Griffenfeldsgade

Griffenfeldsgade is a street in the Nørrebro district of Copenhagen, Denmark, running from Nørrebrogade in the northeast to Åboulevard on the border to Frederiksberg in the southwest from where it continues as H. C. Ørsteds Vej.

The street has a multiethnic character and is home to a number of African specialty stores, coffee shops and restaurants.

Griffenfeldsgade is named after the Holstein statesman Peter Schumacher Griffenfeld, who served as Danish Chancellor from 1673.

When the German Wehrmacht occupied Denmark on 9 April all the lists of party members, subscribers and magazine sellers were burned, but the Danish police had already secured the addresses.

During the occupation Griffenfeldsgade was scene of several firefights between the Danish resistance and representatives of the occupying power.
