May I step in with a little nugget of information?
Over the years it has been spelled Kristiania or Christiania, by what name do we know it now please?

I think we had that before, wasn't it Copenhagen?

Copenhagen is København in Danish, and something like Köpenhavn in Swedish but pronounced Sherpenhaven....

Lived in Copenhagen for a year, Sydhaven, language is very odd, fairly easy but murdered in speaking, ‘Med’ for eat, pronounced ‘Mel’, Brondby is Brondbu, and the main shopping street is called Skrøget, pronounced Strerl I kid you not.

Everyone speaks perfect English so you never get chance to practise.

How about a supplementary Q for the time being.
What specifically does this sign relate to and for an extra helping why?
