The story behind it
Founded in 2016, NORDEN celebrates Schleswig-Holstein’s historical ties to its northern neighbors (like Viking heritage and Hanseatic trade). It brings artists from across the Baltic region to the Schlei fjord area, reflecting regional cooperation and cultural exchange. The festival name itself (meaning 'north') underscores local pride in Northern European identity.
