Snderjyllands Amt (English: South Jutland County) is a county in southern Denmark, on the peninsula of Jutland. Northern Schleswig (Nordschleswig) is the German language name on South Jutland, the geographical area covering the southernmost 30 kilometers of the Jutland Peninsula. The area was historically a part of the Duchy of Schleswig (Danish Slesvig), that was annexed by Prussia after the Second War of Schleswig (1864), but ceded to Denmark after a plebiscite in 1920. Today an ethnic German minority lives in South Jutland. The major towns are Snderborg, Padborg, Tnder, Aabenraa and Haderslev.
