History edit
The street is named after Rådmandsmarken (The Councilman Fielf), whose crops belonged to the councilmen of Copenhagen. The street, which then ended at Tagensvej, was load out when the building restrictions outside Copenhagen's fortifications were abandoned in the 1850s. It was named in 1860.[1]
Lauritz Rasmussen's Zinc and Bronze Foundry opened at No. 15 in 1890. Many monuments, memorials and public artworks that were installed in Copenhagen over the next decades cast at the site in 1890.
Bardings Farveri og Tøjrensningsetablissement, which grew to become the largest dyeing and dry cleaning company in Scandinavia, was from around at the turn of the century based at the southern end of the street. The plant included administrative offices, route delivery racks, and room for the dry cleaning, spotting, finishing, and dyeing departments.[2]
After the end of the First World War, Rådmandsgade was extended from Tagensvej to Lersøparkallé. The sculptor Astrid Noack lived and worked in the courtyard at No. 34 in the period 1936-50.[3]
