Vodroffsvej

It follows the western shore of St. Jørgen's Lake, linking Gammel Kongevej in the south with Rosenørns Allé in the north.

The embankment and lakeside path on the east side of the street is called Svineryggen (English: The Hog's Back).

The area west of St. Jørgen's Lake was the site of some outworks before it was ceded to quartermaster Georg Julius Wodroff in 1698 as a result of the Mercantilistic policies of the time.

In 1802, he obtained a 12-year monopoly on the manufacture of rolled barley and snus as well as on operating sharpening and polishing mills within a distance of three Danish miles from Copenhagen.

Hartvig Marcus Frisch, director of the Royal Danish Greenland Company, owned the property from 1794 to 1803, whereupon he sold it to Carl Ludvig Zinn.

The industrial activities ended in the 1790s and the estate was then used as a summer retreat for changing owners until it was transformed into an entertainment venue under the name I Vodrofflund in 1868.
