A short section of the street, between Prinsesse Charlottes Gade and Stevnsgade, has been closed to traffic and is now also known as Guldberg Byplads.

The oldest section of the street, between Nørrebrogade and Prinsesse Charlottes Gade, was initially called Thranesvej after merchant L. E. Thrane who owned a property at the site.

City engineer Charles Ambt created a masterplan for redevelopment of the area east of Prinsesse Charlottes Gade in 1899.

It opened in 1917 as one of several new public bath houses in the city but closed when private bathrooms had become common later in the century.

[2] The section from Guldbergsgade to Tagensvej follows the northwestern boundary of De Gamles By.

Copenhagen Health and Care Services (Sundheds- og Omsorgsforvaltningen) is based at No.

40 stands a granite sculpture, Guldskat (Treasure of Gold), created by Ejgil Westergaard and installed at the site in 1990.
