Aalborg - Ålborg (English spelling)

Japanese: オールボー - おーるぼー(英語表記)Ålborg
Aalborg - Ålborg (English spelling)

A city in northern Denmark. It is located on the south shore of Limfjord, a waterway that connects the North Sea and Kattegat. Its population of 162,264 (2002) is the fourth largest in the country. Various industries, such as cement manufacturing and agricultural product exports, have developed, and together with Nordsøndby on the opposite shore, it forms an industrial zone. The name of the city, Alabu (a town in the deep water), is engraved on coins minted around 1040. It flourished as a trading center for herring and other products, and in 1342 it gained city autonomy, and in 1554 a bishop's seat was established. It was later devastated by civil wars and other events, but was rebuilt as a modern city at the end of the 19th century. There are notable old buildings such as Aalborg Castle (1539), Jens Bang's House (1623-24), and Jørn Olofsen's House (1616).

デンマーク北部の都市。北海とカテガット海峡を結ぶ水路であるリムフィヨルド南岸に位置する。人口16万2264(2002)は同国第4位。セメント工業、農産品の輸出など、各種産業が発達し、対岸のノェアソンビュとともに工業地帯を形成している。1040年ごろの鋳造貨幣にAlabu(水深部の町)と当地の名が刻まれている。ニシンなどの交易の中心地として栄え、1342年に都市の自治権を得て、1554年に司教座が置かれた。その後、内乱などにより荒廃し、19世紀末に近代都市として復興した。オールボー城(1539)、イェンス・バングの家(1623~24)、ヨーン・オロフセン館(1616)など注目すべき古い建物がある。
