Hærulf Runestone, Norse runestone in Aabenraa Municipality, Denmark.

The Hærulf Runestone stands 124 centimeters tall with a width varying between 24 and 59 centimeters, featuring Proto-Norse runes carved into its surface.

Originally situated at Øster Løgum near the Jutland highway, the stone was taken to Berlin in 1864 and returned to Denmark near its initial location in 1952.

The inscription includes the name Hærulf, derived from Proto-Norse Hariwulfa, meaning Warrior-Wolf, reflecting the naming conventions of Norse society during the Viking Age.

The runestone maintains its position at latitude 55.140089 and longitude 9.344935, northeast of Hovslund Stationsby in Southern Jutland, making it accessible for visitors.

The stone features dots as punctuation marks to separate words, carved in runestone style RAK with straight-ended runic bands from the 10th century.
