There has been rapid development in the area over the past 150 years.
The graphic to the right of this shows in clips the development that the area has gone through, from the end of the 1800s until today.
Teglholmen (The brick island) is an area in Sydhavn (The south harbour) between Sluseholmen and Enghave Brygge, originally created by reclaiming land in the waters between Amager and Sjælland.
The reclamation started about 1900 and the first buildings emerged around 1920, primarily industry buildings but also cabins, fishing cottages and rowing clubs. Teglholmen got its name after a brick factory in the area, named Frederiksholms Teglværker. However, perhaps the most iconic building here was Burmeister & Wains iron casting factory which was built in 1941.
The factory is the origin of the name Støberiet for a current street and a building in the area. Part of the canal on the west side of Teglholmen was filled in the mid-80’s where currently Teglholm Allé is located.
