Druknestenen på Åboulevarden

The granite stone, measuring 160 centimeters in height and 50 by 35 centimeters at ground level, stands on the sidewalk along Åboulevarden street.

On November 27, 1812, six individuals, including Marie Henriques and Lise Magnus, lost their lives when their carriage plunged into Ladegårdsåen after attending a wedding celebration.

The memorial bears the inscription '26-27 NOVBR 1812' and represents the connection between Copenhagen's Jewish community and Danish society in the early 19th century.

Located on a public sidewalk, the stone marks the location where Ladegårdsåen stream once flowed before it was covered in 1897.

Originally serving as a water level gauge, the stone emerged during the stream's cleaning in 1827 and was later repurposed as a memorial for the tragedy.
