Herning
- a centre of rapid development
The City of Herning, a nerve centre of
development, education, culture, trade fairs
and international sporting and music events,
is situated in central Jutland.
Apart from the main City of Herning
and its 47,000 inhabitants, the
municipality with a total of 86,700 people
covers an area large enough to make it the
third largest municipality in Denmark.
The region is known for its sense of community cohesion supported by resourcefulness,
entrepreneurship, the will to achieve results
and deeply rooted traditions of cooperation
between industry and commerce, cultural
institutions, enthusiasts and the municipality. It is actually said that the region
harbours a unique spirit - or the Herning
DNA.
Education, business and culture
The Birk area serves as a formidable example
of this community cohesion. Here, a unique
education and university environment is
found right next door to companies and
internationally renowned art experiences.
The area is home to AU-Herning, TEKO’s design and textile programmes, the art
museum Heart and Carl-Henning Pedersen
& Else Alfelts Museum, just to name a few.
Ingvar Cronhammar’s enormous sculpture
“Elia”, Herning’s unofficial landmark, is also
found here.
In recent years, Herning has been singled
out in several surveys as the most business
friendly municipality in Denmark.
Herning, the event city
Recently, Herning has really made its mark
as an event city hosting world-class international sporting events and concerts.
www.herning.dk
The first exhibition hall opened in Herning in
1954. Today, this single hall has developed
into MCH. With its exhibition halls,
auditoriums, the stadium MCH Arena
Herning and the multi-arena Jyske Bank
BOXEN, MCH is able to cater for any need
regarding meetings, trade fairs, championships and music.
In pace with the development of MCH, the
people of Herning and the surrounding area
have geared themselves towards receiving
the many visitors in terms of infrastructure,
planning and service. Cooperation is key.
Local businesses, cultural institutions and
volunteers as well as the municipality of
Herning and MCH contribute greatly to
creating the best possible conditions for
Herning, the event city.
The sky is the limit
The ambition is to make Herning a great
place to call home, to work, educate oneself
and do business - put briefly, to make
Herning a great place to live. We also like
having visitors - whether they come to
shop, see a play, experience art, participate
in conferences, meetings and trade fairs, go
to concerts or participate in sporting events.
We usually say that in
“Herning, the sky is the
limit”.

