Amalievej
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Amalievej is a street in the Frederiksberg district of Copenhagen, Denmark, linking Bülowsvej in the west with H. C. Ørsteds Vej in the east. The western end of the street is lined with large late 19th-century villas while its eastern end is dominated by taller buildings.
The street was constructed by Frederik Bülow in approximately 1852 as one of the first streets in a new neighbourhood of single family detached homes. The street was initially called Amaliegade but the name was changed to Amalievej to avoid confusion with Amaliegade in Copenhagen. It was named after Amalie Dohlmann, a daughter of the owner of nearby SvanemosegårdFrits August Dohlmann. Her sister was the painter Augusta Dohlmann. Svanemosegård was located on Bülowsvej and the Dohlmann family were personal friends of Frederik Bülow.[1]
Defense Minister Carl Lundbyee lived in the house at No. 4 from 1857 to 1873.[2] The artist Constantin Hansen lived in the house at No. 6 in 1862–80. His house, Paletten, has been replaced by the apartment building at No. 10. Tage Iversen operated a private medical clinic in No. 6-8. Princess Elisabeth was born at the site.
