Grundtvig Nikolai Frederik Severin
(1783—1872)

N F S Grundtvig is one of the most well-known personalities in the whole history of Danish culture. He was a clergyman, a poet, author of numerous hymns, a historian, politician and pedagogue. He conceived the ideas behind the Nordic folkhögskola ("Folk High School", /Residential/ College of Non-formal adult education, with long-term courses as the core of its work, Danish: Høiskole). Today there are great numbers of folkhögskolor in the Nordic countries and in other parts of the world, inspired by Grundtvig’s ideas on education. Likewise, his vision of a Nordic University, the so-called "Gothenburg-idea", has met and still meets with great interest.
