Copenhagen ramparts
The Copenhagen ramparts today include the Copenhagen amusement park Tivoli , which was built in 1843, as well as the Ørstedsparken , which is richly equipped with monuments , the botanical garden , the Østre Anlæg and the Kastellet . They represent the fragments of a large central Wallringpark, created in a slow process of softening in the 19th century, which, mainly due to railway constructions, public buildings and speculative Wilhelminian-style construction, could not assume the extent that the leading architect of historicism in Denmark, Ferdinand Meldahl (1827–1908), was advised in a future-oriented plan in 1866 (published in Illustretet Tidende ). The historical development in Copenhagen (Fæstningsringen) is thus similar to that which characterizes other ramparts , such as those in Hamburg or the redesign of Vienna's bastions into the Ringstrasse district , in the course of the development spurt at the end of the 19th century.
