Dyrehaven ( Danish "The Deer Park", 'The Animal Garden' (Literal translation) ), officially Jægersborg Dyrehave , is a forest park north of Copenhagen in the county of Lyngby-Taarbæk . It covers around 11 km (4.2 sq mi). Dyrehaven is noted for its mixture of huge, ancient oak trees and large populations of red and fallow deer . In July 2015, it was one of the three forests included in the UNESCO World Heritage Site inscribed as Par force hunting landscape in North Zealand .
38-438: All entrances to the park have a characteristic red gate ; one of the most popular entrances is Klampenborg gate, close to Klampenborg station . All the entrance gates have an identical gate house attached to them, which serve as the residences of the forest wardens. Dyrehaven is maintained as a natural forest, with the emphasis on the natural development of the woods over commercial forestry . Old trees are felled only if they are
76-422: A gatehouse . Today, many gate doors are equipped with self-closing devices that can improve safety, security, and convenience. It is important to choose a controlled gate closer to ensure a consistent closing speed, as well as safety and security. A self-closing gate can help prevent accidents by children or pets, particularly around swimming pools, spas, beaches and hot tubs. A self-closing gate can also improve
114-412: A clumsy appearance. Peter Liep took over the building in 1888. In September 1915 the house burned to the ground, but it was reconstructed by 1916. In 1928 the house burned down again. It was rebuilt to a different design, basically as it can be seen today. After some years a pavilion and toilets were added. Visitor numbers consistently rose (the house had already achieved a good reputation as a restaurant by
152-633: A danger to the public. It has herds of about 2100 deer in total, with 300 Red Deer , 1700 Fallow Deer and 100 Sika Deer . Dyrehaven is also the venue for the Hermitage road race (Eremitageløbet) and the yearly Hubertus hunt (Hubertusjagten) which is held on the first Sunday in November. In former times it was home to the Fortunløbet race, later known as Ermelundsløbet, but this race was discontinued in 1960. In 1669 Frederik III decided that
190-553: A dramatic sketch ( April the Second 1801 ), the first work of the kind by his pen that we possess. In the summer of 1802, when Oehlenschläger had an old Scandinavian romance , as well as a volume of lyrics in the press, the young Norse philosopher, Henrik Steffens (1773–1845), returned to Copenhagen after a long visit to Friedrich Wilhelm Joseph Schelling (1775–1854) in Germany. He was full of new romantic ideas. His lectures at
228-504: A gateway may be considered " doors ", as they are fixed at one side whilst opening and closing like one. A gate may have a latch that can be raised and lowered to both open a gate or prevent it from swinging. Gate operation can be either automated or manual. Locks are also used on gates to increase security. Larger gates can be used for a whole building, such as a castle or fortified town . Actual doors can also be considered gates when they are used to block entry as prevalent within
266-407: A place of pilgrimage for the sick who would come to drink the water. Peter Lieps Hus (Peter Liep's House) is now a well-known restaurant. It is named after Dyrehaven's first sharpshooter, Peter Liep. The house was originally called Kildehuset ( Spring house ) and is thought to have been to be built towards the end of the 18th century. In the 1860s a two-storey extension was added that gave the house
304-429: A somewhat hasty volume of poems, published in 1803, now chiefly remembered as containing the piece called Sanct Hansaften-Spil . The next two years saw the production of several exquisite works, in particular the epic of Thors Reise til Jotunheim , the poem in hexameters called Langelandsreisen , and the bewitching fantasy Aladdin (1805). At the age of twenty-six, Oehlenschläger was universally recognised, even by
342-410: Is a point of entry to or from a space enclosed by walls . The word derived from old Norse "gat" meaning road or path ; But other terms include yett and port . The concept originally referred to the gap or hole in the wall or fence, rather than a barrier which closed it. Gates may prevent or control the entry or exit of individuals, or they may be merely decorative. The moving part or parts of
380-490: Is an area in the north of the park. Originally this area was the fields of the village of Stokkerup, but was enclosed when Christian needed it for hunting with dogs. Evidence of this can be clearly seen from the roads which are laid out in the classic star form that was typical for areas used in this form of hunting. In the middle of Eremitagesletten is the Hermitage , built during the reign of Christian VI . Eremitagesletten
418-479: Is encircled by forest. From Hjortekær to the north and the east there is a row of chestnut trees that make up the boundaries of the plain. This row of trees marked the northern extent of Dyrehaven until 1913, when the boundaries were extended north of Mølleåen. This is an area north of Eremitagesletten near Rådvad along the banks of the Millstream . Fortunens Indelukke is an area in the west of Dyrehaven. It

