Billund Municipality Billund Municipality was formed during the municipal reformation of Denmark in 2007. The old municipalities of Grindsted and Billund were bound together, and became part of the Region of Southern Denmark. With 26,500 inhabitants and an area of 540.18 km2, Billund Municipality is among the smallest of 98 municipalities in Denmark. The former Billund and Grindsted municipalities were different, but share distinctive features which were united into the common municipality. This includes entrepreneurship, and in the past 100 years this area has been recognized as one of Denmark’s most prosperous municipalities. Grindsted’s growth began in 1914 when the first train steamed into its newly built station. Within a few years the city was a railway junction, creating growth across the region. As automobiles became popular, the trains stopped. But in near future, Billund will again have a train station. Billund's development began to bloom in the 1930s. At that time about 250 people lived here, of which 7 were working in a toy factory. Today, LEGO employs 4,200 people in Billund and the city is a unique example of a so-called Company Town in Denmark. 4 Newcomer Services An offer for newcomers in Billund Municipality If you’ve just moved here – or are considering moving to Billund Municipality – you are welcome to contact relocation coordinator Marianne Witte at +45 2012 3133 or mwi@billund.dk An opportunity for a good start We can offer assistance, advice and guidance.
