{{Short description|Street in Copenhagen, Denmark}} [[Image:Dronningensgade 01.jpg|thumb|300px|Looking north-east along Dronningensgade]] '''Dronningensgade''' is a street in the [[Christianshavn]] district of [[Copenhagen]], [[Denmark]], running parallel to [[Christianshavns Kanal|Christianshavn Canal]] one block to the east, from [[Christianshavns Vold|Christianshavn Rampart]] in the south to [[Bådsmandsstræde]] in the north.
==History== The history of the street dates back to the foundation of Christianshavn in the early 17th century. The name originally matched that of Kongensgade on the other side of Christianshavn Canal but that street was renamed [[Wildersgade]] when Christianshavn was merged with Copenhagen later in the century.
The Danish Film Foundation acquired No. 3 in 1965. The building was used for administration, Denmark's first film school and museum activities. This lasted until the opening of the [[Danish Film Institute]] in [[Gothersgade]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.kobenhavnshistorie.dk/bog/khsd/1900/1965.html|title=1965|language=Danish|publisher=Selskabet for Københavns Historie|accessdate=2013-03-17|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304194658/http://www.kobenhavnshistorie.dk/bog/khsd/1900/1965.html|archive-date=2016-03-04|url-status=dead}}</ref>
==Buildings== No. 3 was built in 1848 and was a combined forge and iron foundry. The chimney was added in 1860 and extended in 1861. In 1900, the ground floor was converted into a shop while the first floor became a residence.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.chrarkiv.dk/filer/dronningensgade_3_ok.pdf|title=Dronningensgade 3|language=Danish|publisher=Christianshavns Lokalarkiv|accessdate=2013-03-17}}{{dead link|date=September 2017 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref>
No. 67 was built in 1778 as a school for poor children. The roof was adapted into a [[Mansard roof]] in 1898. In 1913, it was converted into a girls' school, ''Christianshavns Døttreskole'' (English: Christianshavn Daughters' School).<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.chrarkiv.dk/filer/dronningensgade_67_ok.pdf|title=Dronningensgade 67|publisher=Christianshavns Lokalarkiv|accessdate=2013-03-17}}{{dead link|date=September 2017 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref>
No. 75–77 is the former premises of Jensen & Møller, a trading company. Built in 1913 to designs by Heinrich Hansen, the facade still advertises some of the products sold: "Sugar goods, biscuits, confecture".
