Jutland, projection of northern Europe forming the continental portion of Denmark. The peninsula is bounded to the west and north by the North Sea and the Skagerrak and to the east by the Kattegat and the Little Belt. The Chersonesus Cimbrica, or Cimbric Chersonese, of ancient geography, it was subsequently named for the Jutes (a Germanic people) and includes, in its larger sense, the German state of Schleswig-Holstein. Politically, as the result of the Treaty of Versailles of 1919, Jutland ends southward at Flensburg (Flensborg) Fjord and includes the islands north of the Limfjorden. Area 11,496 square miles (29,775 square km).
