A place to be seenThis 1955 detailed drawing by Preben Hansen was the first choice for the location of Churchill in Frederiksberg and once the 4th of May kollegium had been chosen. There is no information currently available to reveal which person had given Hansen the exact instructions to imagine the bust in that location. He did however have connections with København University due to his role as a lecturer and an extraordinary professor in 1955. This role would have possibly brought him into contact with Professor Carsten Høeg who had a close relationship to the 4th of May kollegium in Frederiksberg.

draft Plan sets out thinking for churchill path of destiny (Memorial)
Recent observations of crowd movement in 2022 at the bust of Winston Churchill in Copenhagen have seen the need to create a hard surface directly in front of the bronze bust or alternatively relocate it away from its current location. This idea is one of many currently being explored.
The famous Churchill quotation; "In War - Resolution, In Defeat - Defiance, In Victory - Magnanimity and In Peace - Goodwill" will be inscribed in the stone and become a main feature to the attraction. The Churchill quotations selected by leaders who supported the project in 2005 will be placed in a path going towards Churchill. International consultations start in 2023 and will listen to all opinions as well as the feedback on social media channels. One of the goals will be to increase the flow of people and raise the level of interest in the bronze monument and the quotations wherever it is finally located. |
