Tornebuskegade

Tornebuskegade is a street in the Old Yown of Copenhagen, Denmark. It runs from Rosenborggade in the south to Nørre Voldgade in the north.

History
The name of the street is most likely a reference to the spiny shrubs that had until then dominated the undeveloped area just inside the city's North Rampart (along present-day Nørre Voldgade) and East Rampart (along present-day Gothersgade met. The street was together with Rosenborggade laid out in the 1650s after the area known as New Copenhagen had been incorporated in the fortified city by moving the East Rampart.

All the buildings in the southern part of the street were destroyed in the Copenhagen Fire of 1728. One of them was the Trekroner Guesthouse but it was later rebuilt. Its buildings were demolished in 1918.

The property at Tornebuskegade 1 / Rosenborggade 7-9 was built in 1847 for master tanner Johan Julius Gram.
