context_page_description: Tietgensgade is a street in central Copenhagen, Denmark. It runs from H. C. Andersens Boulevard in the northeast to Kvlgtorvgade at the Meat-Packing District in the southwest, linking Stormgade in the city centre with Halmtorvet and Sønder Boulevard in Vesterbro. The street follows the rear side of Tivoli Gardens and Copenhagen Central Station. The viaduct that carries it across the railway tracks at the central station is known as Tietgensbro. A series of staircases and lifts provides direct access from the viaduct to the station platforms.
context_section_description: Tietgensgade was created after the southern part of Copenhagen's West Rampart, from the city's haymarket (now City Hall Square) to the harbourfront, had finally been removed in the early 1880s. The street was then a direct continuation of Ny Vestergade and was therefore initially called Ny Vestergades Fprlængelse (Ny Vestergade's Extension). The trapezoid shape of Dantes Plads reflects how Ny Vestergade used to curve around the right-hand side of the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek.
  The far end of the street was initially dominated by extensive storage yards for timber and firewood. The country house  Enighedsværn was also located in that end of the street. The building was taken over by the city and used as an annex school under the schools in Gasværksvej and Matthæusgade.
  The street was renamed Tietgensgade in 1904 to commemorate Carl Frederik Tietgen who had died a few years earlier. The transfer of a narrow strip of Tivoli Gardens and the subsequent demolition of the Arena Theatre in 1906 made it possible to connect the street to Stormgade, creating a more straight route through the inner city. On 30 November 1911, Copenhagen Central Station was inaugurated on a site next to Tivoli Gardens. Its predecessor had been located on the other side of the street.