#1732772549242456-501: Is fenced in and is the only part of the forest that the deer do not have access to. There are a few other areas also fenced in, but only smaller and temporary to save the young trees. Ulvedalene has Dyrehaven's hilliest terrain, which was created during the last ice age. Djævlebakken, a popular sledging run is found in this part of the park. Ulvedalsteateret (Ulvedal theatre) gave performances for 39 years in Ulvedalene. The first time
494-478: Is the southernmost part of Dyrehaven and the most visited. Dyrehavsbakken (colloquially Bakken and literally in English "The Deer Park's Hill") is the world's oldest existing amusement park. Kirsten Piils Kilde (Kirsten Piil's Spring) was discovered in 1583 by Kirsten Piil about whom little is known. Legend states Kirsten was a pious woman, who, through her devotion, gave the spring curative powers, which made it
532-498: The tragedies of Erik og Abel (1820) and Væringerne i Miklagaard (1826), and the epic of Hrolf Krake (1829).

After his death his Recollections (1850) were published in two volumes. Adam Oehlenschläger married Christiane Georgine Elisabeth Heger (1782-1841) in 1810. She
570-534: The 1805 edition; this revised version was published in Amsterdam in 1808. Ferruccio Busoni later used the text of this translation for the last (choral) movement of his Piano Concerto Op. 39 . Later editions of Oehlenschläger's play do not contain this text. In July 1808 he left Paris and spent the autumn and winter in Switzerland as the guest of Madame de Staël at Coppet , in the midst of her salon. In
608-497: The age of nine, Oehlenschläger began to write fluent verses . Three years later, he attracted the notice of the poet Edvard Storm (1749–1794) and as a result Öhlenschläger received an introduction into Scandinavian mythology . Oehlenschläger was confirmed in 1795, and was to have been apprenticed to a tradesman in Copenhagen. He also entered the stage where he was offered a small position. In 1797 he made his appearance on
646-639: The boards in several successive parts, but soon discovered that he possessed no real histrionic talent. Jurist Anders Sandøe Ørsted (1778–1860) who would later marry his sister Sophie, persuaded him to quit the theatre, and in 1800 he entered the University of Copenhagen . He was disturbed in his studies by the death of his mother, by his inveterate occupation with poetry, and finally by the First Battle of Copenhagen in April 1801, which, however, inspired
684-535: The collective name "Peter Lieps Hus", though the house is very different from the house Peter Liep lived in on the same spot. Fortunen (The Fortune) is a former ranger station on the King's hunting road to Dyrehaven, named after the Roman goddess of luck Fortuna . It is now home to a hotel and restaurant. The Hubertus Hunt is a cross country horse race which takes place every year on the first Sunday in November, marking
722-500: The court of Louis XIV in France . Here he had seen another type of hunting practice, parforce (hunting with dogs), that he wished to adopt. This style of hunting required a greater area of land for its practice, so Christian V increased the boundaries to include the fields up to the village of Stokkerup (the area known today as Eremitagesletten), as well as taking in the land that today is Jægersborg Hegn. The additional enclosure increased
760-452: The cycle of verse-romances called Helge , published in 1814. The tragedy of Hagbarth og Signe , (1815), showed a distinct diminution of his powers. In 1817 he returned to Paris, and published Hroars Saga and the tragedy of Fostbrødrene . In 1818 he was again in Copenhagen, and wrote the idyll of Den lille Hyrdedreng and the Eddaic cycle called Nordens Guder . His next productions were
798-401: The end of the 19th century). In 1952 a fire again broke out in the house. The fire was extinguished before it did any major damage: a hole was burned in the thatched roof, but later the same day the extensions caught fire and burned down, and only the main farmhouse was able to be saved. The extensions were rebuilt in 1954 and a new pavilion added in 1960. All these buildings are today known under

