Southern Denmark

The region encompasses twenty-two municipalities across South Jutland and Funen, with Vejle serving as the regional capital since its establishment.

Southern Denmark emerged from the 2007 Danish Municipal Reform, which consolidated previous counties and reduced the total number of municipalities from 270 to 98.

The region maintains the North Schleswig Germans as Denmark's only recognized ethno-linguistic minority, representing six percent of specific municipal populations.

The Great Belt Fixed Link connects Southern Denmark to Zealand, while local transport services operate through providers like Sydtrafik and Fynbus.

The region generates 57.3 billion euros in GDP, contributing nineteen percent of Denmark's total economic output through its industrial and service sectors.
