Assens Municipality

Assens Municipality is a municipality (Danish, "kommune") in Region Syddanmark on the west coast of the island of Funen in central Denmark. The municipality covers an area of 513 km² and a total population of 42,054 (2008). Its mayor is Finn Brunse, a member of the Socialdemokraterne political party.

The municipality's main town and the site of its municipal council is the city of Assens.

The island of Helnæs is connected to the municipality by road. Ferry service connects the municipality at the city of Assens to the island of Bågø.

On January 1, 2007, the former Assens municipality was merged with Glamsbjerg, Haarby, Tommerup, Vissenbjerg and Aarup municipalities to form a new Assens municipality. This was part of the "Kommunalreformen" ("The Municipal Reform" of 2007). The former Assens municipality was formed in 1966 by combining the even-then existing Assens Municipality with seven other smaller municipalities located around it.
