Gladsaxe Municipality

Gladsaxe Municipality is a residential area north of Copenhagen containing neighborhoods such as Søborg, Buddinge, Bagsværd, and Mørkhøj. The municipality houses around 70,600 residents across numerous schools, sports centers, and public spaces.

The municipality was established in 1909 as an administrative division serving the expanding suburbs around Copenhagen. This marked the start of organized residential development in the area.

The gem and mineral show draws collectors and exhibitors to the municipality each year since 2014, displaying specimens from many regions. This annual gathering brings together people who share a passion for geology and collecting.

The area connects easily to central Copenhagen through multiple S-train stations offering convenient access. Visitors can navigate between neighborhoods on foot and find various sports facilities and public spaces throughout.

Denmark's first television broadcast originated in 1955 from a 206.5-meter-tall transmission mast located here. This facility played a foundational role in bringing television service to the nation.
