context_page_description: Frederiksberg Courthouse is a courthouse in Frederiksberg, an independent municipality in Copenhagen, Denmark. The building was completed in 1921 to designs by Hack Kampmann as part of a larger complex at Howitzvej which also included a new fire station and a police station. The latter is connected both to the courthouse and Solbjerg Church by short colonnades.
  Both the courthouse and the police station as well as a courtyard space situated to the rear of the complex were listed in 1997. An extension of the courtyard is currently under construction to designs by 3XN.
context_section_description: Kampmann's courthouse is designed in the Neoclassical under influence from Carl Petersen, who had generated renewed interest in Christian Frederiksen's architecture.
  It is a two-storey, rectangular building surrounding a courtyard with a sculpture of Justitia designed by Einar Utzon-Frank. The building is constructed in red brick while the plinth, a dominant cornice just below the roof and the  framing around the windows is of Faxe limestone. The drain pipes and detailing on the cornice and at the windows are in copper. The windows are painted white towards the street and black facing the courtyard. The roof is hipped towards the street with a low Mansard towards the courtyard.
  The plan is symmetrical and identical on both two floors, which are connected by a round staircase. The connecting hallways follow the courtyard side of the building whereas the offices face the street. The court rooms are located in the south wing. There are four court rooms, located opposite each other, two on each floor. The two court rooms on the ground floor which were originally used for criminal cases are connected to the police station by an underground passageway. All four courtrooms have semi-circular reliefs by Utzon-Frank. Smaller ones designed by two students at the Royal Academy of Arts are found above the doors in the hallway on both floors.
