Københavns Roklub

Three KR members, Edgar Aabye, Eugen Schmidt and Charles Winckler won gold in tug of war at the 1900 Summer Olympics, participating on a mixed team alongside three Swedish athletes.

In 1902, KR inaugurated a new boathouse at Djævleøen (Devil's Isle) in the South Harbour, now Kalvebod Brygge.

The club's current boathouse was inaugurated in connection with its 75th anniversary in 1941 at an event attended by King Christian and crown prince Frederik.

[1] Københavns Roklub is based at Tømmergravsgade 13 in the Enghave Brygge area of Copenhagen's South Harbour.

Københavns Roklub regularly competes across Denmark at all levels and has a broad membership base, from complete novices and juniors through to senior oarsmen and veterans.

Københavns Roklub hosts Port of Copenhagen, part of DFfR's long-distance tournament.
