'''Haraldsgade''' ([[loteral translation|lit.]] "Harald Street") is an approximately 1.5 km long street in the outer [[Nørrebro]] and [[Østerbro]] districts of [[Copenhagen]], [[Denmark]]. It runs from [[Tagensvej]] in the southwest to Lyngbyvej in the northeast. [[Skjolds Plads Station]], a station on the [[Copenhagen Metro]] [[City Circle Line]], is located at the beginning of the street. The station takes its name after '''Skjolds Plads''', a small square located off the east side of the street. The southwestern end of the street was closed to through traffic in connection with the opening of the metro station.
==History==
The street originates in an old countryside lane that connected Tagensvej and Lyngbyvej across Rådmandsmarken. It received its name in 1880. A masterplan for redevelopment of the surrounding area was created but the area was at the turn of the century still dominated by market gardens.<ref></ref>
Thenorthernmost part of the street turned east to meet Lyngbyvej in a right angle. This short section of the street was renamed Ragnagade in 1920. Haraldsgade was instead continued straight northeastwards to meet Lyngbyvej a little further to the north. This new section of the street was initially given the name Ny Haraldsgade ("New Harald Street") but renamed Haraldsgade in 1930.<ref></ref>
Lauritz Knudsen, a manufacturer of electric watches and other appliances, established a factory at No. 53 in 1932. It existed until 1968.
==Notable buildings and residents==
At the northern end of the street is a development of so-called building association houses constructed by [[Arbejdernes Byggeforening]] to provide affordable housing for working-class families. A number of other such developments are scattered across the city. It was constructed in 1931-1932 and is thus one of the youngest of these developments. The architect was Christen Larsen.<ref></ref>
==Public art==
''Larva'' a granite sculpture by Lily Troelsø Borring, was installed at the entrance to Haraldsgade Post Office (Studsgårdsgade 1) in 1993.<ref></ref>
