Bodenhoffs Plads

Bodenhoffs Plads is an area located in the north-eastern part of Christianshavn, Copenhagen, Denmark.

The site is separated from Grønlandske Handels Plads to the west by Christianshavns Kanal and by Trangraven from Holmen to the north.

Bodenhoffs Plads was originally separated from the rest of Christianshavn by a canal, just like Bjørnsholm, on the other side of Christianshavn Canal, which had been reclaimed some ten years prior by Andreas Bjørn.

The first naval ships constructed at Bodenhoffs Plads were Store Bælt (1782), Frederiksværn (1783) and Hvide Ørn (1784).

The shipyard at Bodenhodds plads was subsequently used for the construction ships of the Royal Danish Navy.

Ships constructed for the navy included Brevdrageren (1791), Allart (1807), Hvalrossen (1808) and Lolland (1810).

He then expanded the complex with Denmark's first canned food factory which made it possible to sell the meat to the many ships in the area.

[4] Hambro's partner, Andreas Nicolai Hansen, played a leading role in the operations of the site.

The northern part of the area was cleared by Dansk Totalenterprise in the early 1970s, except for a large warehouse from Islandske Handel.
