History
edit
The land where the street is located was acquired by the composer Emil Horneman who had become moderately wealthy through his thriving music business and second marriage.[1] He created the street in around 1850. It was named after the country house Lykkesholm which was, however, not located at the site but at present-day Tesdorpfsvej. The street was initially named Lykkesholmsvej but this name was changed to Lykkesholms Allé in 1890.[2] Horneman was together with Georg Carstensen also an investor in the nearby entertainment venue Alhambra.
Den Praktiske Tjenestepigeskole, a maids' school, was located at the corner of Lykkesholms Allé and Niels Ebbesens Bej. It relocated to new premises at Emiliegade in 1875.[3] G. J. V. Bense operated a timber retail business in the courtyard of No. 11 from circa 1896 to 1904.[4]
