The old Town Hall on the square in Randers with statue of Niels Ebbesen in front
On November 2., 1882, the danish, national hero Niels Ebbesen finally received his monument of honour at Rådhustorvet in Randers. Niels Ebbesen (app. 1318-85) went down in history as the patriot who set Denmark free of German rule. The year was 1340, and Jutland was pledged to the German Count Gert III. What happened was that Niels Ebbesen separated the count's head from his body in one stroke and thus set Jutland free. The material of the statue is made out of canons from the warship Dannebrog and it was executed by the artist F. E. Ring. ()
