Nørrebro
Multicultural neighborhood of narrow streets, a historic cemetery, and the flashpoint of Denmark's fiercest street riots.
This guide to Norrebro in Copenhagen follows a single building on Jagtvej street from its start in 1897 as Folkets Hus, headquarters of the city's labor movement where Lenin and Rosa Luxemburg once spoke, through its 1982 handover to squatting teenagers who turned it into the anarchist Ungdomshuset. It picks up the standoff after the city sold the building in 1999 to a group that wanted the young occupants gone, and the years of tension that followed as neither side backed down, boiling over into a clash of about twelve hundred protesters and police in December 2006. Walk this stretch of Norrebrogade today, past the bicycles and cafes that now line it.
