In the usual good blend of seriousness and humor could Christian The Fourth´s Guild the 16th of December 2017 celebrate its first 75 years.
What was originally a protest against the occupation forces, has through the years developed into one of Aalborg´s most well-known culture- and tourist-attractions – yet still with a good mixture of seriousness and good humor as a leading principle. Christian The Fourth´s Guild could the 16th of December celebrate its 75th years anniversary of its foundation in 1942 in the dark years of the Second World War.>>>
The setting was perfect and could scarcely be better when chief-bencher Niels Voss Hansen, thirst-master Palle Bjørnstrup and troubadour Kjeld Trudslev, all from Christian The Fourth´s Guild appeared in Aalborghus Gymnasium in order to donate a Good Spirit-prize to Mads Aaby Gaunby.
The gymnasium – which is an upper secondary school – was already in a festive mood as this day also was the gymnasium´s anniversary. In this connection it was a strange coincidence that Christian The Fourth´s Guild the following day could celebrate its 75th years anniversary.>>>
The annual presentation of donations from the foundation took place - as usual – on the first Wednesday in December in Duus’ Vinkælder. The presentation was carried out by the Board of the Foundation: Former mayor Kaj Kjær, former CEO of Aalborg Kongres & Kultur Center, Ernst Trillingsgaard, member of the County Council, cand.jur. Vibeke Gamst, chief bencher Niels Voss Hansen and the administrator of the foundation, bencher Per Svensson.>>>
