Rødding Kommune (German: Kommune Rödding ) was until 2007 a municipality in the Sønderjyllands Amt ( North Schleswig ) in southwestern Denmark . It existed since 1970 and consisted of the communities Hjerting , Hygum (German: Hügum ), Jels , Lintrup , Øster Lindet (German: Oster-Linnet ), Rødding (German: Rödding ), Skodborg (German: Schottburg ) and Skrave . Although the area for centuries the Duchy of Schleswig was one and always after 1920 the Office Haderslev was a member and from 1970 Sønderjyllands office, the local council decided in view of the forthcoming municipal reform for 2007 early to orient themselves toward the north and the large municipality Vejen with center Vejen to join. This regulation came into force on January 1, 2007 and also meant the end of Rødding Municipality.

In 1844 the theologian Grundtvig opened the first European folk high school in Rødding , which was moved to Askov in 1865 as a result of the German-Danish War .
