Dag Hammarskjölds Allé is a street on Østerbro in Copenhagen, which goes from Østerport Station to Lille Triangel . The street was given its current name in 1962 following the death of UN Secretary General Dag Hammarskjöld the year before. Before 1962 this stretch was part of Østerbrogade. On this wide stretch are tree-lined trees lime trees which testify that this was the approach to Østerport, when Copenhagen was still surrounded by ramparts. The tree had been planted on the initiative of General Ernst Peymann in 1787.
