Гефион (дат. Gefionspringvandet) — фонтан возле гавани в Копенгагене. Скульптурная композиция фонтана изображает скандинавскую богиню плодородия Гефион с четырьмя быками. Фонтан расположен в парке Лангелиние недалеко от фортификационного сооружения Кастеллет.
Фонтан был преподнесён в дар городу Фондом Carlsberg в честь 50-летия со дня основания пивоварни. Изначально планировалось построить фонтан на главной площади Копенгагена перед зданием ратуши, но потом было решено возвести его на теперешнем месте. Скульптурная композиция была создана датским скульптором Андерсом Бундгордом (Anders Bundgaard) в 1897—99 гг, а резервуар и постамент были закончены в 1908 году. Впервые фонтан был запущен 14 июля 1908 года. В 1999 году начались реставрационные работы, и фонтан заработал снова только в сентябре 2004 года.