Facts
Herning city has a population of 47,000 people
and the Herning Municipality has a total of 86,700
people.
Herning Municipality is Denmark’s third largest in
terms of area and number 12 according to population.
Historically, Herning - and the entire Central Jutland – was influenced by the textile industry.
Today Herning is the drive behind development in
central and western Jutland with a wide range of
educations and businesses.
Sport and culture are very important in Herning
and include among others, 42 sports facilities
spread across the municipality, the special
training facility Herning Football Exploratorium, elite classes in both sports and singing, the
regional theater - Team Teatret, the venue
Fermaten and the two international renown
museums of modern art - HEART and CarlHenning Pedersen & Else Alfelts Museum.
The Herning company - MCH – attracts each year
about 900,000 visitors to the city in connection
with trade fairs, exhibitions, theater, concerts and
sporting events.
Herning is nearby to most - from the North Sea,
to Legoland, to Denmark’s second largest city,
Aarhus, reachable by motorways, trains, or 20-45
minutes to respectively Karup and Billund Airport,
if flying is preferred.
City of championships
There has always been a strong connection
between Herning and sport.
Ice hockey team Herning Blue Fox has won
the Danish championship 16 times and the
city is also home to the Olympic medalist in
wrestling, Häkan Nyblom.
Bicycle joys unfolded for years around the
annual six-days race in track cycling, which
took place from 1974-83 and again in 199598. But also on the country roads, there
has been a trace of large profiles and performances. Most well-known is the eagle
from Herning - Bjarne Riis – bicycling on the
regions roads since childhood, which has
helped to create cycling enthusiasm among
several generations.
There was a culmination of bicycle joys,
when the whole region was pink for
three days in May 2012, in which Herning,
hosted the start stages of the legendary
cycling race Giro d’Italia.
Since their inception in 1999, the Football
club FC Midtjylland has been among the top
players of the Super League. The same holds
true for the FCM women handball team.
The event strategy
Herning Municipality deliberately focused on
being the home of international sporting events
since 2007. The event strategy, which
aims to bring development to the area and
experiences for both residents and visitors,
has borne fruit.
Among other things, Herning has been a
bit of a handball city. In addition to hosting
a variety of national and international matches, the multi arena Jyske Bank BOXEN,
was in 2010 framework for the European
Championships in women’s handball and
will be again for the World Cup in 2015.
The European Championship in handball for
men will be held in January 2014 and in 2019
the city will host the World Cup for men - an
honor the city had back in 1978.
The “H” in Herning could also stand for
horse instead of handball. The World Cup for
Iceland Horses was held for the first time
in 2003. In 2014 and 2015 the Nordic
Championship and the World Cup will
be held again. Since 1979, the city also
hosted one of the largest breeding events
in Europe – the Danish Warmblood
Stallion Grading, with over 50,000 guests
attending the event over a period of a weekend. In August 2013, some of the world’s
most skilled riders gathered in the city,
for the triple Championships in jumping,
dressage and para-dressage.
Top sport and exercise
The list of major sporting events in recent
years also include the Championships in
Badminton (2008), World Wrestling (2009),
European Championship in U21 Soccer
(2011) and the European Championship in
Table Tennis (2012). Alone in 2013, the city
hosted three European Championships - the
triple Championships in Jumping, Dressage
and Para-Dressage (August), the European
Championship in Volleyball (September)
and the European Swimming Championships (December).
The locals’ love for sports, is not only
expressed on the stands, in elite context,
but also in the form of exercise and training.
The municipality has 35 sports centers and
170 sports clubs.
www.herning.dk
Lots of exercise
and options
If you like to work out there are plenty of
opportunities for exercise in and around
Herning.
You could, for example, take a run on
Hjertestien - a 2.3 km long, illuminated
route with soft turf – or, do as some of
the local joggers do, and train cardio, by
running up and down the artwork Elia’s
giant steps.
Besides of being a freely accessible area
where you can work out with or without
a ball, with or without club membership,
Herning Football Exploratorium is a
complete rethink of football training
pitches.
If you prefer, you can grab your bike, and
take Alhedestien - the former
railway that stretches all the way from
Herning to Viborg, through river
landscapes and marshes. You can also
challenge your leg muscles on the roads
through the heather covered Trehøje
hills.
Then there are both Herning Svømmehal
(Herning Indoor pool) and DGI Vandkulturhuset (DGI Swim Centre), which also
houses a gym and a wellness area.
Right in front of DGI Huset Herning,
there is a basketball court, where the
only requirement is a ball and some
teammates.
Check visitherning.com for more exercise
options and routes.
Additional experiences
If you have time to spare, while working in Herning,
there are plenty of opportunities to experience after
hour events.
Maybe you fancy a concert at the
venue Fermaten, or at the underground scenes Kontrast or Rockstjernen.
Team Teatret offers throughout the year
their own performances, lectures and
touring shows for kids and adults alike.
Additionally, MCH offers each year a series
of concerts, shows, theater, sporting events
and exhibitions both in the national and
international league.
Socle du Monde and Cobra
Birk, a suburb just east of downtown
Herning, is an outstanding area. It is
comprised of some of the region’s higher
education institutions for example TEKO,
offering design educations and the university department AU Herning, as well as innovative companies and two art museums.
HEART - Herning Museum of Contemporary
Art, which is worth a visit to experience both
the interior and the exterior. The museum
contains an internationally recognized collection of Piero Manzoni’s works, such as
“Jordens sokkel” - “Socle du Monde”, the
7,200 meter long line “Linea Lunga” and the
modestly small but very famously canned
“Merde d’ artiste”. The museum, build in
2009, was designed by the American architect Steven Holl.
On the opposite side of the street is the Carl
-Henning Pedersen & Else Alfelts Museum
with its collection of Cobra art, whose colorful universe already begins on the museum’s exterior, which Carl-Henning Pedersen
created with his imaginative stroke.
But you do not need to go to a museum for
an art experience in Birk. The whole area
is characterized by art, among others, the
Sculpture Park, the Geometric Gardens, the
1,000 m2 big ceramic frieze “The Play of
Imagination around the Wheel of Life” and
Hernings unofficial landmark, the 22 meter
high sculpture Elia, created by artist Ingvar
Cronhammar.
Shopping and good food
There are also good opportunities in
Herning if you prefer shopping, partly in
Herning Shopping Centre, with its 75 specialty shops, which is rated as one of the
best shopping centers in Denmark and partly in Herning City, with a combination of
shops, cafes, restaurants and summer season market square activities, which makes
the city a cozy shopping experience.
If you should have a need to go for an
evening stroll, it may be a good idea to head
over to Østergade in the city center, where
a number of pubs, bars and restaurants
are concentrated and where - especially
on weekends – you will find live music and
dance.

