At Langelinje Pier you will find one of Copenhagen's most famous tourist attractions: The sculpture of The Little Mermaid. 23 August 2013 she turned 100 years old.
Denmark's world-famous Little Mermaid statue turned 100 years young in 2013. She's had a tumultuous existence since she first appeared by the Copenhagen water front in 1913.
The most famous mermaid statue of them all, with a number of copies around the world, is the statue of The Little Mermaid from Hans Christian Andersen’s fairy tale, sitting on a rock at Langelinie in the harbor of Copenhagen, Denmark.
This miniature replica of the Little Mermaid sculpture depicted on our Christmas plate commemorates the sculpture's centennial anniversary. In 1913, art lover and brewer Carl Jacobsen (of Carlsberg beer) asked sculptor Edvard Eriksen to create a Little Mermaid sculpture based on Hans Christen Andersen's beloved Little Mermaid story.
The famous statue in Copenhagen’s harbor commemorates the sad little Hans Christian Andersen tale of the mermaid who gave up everything for the hopeless love of a prince. Solvang’s replica was obtained by Earl and Dolores Peterson, owners of Denmarket Square, where the Little Mermaid sculpture stands, surrounded by a fountain and small, brick reflecting pool.
The bronze replica of Hans Christian Andersen's beloved fairytale mermaid was certainly cute. But I found the city's less famous mermaid to be much cooler (and totally crowd-free). The “Genetically Modified Little Mermaid” is on a square by Dahlerups Pakhus, an old warehouse in the Copenhagen Harbour, just a short walk from the real statue.
