Esbjerg hotels - About Esbjerg
Esbjerg is a Danish seaport on the west coast of the Jutland peninsula in southwest Denmark, the main town of Esbjerg Municipality, the site of it's municipal council and with a population of 70,880 (january 1, 2008) the fifth largest city in Denmark.
The city of Esbjerg was established around the harbour, which the state had build in 1868 as a replacement for the harbour in Altona that had previously been Denmarks's most important North Sea harbour. In 1874 Esbjerg was connected by rail to Fredericia and Varde.
The city has been voted "City of the Year" twice. The first time was in 1997 where the city was awarded the title because of the corporate work between public and private companies. In 2006 the city was again awarded "City of the Year". The second award was given due to the work and support of young talents. The talents in sport, artwork and music have been given good support and given the best facilities to develop their talent even further. The city holds an annual music festival spanning two weekends (nine days) during mid-August and is focused around the central Torvet Square which hosts the main stage. The festival celebrated its 10th anniversary in 2006.
The city was once Denmark's biggest fishing harbour, and the harbour is still an economic driving force in the town. Besides the fishing industri Esbjerg is also the main city for Denmark's oil and offshore activities. Companies like Mærsk Oil & Gas, Ramboll Oil & Gas, ABB A/S, COWI and Atkins Denmark all have offshore related activities in the city.
Esbjerg is one of the central towns of the University of Southern Denmark, and also houses a branch of Aalborg University and IT Academy West.
