Ungdomshuset (Copenhagen Municipality)

Denmark / Kobenhavn / Copenhagen / Copenhagen Municipality / Jagtvej
 demolished, historical layer / disappeared object

Ungdomshuset (literally "the Youth House") was the attriduted name of a building located in Copenhagen on Jagtvej 69, Nørrebro, which functioned as an underground scene venue for music and rendezvous point for varying anarchist and leftist groups from 1982 until 2007. Due to the ongoing conflict between the municipal government of Copenhagen and the activist occupying the premises, the building has been the subject of intense media attention and public debate since the mid-1990s.

Police started to clear the building early on Thursday, 1. March 2007. Demolition began on 5. March 2007 and was completed two days later. [1] [2]
