context_page_description: Fælledvej is a street in the Nørrebro district of Copenhagen, Denmark. It links the major shopping street Nørrebrogade in the west with the square Sankt Hans Torv in the east.
context_section_description: Fælledvej takes its name after the common Blegdam Fælled. Blegdam Fælled was in turn named after the bleeching ponds at Blegdamsvej, Fælledvej's continuation. The street was originally a short track linking the main road in and out of Copenhagen's North Gate (Nørreport) with a milking station located where Sankt Hans Torv is today.
  The road was gradually built over with larger buildings when the so-called Demarcation Line was moved to The Lakes in 1752.
  Fælledvej Police Station, or Station 6, opened on 21 October 1884. It maintained a staff of 64 policemen: One chief police officer, four superior police officers, 11 inspectors and 46 ordinary policemen. The top floor contained a residence for the head of the police station. First floor contained accommodation for 16 unmarried policemen.  The police station closed on 25 May 1977.
