Christiansfeld is a town within the Kolding municipality with a population of 2,898 (1 January 2013). It was founded in 1773 by the Moravian Church and named after the Danish King Christian VII. To encourage construction, King Christian VII promised a 10-year tax holiday for the city and paid 10% of the construction costs of new houses. In 1864, Christiansfeld and the rest of Schleswig was ceded to Prussia as a result of Denmark's defeat in the Second Schleswig War. It remained a part of Germany until 1920 when, as a part of a plebiscite called for by the Treaty of Versailles, Northern Schleswig voted to re-join Denmark. After reunification, the Moravian church lost some of the rights it had obtained as a part of the town's founding in the 18th century. For example, it no longer had the ability to choose the town's leadership, paving the way for the town's first Danish mayor who was not a member of the church in 1920.[3] The church also sold its schools at this time due to the declining membership of its congregation. From 1970 to 2007, the town was the administrative seat of Christiansfeld Municipality, but it lost this status and was placed in the Kolding Municipality as a part of the Municipal Reform of 2007 (Kommunalreformen 2007). The houses in the town of Christiansfeld are built from yellow brick and detailed with fine craftsmanship, giving the town a unique character and making is a popular tourist destination. In 2013, Christiansfeld applied to be added to the list of UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Sites.
