Austria-Denmark relations are foreign relations between Austria and Denmark. Austria have an embassy in Copenhagen. Denmark have an embassy in Vienna. Both countries are full members of the Council of Europe, of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, and of the European Union. Diplomatic relations were established on 19 December 1925.
History
Friendly relations between Austria and Denmark were a consequence of geopolitics. They had collaborated as allies against Sweden in 1643-45 and 1657-60. Torsten Schlichtkrull points out that in the portrait of Ferdinand in Athanasius Kircher’s book, the Archduke is wearing the Order of the Elephant, the highest Danish order of chivalry.
Second Schleswig War
Main article: Second Schleswig WarThe Second Schleswig War was the second military conflict as a result of the Schleswig-Holstein Question. It began on 1 February 1864, when Prussian forces crossed the border into Schleswig.
Denmark fought Prussia and Austria. Like the First Schleswig War (1848–51), it was fought for control of the duchies because of succession disputes concerning the duchies of Holstein and Lauenburg when the Danish king died without an heir acceptable to the German Confederation. Decisive controversy arose due to the passing of the November Constitution, which integrated the Duchy of Schleswig into the Danish kingdom in violation of the London Protocol.
Reasons for the war were the ethnic controversy in Schleswig and the co-existence of conflicting political systems within the Danish unitary state.
The war ended on 30 October 1864, when the Treaty of Vienna caused Denmark's cession of the Duchies of Schleswig, Holstein, and Saxe-Lauenburg to Prussia and Austria. It was the last victorious conflict of the Austrian Empire/Austria-Hungary in its history.
In 1927, an agreement on free visas was signed in Berlin.
Austrian Refugees
12,000 children from Vienna came to stay with Danish families for between three and six months at a time. The children came from families in Vienna, which was badly ravaged by hunger and cold after the First World War.
Trade
Austria have a trade delegation in Copenhagen.
The trade between Austria and Denmark increased from January to August 2010. Austrian exports to Denmark increased by almost 4%, mainly due to export growth in some important industrial sectors. Exports of pharmaceutical products increased by 8% and 20%.
Melchior Lorck
Main article: Melchior LorckMelchior Lorck was a renaissance painter, draughtsman, and printmaker of Danish-German origin. He produced the most thorough visual record of the life and customs of Turkey in the 16th century, to this day a unique source. He was also the first Danish artist of whom a substantial biography is reconstructable and a substantial body of artworks is attributable. Lorck returned to Western Europe in the autumn of 1559. In 1560 he is documented in Vienna, where he stayed until 1566.

It is likely that he met his other brother, the adventurous Andreas, in their hometown and learned how Andreas had just fallen steeply from favour, and perhaps realized that the name Lorck was not advantageous to flash at the Danish court. Anyway, Melchior turned south while his brother entered the service of the enemy and made the bad reputation of his name even worse.
