    the reason so many Danes moved to New Zealand and called their town Dannevirke was that in 1864 we lost the defensive fortress Dannevirke in a war to Germany and southern Denmark.. and all the Danes who lived in the lost country were no longer allowed to speak Danish or write in Danish or to have any Danish things according to German law and therefore move the great many from the German dictatorship that was placed over them... so you can say it was political refugees who started this city. greetings from a Dane
