Badminton courts numbered with old tram-line signs give the game away: this hall once garaged Copenhagen's streetcars. Remisen at Blegdamsvej 132, beside Trianglen on Osterbro, opened in 1901-02 as the Blegdamsvej tram depot - built for the new electric service to Vilhelm Friederichsen's design, on a site tram companies had used since 1873 - and served the network until 1964, when lines 3 and 9 moved to Svanemollen and the great hall fell silent. The city converted the depot in the 1980s into the community and sports house it remains: home courts for badminton and the Copenhagen Table Tennis Club as the resident association, plus Osterbro's self-declared coziest flea market, Christmas markets, fairs and community events filling the weekend calendar under the long timber roof. The neighbouring hall section houses Blegdamsremisen, the city's only free staffed indoor playground - play landscapes, ball courts, a pirate ship and creative workshops that have made it one of Copenhagen's most loved children's venues (closed since July 2025 for a roof renovation, with reopening expected in 2026). The setting could hardly be more convenient: Trianglen metro station is two minutes away, Faelledparken's lawns and the national stadium sit across the boulevard, and Osterbro's cafe streets fan out around the old depot walls. Together with its sister remiser around the city - Norrebrohallen the biggest among them - the building tells Copenhagen's recycling story in brick: the infrastructure of one century converted, gracefully, into the everyday leisure of the next. Depot detail survives everywhere for those who look: the long parallel bays of the hall follow the old track alignments, the gates that once swallowed tramcars still punctuate the facade, and the site's lineage - horse trams from 1873, electric cars from 1902, buses in the trolleybus years - makes it one of the most complete pieces of transit archaeology still in everyday public use in Copenhagen.
