The Lectern - Talerstolen - at Skamlingsbanken, Denmark
The Lectern (Talerstolen) at Skamlingsbanken, a large hill located in Vejstrup Parish, Jutland, Denmark, between Kolding and Christiansfeld. Erected in 1903 and designed by Lorenz Frolich and made by Niels Larsen Stevns, the monument tells (with national, Christian and Nordic symbols) the struggle for the mother tongue. Several major historic public meetings took place here during and after the disputes over the territory of Schleswig-Holstein. When peace returned, there was an exchange of territories between the kingdom and the Duchy of Southern Jutland. As a result, eight non-Jutland parishes in the northern part of Tyrstrup Herred, including Vejstrup Parish, were transferred to the kingdom and Skamlingsbanken thereafter fell within the borders of Denmark.

EDITORS COMMENTS
The Lectern at Skamlingsbanken, a historic site in Vejstrup Parish, Jutland, Denmark, is a testament to the struggle for Danish identity and cultural heritage. Erected in 1903, this monument was designed by Lorenz Frolich and crafted by Niels Larsen Stevns, and is adorned with national, Christian, and Nordic symbols. The Lectern, also known as Talerstolen, stands atop the large hill of Skamlingsbanken, which has been the site of several major public meetings since the disputes over the territory of Schleswig-Holstein. During this time, peace was restored, resulting in an exchange of territories between the kingdom and the Duchy of Southern Jutland. Consequently, eight non-Jutland parishes, including Vejstrup Parish, were transferred to the kingdom, and Skamlingsbanken fell within the borders of Denmark. The Lectern, with its carved stones and intricate carvings, serves as a reminder of the importance of language and cultural identity in shaping the history of this region. The monument's national, Christian, and Nordic symbols represent the unity and resilience of the Danish people, making it a significant cultural landmark in Denmark. This photograph, taken in the 1910s, captures the timeless beauty and historical significance of The Lectern at Skamlingsbanken, a place where the past and present converge, and where the struggle for identity continues to resonate.
