The Landowners (Danish: Grundejerne) is a local political party set in Solrød Municipality.

Danish is a North Germanic language spoken by around six million people, principally in Denmark and in the region of Southern Schleswig in northern Germany, where it has minority language status. Also, minor Danish-speaking communities are found in Norway, Sweden, Spain, the United States, Canada, Brazil, and Argentina. Due to immigration and language shift in urban areas, around 15–20% of the population of Greenland speak Danish as their first language.

The municipality covers an area of 40 km², and has a total population of 21,582 (2014). Its mayor is Niels Hörup, a member of the Venstre political party. The municipal seat is Solrød Strand.
