context_section_description: Meinungsgade takes its name from captain Conrad Robertus Meinung (1805-1873) who owned a country house named Vilhelmines Lyst at the site. In circa 1859, he constructed the road and started to sell the land off in lots. As something new, Meinung constructed workers' housing with cavity walls. The method received an award on the Exposition Universelle in Paris.
   
  Rudolph Koefod var had already constructed a factory at the site in 1857. H. Rudolph Koefoed & Co. was later merged with another machine factory under the name Koefod & Hauberg. Another industrial enterprise, Smith & Mtgind, later FLSmidth, was founded in 1872 founded in a former stable between Meinungsgade and Møllegade. It was after a few months replaced by a machine factory. Koefod & Hauberg relocated to Tagensvej after being merged with Marstrand, Helweg & Co. under the name Titan A/S in 1897. The factory in Meinungsgade was then rented out to  A/S Kjøbenhavns Cykelfabrik.
