Focusing on the multicultural border region of Sleswig, this analysis delves into the complexities of identity formation among local inhabitants identifying as Germans or Danes. It emphasizes the fluidity of national sentiments, particularly within national minorities, and employs a variety of historical evidence, including language statistics and personal narratives. By examining both German and Danish sources, the study offers fresh perspectives on national identity in border regions and addresses a significant gap in English-language historiography regarding Sleswig's modern history.
