It was a great visit but not a state visit. A head of state cannot go on a state visit to his own country.

I remember when the embassy complex was opened 25 years ago.
Of course there were a lot of embassies, consulates, ministries and what not moving from Bonn to Berlin after the Reunification. Many former East German ministries and similar buildings simply weren't big enough.
In all that the Scandinavian countries decided: Let's be practical. We'll build a whole complex that would serve as both embassy but also a culture/show-case for Scandinavia - and share the costs.

It's hard to believe 1999 was 25 years ago
wow.This just makes sense, an embassy for all Scandinavian. Efficient and the collaborations can be great.
"In 1999, King Frederik's mother, Queen Margrethe, inaugurated the same embassy complex.
- Separately and yet together, said the Queen at the inauguration in Berlin."
Kongepar fortsætter besøg til nabolande og rejser til Tyskland

More on the visit,
"It is huge news. The Danish minority has always had a close bond with the Royal Family, and we remember with great pleasure when HM Queen Margrethe II visited us in 2019. We are very much looking forward to the fact that we will now have the opportunity to meet the Royal Couple and that we can show them how the Danish-minded in South Schleswig hold fast to and cultivate Danish language, culture and identity here in the region where it has historically always belonged. The visit will undoubtedly strengthen the bond between us and Denmark", says SSF chairman Gitte Hougaard-Werner.

I thought it was the Nordic countries who got together, not just the Scandinavian?
Yes, the Nordic countries. Therefore the Presidents of Iceland and Finland will also attend the 25th jubilee of the Nordic embassy complex.

Yep, his speech was in German. and as before he was praised for his German by the German press.
Always helps to be multilingual.
Would German be his 4th language? Danish, French and English the first 3?

That's great! Lovely to hear. I would think it might be his fourth learned. The photos/videos of the dinner are great! Love seeing all the Nordic Heads of State/Heirs together at an event like this! It appears to have been a great first day of the official visit! Oh and I loved seeing Gustav and Carina there as well!!
Found this video on YouTube of the official dinner. It includes the arrivals, some video inside the dinner and King Frederik's speech.

Tirsdag fortsætter kong Frederik og dronning Marys tiltrædelsesbesøg i Tyskland.

Børnene charmerede dronning Mary: Se den søde video
En gruppe fremmødte børn charmerede dronning Mary, da kongeparret i dag ankom til Kiel.
Dronning Mary i smukke efterårsfarver: Alt matcher!
Kong Frederik og dronning Mary har tirsdag formiddag taget hul på den anden og sidste dag af deres tiltrædelsesbesøg i Tyskland.
Gaverne var droppet: Men kong Frederik og dronning Mary har alligevel fået personlig gave, der kan pynte derhjemme
Kong Frederik og dronning Mary modtog ingen officielle gaver i Kiel, men en stor fan af kongehuset sikrede, at parret fik noget med.
Det er højst usædvanligt, at det drejer sig om en halv time: Sjælden hændelse ved kongeparrets besøg i Kiel
Ikke alt er gået efter planen tirsdag formiddag, hvor kong Frederik og dronning Mary skulle rejse fra Berlin til Kiel.
Den mest usædvanlige gave nogensinde: Da dronning Mary fik den, grinte hun
Da dronning Mary ankom til Flensborghus, blev hun overrasket med en gave, der må siges at være usædvanlig.
Hastede derfra: Alligevel måtte dronning Mary gøre én ting, før hun forlod Danevirke
Da kong Frederik og dronning Mary besøgte Danevirke, blev besøget kortet af. Før de forlod stedet, måtte dronning Mary gøre én ting.
King Frederik's speech today:
H.M. Kongens tale ved energikonferencen i Kiel den 22. oktober 2024

As a german I can testify that his german is very good. I don´t know, of course, if he could follow a discussion, but delivering a speech from a note, as a foreigner, was no problem for him.

It's nice to hear Frederik's German is good. Considering his first cousin Gustav of Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleburg who I believe he is close with is German, Frederik must have had plenty of opportunity to use his German over the years. In fact Prince Gustav and his wife Carina were present in Berlin for the Nordic Embassy events.

Not sure this is the case.... Normally, when the Sayn-Wittgensteins are invited for some danish festivities, they speak english!

I wondered if they used English, it makes sense. Although, I was thinking more when Frederik spent time in Germany, when he was much younger and also during the annual hunts in Germany that Frederik attends. I personally marvel at those with the ability to speak more than one language, i.e. a polyglot.

Alexander Stubb, the President of Finland, told today at his press conference in Germany that he and his wife, Victoria and Daniel, Haakon and Mette-Marit and the Presidential couple of Iceland went yesterday evening after the Federal President's dinner to Frederik and Mary's hotel and had an afterparty there.

It's nice to see that the Royal Run was also mentioned during this visit. To say that it has been a hit would be an understatement!
"A final question to the King was:
- Will the Royal Run come to the Danish minority?
To which the reply from King Frederik sounded laughing:
- You are not the first to ask about it. It was also talked about up here. But yes, next year you have to drive to Ribe, he replied. "

Love hearing that! I love the closeness not only of the Scandinavian royals but of the Nordic countries as a whole. Hope they had a great time. Having these connections is so important and the continental royals have always fostered these relationships on not just a diplomatic level but on a friendship and familial level as well! Bodies well for the future of these monarchies and royal families imo.
