This "Fredskrudtmagasin" was an ammunition depot in peacetime. If Vestvolden was activated, i.e. occupied by soldiers, the individual positions were supplied with ammunition from here.
The fortress wall "Vestvolden" was built at the end of the 19th century to protect the capital after the lost war against Prussia / Germany. Approximately 14 km long, the fortress was the largest construction project in Danish history before the bridge over the Great Belt was built. In the First World War, 50,000 soldiers did their service on the "Westwall". Fortunately, the kingdom was able to stay out of the war itself. Denmark's participation in the war consisted of trading with the conflicting parties, i.e. horses for the Germans and ham for the English ... The development of war technology made Vestvolden pointless. The fortress wall was decommissioned in 1920, later placed under a preservation order and neatly pepped up between 2006 and 2014 via a Relandia project. Today the 14 km are a great, 100 m wide recreational area that runs through the capital region and has many corners that are worth a visit. vestvolden.dk