#1732772549242836-629: The end of the hunting season. First held in 1900, the event attracts about 160 riders and up to 40,000 spectators. The race always begins at Peter Liep's House and involves a break at the Hermitage Lodge. The race route is 13 km long and involves a total of 35 obstacles. The winner receives the Hubertus chain. Beginning in 1910, the Royal Danish Theatre started what was intended to become an annual theatre production during
874-455: The level of the fence. The ditch and bank can still be seen for a long stretch in the south-easterly part of the current park. The work was never finished, as Frederik III died in 1670. The design, however, is still on record, and the area for the scheme worked out at around 3 square kilometres. When Frederik's son, Christian V , became king, he laid out new and more ambitious plans for Dyrehaven. During his education Christian V had spent time at
912-497: The opponents of the romantic revival, as the leading poet of Denmark . He now collected his Poetical Writings in two volumes. He found no difficulty in obtaining a grant for foreign travel from the government, and he left Denmark for the first time, joining Steffens at the University of Halle in August 1805. Here he wrote the first of his great historical tragedies, Hakon Jarl , which he sent off to Copenhagen, and then proceeded for
950-495: The poetry and religion of their ancestors. He supplied his countrymen with romantic tragedies at a time when all eyes were turned to the stage. His plays fulfilled the stage requirements of the day, and were popular beyond all expectation. He performed to an extent that his name remains to this day synonymous with Scandinavian romance. The earliest are the best: Oehlenschlager's dramatic masterpiece being his first tragedy, Hakon Jarl . Although his inspiration came from Germany, he
988-556: The second with Schiller. From this time forward his literary activity became very great; in 1811 he published the Oriental tale of Ali og Gulhyndi , and in 1812 the last of his great tragedies, Stærkodder . From 1814 to 1819 his admirers were engaged in a long and angry controversy with Baggesen , who represented the old didactic school. This contest seems to have disturbed the peace of Oehlenschläger's mind and to have undermined his genius. His talent may be said to have culminated in
1026-590: The security of the property by ensuring that the gate is closed and latched properly. There are various types of gate closers available, including exposed spring devices, gate closers, spring hinges, and self-closing hinges. The appropriate type of closer will depend on the weight and size of the gate, as well as other factors like speed control, weather resistance, and ADA compliance .

His first course of lectures dealt with his Danish predecessor Johannes Ewald ,
1140-573: The summer at Ulvedalene in Jægersborg Dyrehave. This continued with semi-regular productions until 1949.

1216-457: The university, in which Goethe and Schiller were revealed to the Danish public for the first time, created a great sensation. Steffens and Oehlenschläger met one day resulting in a conversation of sixteen hours. After Oehlenschläger returned home, he wrote at a sitting his poem Guldhornene , in a manner totally new to Danish literature. The result of his new enthusiasm speedily showed itself in
1254-426: The village of Stokkerup, which lay to the north. Fencing work consisted of excavating a ditch, the earth from which was built up in a bank on the outside walls of the ditch, on the opposite side to the centre of the park. On the top of the bank posts were driven into the ground and fences installed. This made it more difficult for the deer to leap the fence, as the rise between the ditch and the bank effectively increased
1292-789: The winter months to Berlin , where he associated with Wilhelm von Humboldt , Johann Gottlieb Fichte and met Goethe for the first time. In the spring of 1806 he went on to Weimar , where he spent several months in daily intercourse with Goethe. Autumn of that year was passed with Tieck in Dresden , and he proceeded in December to Paris . Here he resided eighteen months and wrote his three famous masterpieces, Baldur hin Gode (1808), Palnatoke (1809), and Axel og Valborg (1810). Oehlenschläger had also made his own translation of Aladdin into German, adding some new material which does not appear in
1330-539: The wood of "Boveskov" ("Beech wood") should be fenced in and wild deer from the surrounding areas driven into the newly created park. Boveskov was already well known as the former property of Valdemar the Victorious as it had been recorded in his census (the Liber Census Daniæ ) of 1231. The forest lay in the westerly and southerly part of the present Dyrehaven and encompassed land used by the farmers from

The poet's mother Martha Marie Hansen (1745–1800) suffered from depression , which afterwards deepened into melancholy madness. Oehlenschläger and his sister Sophie Ørsted (1782–1818) were taught only to read and write, until their twelfth year. At
1406-415: Was in the summer of 1910 with Adam Gottlob Oehlenschläger 's Hagbart and Signe . The idea originated from the actor Adam Poulsen and producer Henrik Cavling. The architect Jens Ferdinand Willumsen created spaces for about 4,000 sitting and 2,000 standing spectators, which made it possible to lower the ticket price to an accessible level. The theatre survived up to 1949, and after a break of almost 50 years,
1444-504: Was the sister of Kamma Rahbek (1775–1829), the wife of Knud Lyne Rahbek (1760–1830). Oehlenschläger died 20 January 1850 and was buried in the cemetery of Frederiksberg Church . Adam Oehlenschläger was one of the principal pioneers of the romantic movement in Europe. With the exception of Ludvig Holberg (1684–1754), no Danish writer before 1870 has exercised so wide an influence. His work awoke among his countrymen an enthusiasm for
