The Tscherning Monument is found on Himmelbjerg, or Heaven’s Hill. This high point holds a huge significance in the Danish consciousness as the home of those who agitated, through frequent public meetings, for increased freedom and democracy. Among these was Colonel Tscherning, a nineteenth century member of the constituent assembly and advocate of a full parliamentary constitution. The stone monument contains a bronze medallion portraying the colonel and was unveiled in 1883.
