From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lunderskov municipality is a municipality (Danish, kommune) in Vejle County near the east coast of the Jutland peninsula in southeast Denmark. The municipality covers an area of 96 km², and has a total population of 5,478 (2005). Its mayor is Hans Peter Andersen, a member of the Venstre (Liberal Party) political party.
The main town and the site of its municipal council is the town of Lunderskov, located ca. halfway between the cities of Kolding and Vejen, just south of the Esbjerg Motorway.
Neighboring municipalities are Kolding to the east, Egtved to the north, Vejen to the west, and Vamdrup to the south.
The municipality was created in 1970 as the result of a kommunalreform ("Municipality Reform") that merged a number of existing parishes:
- Jordrup Parish
- Lejrskov Parish
- Skanderup Parish
By January 1, 2007 Lunderskov municipality will cease to exist as the result of Kommunalreformen ("The Municipality Reform" of 2007). It will be merged with existing Christiansfeld, Kolding, and Vamdrup municipalities to form a new Kolding municipality. This will create a municipality with an area of 640 km² and a total population of 86,102 (2005). The new municipality will belong to the new Region Syddanmark ("South Denmark Region").
