Jutland of Kiel. The largest cities in the German part of Jutland or the Jutland Peninsula are Kiel and Flensburg. Geologically the Mid Jutland Region and the North Jutland Region as well as the Capital Region of Denmark are located in the north of Denmark which is rising because of post-glacial rebound. Jutland has historically been one of the three lands of Denmark, the other two being Scania and Zealand. Before that, according to Ptolemy, Jutland or the "Cimbric Chersonese" was the home of Teutons, Cimbri and Charudes. Many Angles, Saxons and Jutes migrated from Continental Europe to Great Britain starting
Jutland horse enthusiasts to be willing workers. Although compact in size, the Jutland is a strong, powerful horse that was used to transport carriages and heavy goods. An 1897 publication by the United States Bureau of Foreign Commerce noted the ability of the horse to pull carriages, and stated, "For this class of work and for heavy draft generally there is probably no better animal than the Jutland horse—a heavy, powerful beast." The origins of the breed are not fully documented, but some evidence points to the ancestors of the Jutland being used by the Vikings during the early 9th century. Images
