Kongernes Jelling - Home of the Viking Kings

Kongernes Jelling - Home of the Viking Kings

The Bluetooth technology is celebrating it’s 25th anniversary this year.
The technology is implemented in billions of devices all over the world and has become a part of our everyday lives. But did you know, that both the name and the iconic rune logo is inspired by the Danish Viking King Harald Bluetooth from Jelling?
The American engineer Jim Kardach chose the name of the Danish king who excelled at creating connections in the Viking age. The name was just supposed to be a temporary working
title, but now it has had a triumphal success all across the globe for a quarter of a century.
The anniversary is naturally going to be celebrated under the headline "Bluetooth is Coming Home". Here 25 years of technology history meets 1000 years Viking history.
We are celebrating it the 10th – 11th October, where several of the founders of Bluetooth® are joining us from USA, The Netherlands, Germany and Sweden.
As a part of the celebration, we are opening a new special exhibition about Bluetooth in Jelling on October 10th.

Experience Center in beautiful surroundings

The visitor and experience center at Kongernes Jelling - Home of the Viking Kings lies in the middle of the monument complex around Jelling Church. At the Experience Center we tell of the Viking kings Gorm and Harald, their rune-stones, the huge ship-setting and the gigantic palisade which was built over a thousand years ago. Admission is free.
