Nørrebro's streets hold many dramatic stories from the German occupation of Denmark. Join a guide from the Politimuseet (Police Museum) on a walk through the district, where streets and places come alive with accounts from the wartime years.
The tour focuses on the tense period 1944-1945, including the police internment on 19 September 1944 that ushered in the period without a functioning police force, German reprisal terror, the people's strike and the liquidation of informers. Along the route, the guide recounts the tragic fates and events behind the streetscape, including the arrest of the well-known resistance fighter Citronen and the fateful day when around 2,000 police officers were interned and sent to German concentration and prisoner-of-war camps. The walk is about 2 km in total.