Facts
Close to nearly everything.
From Herning, it is not far to a very wide range of
Danish experiences.
Denmark’s second largest city, Aarhus, is a good
hour’s drive to the east. The city is named European Capital of Culture in 2017 and comprises of,
among others, the art museum Aros and a very
lively university environment.
In the opposite direction lies the North Sea, offering unpolished nature, endless possibilities for
relaxation, outdoor activities and fresh air.
Legoland is situated 45 minutes to the south and
is one of the country’s greatest tourist attractions
for families with children and other playful and
curious visitors.
Copenhagen also offers many adventure opportunities such as Tivoli or the Royal Theatre, and is
reachable within 2-4 hours, depending on
whether one is traveling by plane, car or train.

steak city
The Herning cuisine offers a wide range of options
and restaurants, inspired by both the Japanese
and Chinese, the Italian and French and traditional
Danish cuisine.
Herning also offers, which are in several
circumstances compared with the innovative
settler culture from the United States, several
restaurants in the U.S. steak tradition, where a
man is a man and a steak is a steak.
The best known restaurant is probably A Hereford
Beefstouw, which was established in Lund, just
outside Herning in 1971. Today the chain consists
of 10 quality steakhouses in Denmark, Nuuk in
Greenland, Gothenburg in Sweden and Adelaide in
Australia, as well as the original restaurant in Lund
and a restaurant in the multi arena Jyske Bank
BOXEN.
The chain also manage three breweries - including
a former bank basement in Herning, where you can
enjoy food and beverage in an old bank vault.
Another known Danish restaurant chain - Bone’s has its origin in Herning, where you can still visit
the original family restaurant in a former horse
stable in the middle of the pedestrian zone.
And now that we are referring to steak in specific
environments, there is also Charolais Kroen, which
is housed in a former Free Church at the railway
station.

