Danasvej

Danasvej is a street in the Frederiksberg district of Copenhagen, Denmark, linking the Kampmannsgade embankment across St. Jørgen's Lake in the east with H. C. Ørsteds Vej in the west.

The Danas Plads buildings, built in 1906–1909 to a National Romantic design by Ulrik Plesner and Thorvald Bindesbøll, surrounds a rectangular, public space with greenery and a playground.

Quartermaster Georg Julius Wodroff purchased a piece of land at the site in 1698 and established the Vodroffgård watermill at the mouth of the Ladegård Canal.

In 1702, he obtained a 12-year monopoly on the manufacture of rolled barley and snus as well as on operating sharpening and polishing mills within a distance of three Danish miles from Copenhagen.

[1][2] Hartvig Marcus Frisch, director of the Royal Danish Greenland Company, owned the property from 1794 to 1803.

After his widow's death in 1847, Vodroffsgård passed to their daughter Emilie Augusta Zinn and her husband Niels Wolff.

[3] The western part of present-day Danasvej, from H. C. Ørstedsvej to Svend Træsts Vej, was created in 1769 and was then called Bernstorffsvej.

Ramm, who was a supporter of Scandinavism, named three of the new streets Danasvej, Sveasvej and Norsvej after Denmark, Sweden and Norway.

It was originally placed outside the Student Association's building on H. C. Andersens Boulevard but was moved to its current location in 1972.

The Albertslund Route of Copenhagen's network of super bikeways passes through the street.
