Text in Danish. In our days living in a city, most Danes and many cares, of course, for their settlement. This book is for those who are dealing with the roots of today's cities. The medieval town, which stands in focus, is of crucial importance for the Danish bydannelse. In this time there was about 100 cities. Most of our current cities and the towns, which in our day is the largest, grew up. This book is about the most visible relic of the middle ages in the cities, including churches and monasteries, and on the winding gadenet from the middle ages, which we still use. But we also hear about the many objects and installations, as archaeologists have emerged, particularly in recent years. Finally depicted life in towns and cities from the realm of written sources. There are chapters on urban control whether merchants, of artisans, women and religious life. Overall, this is a comprehensive preparation of the Danish medieval towns, which have been missed by many, and that will be a standard work.
