Ewaldsgade

Ewaldsgade was created by Frederik Christopher Bülow, the inspector at Københavns Ladegård, who acquired large areas of land in Frederiksberg and Nørrebro, selling it off in lots for urban development.

Ladegårdsåen had still not been covered and Bülow therefore constructed a private bridge across the canal to connect the new street to Ladegårdsvej.

The land in Nørrebro was generally built over with high-density apartment buildings for the working class.

Due to the proximity to Peblinge Lake, Ewaldsgade was, however, reserved for more exclusive homes for members of the bourgeoisie.

3 is the former headquarters of Kvindeligt Arbejderforbund, a labour union for women now part of Fagligt Fælles Forbund.
