the Kiel-Altona line in Holstein had been completed three years earlier
In the 1830s, plans were being made by England and North Germany to
construct a railway line between the cities of Hamburg and Lübeck in
order to ease transport between the North Sea and the Baltic Sea. This
was frowned upon by the Copenhagen government, seeking to retain the
waterway traffic through Oresund, but in an attempt to preempt these
efforts, the Danish government set up the first Danish railway
commission in 1835 so as to establish the layout of a railway line
through the Duchy of Holstein.
Consequently, the railway between Altona and Kiel was opened by King
Christian VIII on September 18, 1844. However, the Duchy of Holstein was
only in personal union with Denmark, with the King of Denmark being Duke
of Holstein, and as a result of the Second War of Schleswig, Holstein
was ceded to the German Confederation in 1864. The railway line was not
the first in what constituted Denmark at the time (as Holstein was part
of the German Confederation), but it was nonetheless the first to be
built under the Danish monarchy.
