'''Hørning''' is a town in central [[Denmark]] with a population of 8,462 (1 January 2024),<ref name="BY3">[https://m.statbank.dk/TableInfo/BY3?lang=en BY3: Population 1. January by rural and urban areas, area and population density] The Mobile Database from [[Statistics Denmark]]</ref> located in [[Skanderborg Municipality]] on the peninsula of [[Jutland]]. Today Hørning is a southwestern suburb of [[Aarhus]] located between Aarhus and [[Skanderborg]].

Hørning should not be mistaken for [[Herning]] which is the bigger, more metropolitan city in Jutland where the regional train passing through Hørning is also destined to.

==Etymology==
Hørning got its name from a bend in the main road that runs through the town. In Danish, a bend can be loosely translated to "Hjørne" (Corner), and "ing" (People) is a typical ending for city names in Denmark, dating the name to the Middle Ages. Over the years the "j" disappeared, and thus the name became Hørning. The bend in the main road is close by "Hørning Kro", the town inn. On the other side of the bend, you'll find the old [[rytterskole|rider school]], which was a commoners' school built by [[Frederick IV of Denmark|King Frederick IV]].
