Source-derived summary

Nyelandsvej is a street in the Frederiksberg district of Copenhagen, Denmark. It runs from Falkoner Allé in the southeast to a roundabout at the north end of Dalgas Boulevard in the northwest. The more urban, eastern part of the street, between Falkoner Allé and Nordre Fasanvej, separates an area with Copenhagen Business School's Solbjerg Campus and Frederiksberg Centret to the south from the Svømmehal Quarter to the north. The western part of the street passes the multi-purpose venue Keddelhallen and Frederiksberg Hospital before entering an area with single-family detached homes. The street is named for Stephan Peter Nyeland (1793–1875), provisionmaster (proviantforvalter) at the Naval Administration (Søetaten), who from 1837 to 1875 owned a country estate on Falkonér Allé on which part of Nyelandsvej, Langelandsvej and Bentzonsvej were built.

History

In 1814, Rasmus Langeland (1767-1837) bought 22 tønder land from the Sindshvile estate. He used it for the construction of a country house for his own use. After his death, it was acquired by his son-in-law Stephan Peter Nyeland (1793-1875). He established part of the streets Nyelandsvej, Langelandsvej and Bentzonsvej. Langelandsvej was named after his wife Anne Kirstine Langeland (1798-1823).

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

Evidence profile

Place names and jurisdictional language are key evidence: both can reveal earlier catalogue descriptions and overlooked record series. The source revision retrieved here is dated Nov 21, 2025.

Critical limits

Modern boundaries and familiar names can conceal earlier jurisdictions or structures that do not align with the present site. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it
