Sperrkonto: Opening a blocked account in Germany
One way of proving in the visa application procedure that you have sufficient financial means is a blocked bank account.

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.
