Ordrup station is located on the Klampenborg radial of Copenhagen's S-train network, a hybrid commuter rail and rapid transit system serving Greater Copenhagen. It is served regularly by trains on the C-line which have a journey time to central Copenhagen of around 15 minutes.[1] The station opened in 1924 on the Klampenborg Line between Copenhagen and Klampenborg which opened in 1863.[2] It has been served by the S-train network since 1934.[6] Its listed station building was built in 1924 to designs by the Danish architect Knud Tanggaard Seest (1879–1972).[4]
History edit
Ordrup station was not one of the original stations on the Klampenborg Line which opened in 1863.[6] The station opened in 1924 after the village of Ordrup had developed into a suburb as the farmland was built over with single family detached homes and apartment buildings in the first half of the 20th century.[2]
Just a few years later, the station was among the first served by the S-train, as service began on the 3 April 1934 when the line Frederiksberg-Vanløse-Hellerup-Klampenborg was opened.[7]
Architecture edit
The main station building was designed in Neoclassical style by the Danish architect Knud Tanggaard Seest (1879–1972), known for the numerous railway stations he designed across Denmark in his capacity of head architect of the Danish State Railways.[4] The station was listed in 1992.[8] The station was renovated by Gottlieb Paludan Architects in 2014, recreating original features of the building and restoring the original colour scheme.[9]
Operations edit
Ordrup station is served regularly by trains on the C-line of Copenhagen's S-train network which run between Klampenborg and Frederikssund via central Copenhagen and Ballerup,[3] and in exceptional circumstances by the F-line to Hellerup.
Facilities edit
Inside the station building there is a waiting room and ticket machine. The station has a bicycle parking station as well as a car park with approximately 33 parking spaces.[1]
Cultural references edit
The station is used as a location in the 1943 Danish family film Moster fra Mols and in the 1961 Danish comedy film Støv på hjernen.[10]
