Ryslinge Municipality

Ryslinge Municipality

Until January 1, 2007 Ryslinge municipality was a municipality (Danish, "kommune") in the former Funen County on the island of Funen in central Denmark. The municipality covered an area of 82 km², and had a total population of 6,924 (2005). Its last mayor was Gunnar Landtved, a member of the Venstre (Liberal Party) political party. The main town and the site of its municipal council was the town of Ryslinge.

The municipality was created in 1970 as the result of a "kommunalreform" ("Municipality Reform") that merged a number of existing parishes:
* Gislev Parish (Gudme Herred)
* Kværndrup Parish (Sunds Herred)
* Ryslinge Parish (Gudme Herred)

Ryslinge municipality ceased to exist as the result of "Kommunalreformen" ("The Municipality Reform" of 2007). It was merged with Broby, Faaborg, Ringe, and Årslev municipalities to form the new Faaborg-Midtfyn municipality. This created a municipality with an area of 638 km² and a total population of 51,144 (2005). The new municipality belongs to Region Syddanmark ("South Denmark Region").
