Syndicalists Government of Denmark Andreas Fritzner Poul Gissemann Jørgen Mortensen Alfred Mogensen Christian Christensen Carl Theodor Zahle The Storm on the Stock Exchange was a violent attack on the Børsen (Denmark's stock exchange) in Copenhagen on 11 February 1918.

[1][2] The storming took place on Shrove Monday 1918 and started from two meetings, one in Folkets Hus (The People's House) at Jagtvej 69 and one in Arbejdernes Forsamlingsbygning (The Workers' Assembly Hall) on Rømersgade.

Only the leaders knew where the demonstration procession was going, and to fool the police they falsely leaked that the target was the Pork Hall, which was to be looted.

[3] The demonstration was led by the syndicalists Andreas Fritzner, Poul Gissemann and Alfred Mogensen, and it ended with a spontaneous attack on the Stock Exchange.

The storming of the stock exchange made a great impression on the contemporaries and especially bourgeois politicians and media distanced themselves from the revolutionaries.