Water in Jyske
Bank Boxen
Parts of the Olympic pool from London 2012 are
in use when Europe’s best swimmers compete
for medals in the water at Jyske Bank BOXEN on
12-15 December.
Facts
Two pools were built in Jyske Bank BOXEN – a
competition pool and a warm-up pool.
The two pools hold a total of 2.4 million litres of
water, which comes from Jyske Bank BOXEN.
With a flow of approximately 67 cubic metres per
hour, it took a full day to fill the competition pool
and 14 hours to fill the warm-up pool.
The water must maintain a constant temperature
of 26°C. It takes respectively 43 and 33 hours to
warm up the water to the requested temperature,
and respectively 15 and 10 hours to change the
water to limpid swimming-pool water.
Regular electronic and manual checks are performed to ensure that the water has the proper
pH value.
The two pools will be disassembled from 16-21
December.
The water will be transported directly to a treatment plant in Herning.
It took 10 days to transform
the Jyske Bank BOXEN multi
arena into an international swim stadium
with two pools – a competition pool and
a warm-up pool. The pools are built from
scratch and surrounded by an approximately
two-metre-tall pool deck that is flush with
the pool edges, while the arena’s stands have
been adapted to the new setup.
The work of transforming the arena into a
swim stadium began on Sunday 1 December – just a few hours after Depeche Mode
gave a concert in Jyske Bank BOXEN – and
both pools were ready to use on Sunday 8
December.
The work was performed by the Italian
company Myrtha Pools, who are specialists
www.mch.dk
in the field. The Italians have previously
supplied pools for the 2013 World Aquatics
Championships in Barcelona, the 2012 World
Swimming Championships in Istanbul and
the most recent Olympics in London. The
pool deck was delivered and installed by the
Danish company Nordic, in cooperation with
MCH.
Holding 2.4 million litres of water, the two
pools are constructed in a steel frame held in
place by struts and wire that form the basis
for the pool floor. The pools are connected by
a Defender filter that cleans the water and
keeps it at a constant temperature of 26°C.
The water comes from Jyske Bank BOXEN
and additional water will be added regularly
during the championships to keep the water
level steady.
European Short
Course Swimming
Championships 2013
Although Denmark is a true “swimming nation”,
the European Short Course Swimming Championships in 2013 is the first international swimming
championship for seniors ever held on Danish soil.
There are several competitions over a
period of four days, from 12-15 December,
each day being concluded with medal ceremonies.
There are 40 qualifying sessions and 58
semifinals/finals over the period of four
days.
About 600 swimmers from 41 countries
participate at the European Short Course
Swimming Championships. Denmark is
participating with the biggest team ever
in an international championship. With 29
danish swimmers, the host country has one
of the bigest teams together with France,
Russia, Italy and Germany.
There are excellent chances for Danish
medal winners in the European Championships. Lotte Friis, Jeanette Ottesen Gray and
Rikke Møller Pedersen are designated as the
leading medalists.
Rikke Møller Pedersen changed in September 2013 club to Herning Svømmeklub.
MCH Messecenter Herning and the multi
arena, Jyske Bank BOXEN, houses the European Swimming Championships. During
a period of 10 days, two swimming basins
were build, one for competitions and the
other for warm ups, after which a raised
floor was established around the basins, so
that the poolside is on ground level.
Both basins are 25 meters long (called
short course in swimming terms).
It takes 2.4 million litres of water to fill
the two basins.
It takes 24 hours to fill them and 10 hours
to empty them again.
On the event days, the water will
maintain a temperature of 26°C.
There is room for 6,300 spectators in the
arena every day.
About 350 volunteers are involved in the
conduct of the championships.
150 people from the press will cover the
event. Danish TV2 will send a total of 20
hours of TV from the championships.
Beside the championships, Danish and
international clubs have the possibility to
join a swim-camp with accommodation in
one of MCH’s adjoining halls and experience
the championships, both as a spectator or
to take a dip in the special build swimming
basin.
The Danish Swimming Federation consist of 245 clubs, with a total of 155,000
members, of which 8,500 are registered
competitive swimmers with a license.
The European Swimming Championships
2013 is organized in collaboration with the
Danish Swimming Federation, Herning
Swim Club, Herning Municipality and Sport
Event Denmark.

In Herning, there are not far between experiences, whether you are looking for a place
to eat or have a beer, listen to music or just
shop.
Actually, you can navigate between culture,
concerts and sporting events simply by
placing only a few “pins” on the city map:
Herning City and the town square, with
Herning Church at the center, offers both

shopping, dining, and night life venues.
MCH in the city’s southern outskirts with
exhibition halls, Jyske Bank BOXEN and MCH
Arena Herning attracts numerous international and national exhibitions, concerts
and sporting events.

Herning, there is an exciting collection
of art exhibitions. Included are the two
museums HEART and Carl-Henning Pedersen & Else Alfelts Muesum, the outdoor
Sculpture Park and Herning’s unofficial
landmark sculpture, Elia.
If you have not satisfied your shopping
gene in the shops downtown, there is not
far to the herningCentret (shopping centre),
which incidentally, is rated as one of the
best in Denmark.
