== History == Tranbjerg was formerly a small rural village but is now a suburb of Aarhus about 10 kilometers south of the city center. Tranbjerg Church is a typical old Danish village church, built in the later part of the 1100s, but with several later adjustments and additions. It is dedicated to Saint Ursula and the eleven thousand handmaidens.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.tranbjergkirke.dk/kirken/ |title=Om Tranbjerg Kirke |publisher=tranbjerg Church |language=da |access-date=30 July 2017}}</ref> In 1737, King Christian VI gave charter to the Tranbjerg parish for the public school of Tranbjerg Skole. The school was placed right next to the church, but newer and larger schoolbuildings were erected elsewhere in the 1970s. In 2013, Tranbjerg Skole and Grønløkkeskolen - another local public school - merged to form the Tranbjergskolen public school.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.tranbjergskolen.dk/Faelles/NytFra/143/oss.pdf |title=OSS - Ofte stillede spørgsmål |publisher=Tranbjergskolen |language=da |access-date=30 July 2017}}</ref> Tranbjerg has a relatively extant center known as Center Syd (Center South). It developed in the later part of the 1800s, after Tranbjerg railway station opened in 1884. The train station transformed the village to a railway town, attracting industry and improving the trade options for local farmers. Tranbjerg Kro was built in 1885.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.tranbjerg-kro.dk/om-kroen/ |title=Tranbjerg Kro's Historie |publisher=Tranbjerg Kro |language=da|access-date=30 July 2017}}</ref> The train station was rebuilt and modernised in 1993.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.tranbjerglokalhistorie.dk/lokalhistorier/tranbjerg-station/ |title=Tranbjerg Station |publisher=Tranbjerg Lokalhistoriske Samling |language=da|access-date=30 July 2017}}</ref>
Tranbjerg Brugsforening, a local cooperative retailer, opened in 1918 as the cooperative idea flourished and took hold in Denmark. Kvickly Tranbjerg is built on the site of the former Tranbjerg Brugsforening headquarters.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.tranbjerglokalhistorie.dk/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/NielsJohansen.pdf |title=Niels Johansen |author=Harald Kvist |publisher=Tranbjerg Lokalhistoriske Samling |language=da |access-date=30 July 2017}}</ref>
The local sports association of AIA-Tranbjerg was also initiated in 1918 as a local department of the larger AIA (Arbejdernes Idrætsklub, Aarhus). Football has played a prominent role in the history of AIA-Tranbjerg.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.tranbjerglokalhistorie.dk/lokalhistorier/tranbjerg-station/ |title=Tranbjerg Station |publisher=Tranbjerg Lokalhistoriske Samling |language=da|access-date=30 July 2017}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.aia-tranbjerg.dk/ |title=AIA-Tranbjerg |language=da|access-date=30 July 2017}}</ref>
