Manheim is a heathen hof in Korinth in Faaborg-Midtfyn Municipality, Denmark. The building opened in 2016 and is dedicated to the Norse gods. It is owned by the designer Jim Lyngvild, a practitioner of Heathenry.
The building was built at the instigation of the Danish designer Jim Lyngvild and is the first pagan hof in Denmark since the time of the Middle Ages. [1] It was built in three weeks by Lyngvild and a group of friends, and was finished by the end of March 2016. [2]
The inauguration took place on 30 May 2016. Participating at the event were Lyngvild's friends Pia Kjærsgaard, Speaker of the Danish Parliament, who cut the ribbon, and Inger Støjberg, the Danish Minister for Integration, who performed the naming ceremony, naming the building Manheim (lit. 'Home of Man') in beer. [3] [4] Kjeld Holm, a former Bishop of Aarhus, called it "grotesque" that the two politicians had participated at the event, saying that they never would have done the same for a mosque. [4]
Manheim is located near Lyngvild's home, the "viking castle" Ravnsborg, at the town Korinth on Funen. [1] It is 12 meters high and has a floor area of 6 × 13 meters. [1] [5] The design was inspired by the excavations of the Uppåkra temple in Scania. [5]

The 1964 Danish Cup final was a men's association football match between Esbjerg fB and Odense KFUM played at Københavns Idrætspark on 7 May 1964. It was the final match to determine the winner of the 1963–64 Danish Cup, the 10th season of the Danish national-wide annual football knockout competition, the Danish Cup, open to all DBU member clubs. This was the first time that two sides had ever met in a domestic cup competition and only the third time in a competitive league game. For Odense KFUM, the match represented their first opportunity to win a title on a national level, having never reached the quarterfinals in previous seasons in the cup's current incarnation, while Esbjerg fB were participating in their third cup final, having lost on both previous occasions. This was the third consecutive year the tournament's final featured a team from Odense.
