Fredericia was almost selected as the Danish capital, due to its central location and large port; but the costs from building the necessary government buildings and building a palace for the royal family, grew too big so the plans were scrapped and Copenhagen remained the capital.
Fredericia valiti oma keskse asukoha ja suure sadama tõttu peaaegu ka Taani uueks pealinnaks, kuid vajaminevate valitsushoonete ja kuningliku perekonna palee ehitamise kulud kasvasid liiga suureks ning seetõttu plaanist loobuti ja riigi pealinnaks jäi Kopenhaagen.
