Danish Order of Freemasons

The Danish Order of Freemasons (Danish: Den Danske Frimurerorden, abbr.: DDFO), in English also known as the Grand Lodge of Denmark, is a governing body of some Masonic Lodges in Denmark. The Danish Order of Freemasons was founded on 16 November 1858.The Danish Order of Freemasons has 89 Lodges all working in accordance with the rituals of the Swedish Rite and all requiring members be baptised in the Christian faith. The Danish Order of Freemasons has approximately 7,500 members.Affiliated to the Danish Order of Freemasons are two Masonic organisations, both of which have their own Lodges and do not require members be baptised in the Christian faith: The Ancient Fraternity of Free and Accepted Masons of Denmark (Danish: Det Danske Frimurerlaug af Gamle Frie & Antagne Murere) has approximately 1,300 members and 41 Lodges practising the rituals of the Emulation Rite, while the Saint John's Lodge Association (Danish: Johanneslogeforbundet af Gamle, Frie og Antagne Murere) has approximately 150 members and 3 Lodges practising the rituals of the Schröder Rite. Members of the Danish Order of Freemasons, the Ancient Fraternity of Free and Accepted Masons of Denmark, and the Saint John's Lodge Association have mutual visiting privileges. Since the Ancient Fraternity of Free and Accepted Masons of Denmark and the Saint John's Lodge Association only work three craft degrees, their members may be invited to join the Danish Order of Freemasons with respect to its higher degrees.The building owned by the Danish Order of Freemasons is located on Blegdamsvej in Copenhagen's Østerbro district, Denmark. The building was designed by Danish architect Holger Rasmussen and was built between 1 May 1923 and 12 October 1927. The cornerstone was laid on 3 June 1924 by Christian X of Denmark. The building has 13,515 square metres of floor space and approximately 335 rooms. It is 19.5 metres tall and has six main floors, two of which are below ground. The two columns by the main entrance are 16 metres tall and weigh 72 tons each. During the later part of the Second World War the building was occupied and was used as headquarters by the Schalburg Corps.

Kartoffelrækkerne
Kartoffelrækkerne

Kartoffelrækkerne (Potato Rows) is a housing project built 1873-1889 in what is today the Eastern border of central Copenhagen, Denmark. It consists of 480 houses built by a now defunct shipyard (Burmeister & Wain) workers' union to avoid the unhealthy sanitary conditions of central Copenhagen of the day and the resulting cholera epidemic. The plans included sewers and garbage disposal solutions as prescribed by the then new understandings of the causes of the epidemics. The architect of the project was Frederik Christian Bøttger who used yellow brick with horizontal red brick lines to create a classic impression. The area was previously part of the fortifications surrounding the city where no construction had been allowed; instead potatoes were grown there in long rows. The houses were built in 11 straight lines; both factors contributed to the name of the project. To finance the project, workers of the shipyard could pay a small advance, but the actual distribution of the houses was done by lottery. The advance money was returned with interest to the unlucky families after a 10 year period. The ones that did win would pay the rest off over 10–25 years, although the houses were typically shared by two or three families because of the high cost. Today most of the houses are single family homes in what has become a very attractive and central address. Ironically, at the time of construction there was much opposition to its location so far from the city and the perceived long commute.
