Vamdrup
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Vamdrup is a town in Vejle Amt, near Kolding in Denmark with approximately 7,500 inhabitants.
After the Second War of Schleswig in 1864, where Denmark lost Southern Jutland to Germany, Vamdrup became a border town, where the railway station had important function as a border railway station. Kolding Sydbaner, a railway company that existed from 1911 to 1948, also had a railway line to Vamdrup.
Three oak coffins were uncovered from graves in the Bronze Age mound Guldhøj in Holt near Vamdrup in 1891, and are now on display at the National Museum (Nationalmuseet).
In connection with the industrialisation in the 1950s and 60s Vamdrup flourished again with many new companies.
