History of Sonderborg


JuteVilla
Prior to the Second Schleswig War of 1864, Sonderborg was situated in the Duchy of Schleswig, a Danish fief, so its history is properly included in the contentious history of Schleswig-Holstein. In the 1920 Schleswig Plebiscite that returned Northern Schleswig to Denmark, 43.8% of the city of Sonderborg's inhabitants voted for the cession to Denmark and 56.2% voted for remaining part of Germany
