Lykkesholms Allé
# Lykkesholms Allé

Lykkesholms Allé is a street in the Frederiksberg district of Copenhagen, Denmark. It runs from Gammel Kongevej in the south to Danasvej in the north and is intersected by Niels Ebbesens Vej.

## History

The land where the street is located was acquired by the composer Emil Horneman who had become moderately wealthy through his thriving music business and second marriage. He created the street in around 1850. It was named after the country house Lykkesholm which was, however, not located at the site but at present-day Tesdorpfsvej. The street was initially named Lykkesholmsvej but this name was changed to Lykkesholms Allé in 1890. Horneman was together with Georg Carstensen also an investor in the nearby entertainment venue Alhambra.

Den Praktiske Tjenestepigeskole, a maids' school, was located at the corner of Lykkesholms Allé and Niels Ebbesens Bej. It relocated to new premises at Emiliegade in 1875. G. J. V. Bense operated a timber retail business in the courtyard of No. 11 from circa 1896 to 1904.
