History

The custom hall in the old station building when the railway station was a border railway station

Three oak coffins were uncovered from graves in the Bronze Age mound Guldhøj in Holt near Vamdrup in 1891, and are now on display at the National Museum (Nationalmuseet).

After the Second War of Schleswig in 1864, where Denmark lost Southern Jutland to Germany until 1920, Vamdrup became a border town, where the railway station had important function as a border railway station. Kolding Sydbaner, a railway company that existed from 1911 to 1948, also had a railway line to Vamdrup.

In connection with the industrialisation in the 1950s and 1960s Vamdrup flourished again with many new companies.

Economy

Danish Air Transport has its head office in the town. [3]
