Rosenborggade
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Rosenborggade (literally "Rosenborg Street") is a street in the Old Town of Copenhagen, Denmark. It runs from the southern, pedestrianized part of Frederiksborggade in the west to Gothersgade in the east. It takes its name after Rosenborg Castle on the other side of the street.

Rosenborggade was established in 1650, just a few years after Gothersgadem then known as Ny Kongensgade, had been established along the now abandoned, old Eastern Rampart of the city's Fortification Ring.[1]
A boarding house known as Pjaltenborg, which provided accommodation for the very poorest part of the city's population, was located on the corner with Aabenraa. The cheapest option in the immensely crowded building was to spend the night standing along the wall attached to a hook by a rope under the arms. The run-down, half-timbered building was destroyed in a fire on the night between 25 and 26 March 1850.[2]
