I live in Denmark where I do not hear Adhaan. Are Adhaan and Iqamah (or one of them) obligatory for each prayer?

Answer

If a person offers his Salaat at home whether alone or in congregation, then both Adhaan and the Iqaamat will be Mustahabb for him on condition that the Adhaan and Iqaamat of the Musjid of that area or town has already been called out. This is so because the Adhaan and Iqaamat which is Sunnat-e-Muakkadah for the area is sufficient for all the residents of that area.
