Add article description

Enghave Brygge (English: Enghave Quay) is a waterfront area in the Southern Docklands of Copenhagen, Denmark. It is located between Vesterbro to the north and Teglholmen to the south, and opposite Islands Brygge across the water. The area is undergoing significant development, with the northern half now housing around 2.000 inhabitants, and construction of apartment blocks in the southern half is underway. Enghave Brygge is characterized by canals, giving the area the impression of a maritime city like Venice or Amsterdam, as well as the nearby Christianshavn neighbourhood. The Enghave Canal which runs from north to south across Enghave Brygge is a major defining landmark.

Redevelopment

Engholmene construction site in 2016.

The plan for Enghave Brygge has been created by Juul Frost Arkitekter, Gröning Arkitekter and Danielsen Architecture in collaboration with the City. The area will comprise 2,400 apartments and about 37.800 square metres of commercial and retail space. A central element in the plan was the creation of a 700 metres long canal, Enghave Canal, which will be a modern equivalent to Christianshavn Canal on the other side of the harbor. The buildings along the water will be located on 11 individual "islands". A greenspace will mark the transition to H. C. Ørsted Power Station.[1]

Transport

Enghave Brygge will be a station on the planned South Harbour Line (M4) of the Copenhagen Metro,[2] due to open in 2024.[3] Bridges will connect Enghave Brygge to Teglholmen to the south and across the harbor to the southern part of Islands Brygge.

Cultural references

Enghave Brygge is seen in silhouet st 0:42:28 in the first Olsen Gang film.[4] In The Last Exploits of the Olsen Gang (1974), Bøffen (Ove Verner Hansen) tries to make Egon (Ove Sprogøe) "disappear and stay disappeared" by embedding his feet in a concrete block and dumping him into the harbor from a crane at one of the scrapyards on Enghave Brygge (1:12:25).[5] Enghave Brygge is also used as a location at 0:43:46 in The Olsen Gang on the Track.[6] Enghave Brygge is also used as a location at 0:28:00 in The Olsen Gang Outta Sight.[7]
