Nordre Fasanvej

Søndre and Nordre Fasanvej are two streets which form a long south-north oriented artery through the Frederiksberg, an independent municipality completely surrounded by the larger Copenhagen Municipality in Copenhagen, Denmark. The southern part of the street passes through green spaces and several attractive residential neighbourhoods while its northern part, which enters the Nørrebro and North-West districts of Copenhagen, is dominated by industry.

Søndre Fasanvej begins at Valby Langgade and continues along the western margin of Søndermarken and Frederiksberg Gardens to Smallegade, passing Roskildevej on the way. It then continues as Nordre Fasanvej, passing several major arteries, including Nylandsvej, Godthåbsvej, Borups Allé and Hillerødgade, before reaching Frederikssundsvej.

The oldest part of Søndre Fasanvej, north of Roskildevej, was established in 1682 as an access road to the royal pheasantry behind Frederiksberg Gardens. The road was later extended northwards to Smallegade. The southern part of present day Søndre Fasanvej, between Valby Langgade and Roskildevej, was created in about 1870 as a driveway to a small cluster of nuerseries. It was first known as Bag Søndermarken (literally "Behind Søndermarken") but was incorporated in Søndre Fasanvej in about 1900.

Nordre Fasanvej was established between 1883 and 1908 as a direct extension of Søndre Fasanvej as the old part of the street was now called. A new Frederiksberg Hospital was built at the street in 1903, replacing the old hospital at Howitzvej.

The west side of Søndre Fasanvej, opposite the big parks, is dominated by areas of Single-family detached home, apartment buildings from the 1880s. Diakonissestiftelsen's development, located on the corner with Peter Bangs Vej, dates from the same time. Across the street from Diakonissestiftelsen is the former industrial site of the Royal Copenhagen porcelain manufactury, which has been transformed into a mixed-use neighbourhood now known as Porcelænshaven (literally "The Porcelain Garden"). The main entrance to Frederiksberg Hospital is located at No. 57. Its gatehouse is built in the Neo-Baroque style.
