Peter Bangs Vej

Peter Bangs Vej is a 2.2 km long street in Frederiksberg, a city in the Copenhagen area on the island of Zealand, Denmark. The direct continuation of Smallegade, it initially runs west, from Nordre Fasanvej, but then turns south along the east side of Damhus Lake to meet Roskildevej. There is a large sports complex on the south end of the street with the football club F.C. Copenhagen's training facilities as well as the multi-purpose venue K.B. Hallen.

A field track referred to as Klammerivejen (literally Vrewl Road) followed the same troute from at least 1755. It is probably older since documents from 1688 mentions "Clammerijs Agre". A popular but unverifiable explanation of the name is that the road was too narrow for two carriages to pass and that it was therefore liable to cause disputes. The track was the direct continuation of the Gammel Kongevej road which connected Copenhagen's Western City Gate to the village of Solbjerg, whose village pond can still be seen on the south side of Smallegade.

The road received its current name on 8 October 1868. It was named after the politician Peter Georg Bang who had recently died. The first major building along the road was Diakonissestiftelsen's hospital from 1876. The old West Line crossed the road just east of present-day Lindevangs Allé. Om 1914, the road was regulated and a tram line to Vanløse was inaugurated on 8 December that same year. Several large factories were built in the area between Peter Bangs Vej and Finsensvejin the 1900s and 1910s, such as Fisker & Nielsen's factory from 1913. The company both manufactured their Nilfisk vacuum cleaners and their Nimbus motorcycles at the site.
