History of Stengade
The address Stengade 18 is filled with interesting stories. The building was constructed in 1936 in the Functionalism (Funkis) architectural style and is one of the first concrete buildings in Copenhagen. For many years, the building belonged to the Painters' Union of Denmark, but in the 1970s, it was occupied by squatters (slumstormerne), who later established Stengade 30 a couple of years later. In 1996, the building was registered as culturally significant by the Danish Heritage Agency. In 2010 Stengade re-opened as Spillestedet Stengade after Stengade 30 got closed down in 2009.

Stengade has an agreement with the Copenhagen municipality, which provides ongoing support for the operation of the venue.
