Brøndby Municipality, Administrative municipality in Capital Region, Denmark
Brøndby Municipality is an administrative division in the Capital Region of Denmark, located about 13 kilometers west of Copenhagen across an area of about 21 square kilometers. The municipality is divided into three sections—Brøndbyvester, Brøndbyøster, and Brøndby Strand—each with distinct residential patterns and building types.
The municipality originated in 1842 as an administrative unit and remained independent for many years. In 2007, it became part of the newly formed Capital Region when Copenhagen County was dissolved.
The three districts each have a distinct character: Brøndbyvester shows older residential buildings, Brøndbyøster features apartment blocks, and Brøndby Strand is marked by modern high-rises where many residents have moved from other countries. Walking through these areas reveals how the built environment shapes community life and daily routines.
The Citizen Service center is located at RådhusPark Allé 16 and operates during weekdays for those needing municipal assistance. Since the area is divided into three districts, visitors should plan their route depending on which part they wish to explore.
The name Brøndby means 'water well town', reflecting the historical importance of water sources in this area. Today, Brøndby Strand stands out as a place where more than half the residents have roots outside Denmark, creating a distinctly international community.
