Source-derived summary

Until 1 January 2007 Nørre-Snede was a municipality (Danish, kommune) in the former Vejle County on the Jutland peninsula in central Denmark. The municipality covered an area of 254 km2 (98 sq mi), and had a total population of 7,266 (2005). Its last mayor was Uffe Henneberg, a member of the Venstre (Liberal Party) political party. The main town and the site of its municipal council was the town of Nørre Snede.

The municipality was created in 1970 as the result of a kommunalreform ("Municipality Reform") that

merged a number of existing parishes:

Ejstrup Parish

Klovborg Parish

Nørre-Snede Parish

Nørre-Snede municipality ceased to exist as the result of Kommunalreformen ("The Municipality Reform" of 2007). It was merged with existing Brande and Ikast municipalities to form the new Ikast-Brande municipality. This created a municipality with an area of 768 km2 (297 sq mi) and a total population of 39,371 (2005). The new municipality belonged to Region Midtjylland ("Mid-Jutland Region").

Editorial summary

Editorial reviewA dependable orientation record for establishing vocabulary, names and a first evidence trail.

The account is most persuasive where Nørre-Snede, Municipality and former can be independently traced.
Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as former municipality in Denmark. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.

Evidence profile

Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 9, 2025. The linked authority identifier is Q1812841. Authority coordinates are 55.964, 9.393. 2 of 2 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 2007, 2005 and 1970.

Critical limits

A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
