Description

"Kødbyen"

Like a city within the city, the White Meatpacking District’s white functionalist blocks sit between Vesterbro’s tall brick complexes. Butchers’ coats and wooden clogs were replaced long ago by tattoos and full beards, leaving the listed buildings as the last, silent witnesses to the starting point of Denmark’s industrial meat adventure.

KØDBYEN tells the story of how Copenhagen’s butchers brought blood and cattle with them to Vesterbro after the king turned them out. How master butchers, goulash barons, and a group of far-sighted municipal architects created the largest meat market in the Nordics. Until time caught up with Copenhagen’s meat bastion—and the sound of hooves fell silent.
