You can prove in the visa application procedure that you have sufficient financial means, for example in order to demonstrate that you are able to meet your living costs, with a blocked or limited-withdrawal account (“Sperrkonto”) in Germany, in which you pre-pay a certain amount of money and from which you can only withdraw a fixed amount per month.

Technically every bank may grant you a blocked account, but the embassy is not aware of any banks in Denmark that provide this service at the moment.

You can find more information and a list of providers in Germany here.
