Magstræde - København

Cobblestone street and old houses. Here is an atmosphere of the old Copenhagen.

 

History: Magstræde in Copenhagen has occurred in the 1520s, as when the filling moved the coastline beyond. In 1525 appears the name first, named after the mag (lavatory) who was raised on stilts in the sea at this place.

 

Magstræde was in the 1800s demoted to street prostitution, populated by more mature girls, like the place was known for his original "philosopher from Magstræde".
