Danish culture is a definite part of Flensburg. So are the Danish schools. The Duborg Skolen was founded directly after the referendum on the German-Danish border demarcation (1920). Classes started in a private flat and the school building was erected in 1922. Architecturally, it is in the tradition of the "bedre byggeskik" ("better building culture"), the Danish variant of the German Heimatschutz (homeland protection) style. The school opened in 1924. In the beginning, Flensburg's mayor Hermann Todsen insinuated that "enemies of Germany" were growing up there. These reservations have long been a thing of the past. Today, more than 1,000 pupils from the Danish minority study at the school. For the graduation ceremony, they parade through the city wearing student caps. Some also jump into the harbour basin, where one or two hats can be seen floating to the sea afterwards.
