Helsingør bykerne reddet for lidt over 50 år siden (English version below)
I dag kan det være svært at forestille sig hvordan Helsingør så ud i starten af 1970'erne. Men tilbage i 1970'erne var store dele af Helsingørs gamle bydel i så dårlig stand, at man overvejede at rive mange af de historiske huse ned.
Efter 100 år som travl industriby fremstod den gamle bydel træt og nedslidt. Det store spørgsmål dengang var, skulle man rive ned og modernisere, eller skulle den gamle bydel bevares?
Du kan se en film, der tydeligt viser hvor slemt det stod til her: En kort video med billeder fra den nedslidte bykerne.
Takket være fremsynede lokale politikere, dedikerede fagfolk og engagerede ildsjæle kan vi i dag glæde os over, at man valgte at redde og bevare den gamle, historiske by.
I dag fremstår Helsingør som en af de smukkeste og mest velbevarede købstæder i Danmark og kan d. 2. juni 2026 fejre sit 600 års jubilæum som købstad. Og vi hylder denne enestående indsats og arbejder samtidig også for, at den ikke skal blive glemt, og at byrådet og byens borgere fortsat vil bibeholde et stort fokus på bybevaringen de kommende mange år.
Anna Queens Stræde
Anna Queens Stræde er et at de fineste eksempler på bevaringen af de gamle huse og stræder. Og derfor skal du besøge netop dette sted. Den hed i 1600-tallet Møllestræde ved Svingelen og Det lille Møllestræde. Strædets nuværende navn skyldes købmandsfamilien Quie, som i 1700-tallet ejede indtil flere ejendomme i gaden. Købmand Hans Quie's enke hed Anna eller Anne og Queen er en forvanskning af Quie.

ENGLISH VERSION:
Helsingør city center saved just over 50 years ago
Today it can be difficult to imagine what Helsingør looked like in the early 1970s. But back in the 1970s, large parts of Helsingør's old town were in such poor condition that many of the historic houses were considered to be demolished.
After 100 years as a busy industrial city, the old town appeared tired and run-down. The big question at the time was, should it be demolished and modernized, or should the old town be preserved?
You can watch a film that clearly shows how bad things were here: A short video with images from the run-down city center
Thanks to far-sighted local politicians, dedicated professionals and committed enthusiasts, we can now rejoice that the old, historic city was saved and preserved.
Today, Helsingør stands out as one of the most beautiful and well-preserved market towns in Denmark and can on June 2, 2026 will celebrate its 600th anniversary as a market town. And we pay tribute to this unique effort and at the same time work to ensure that it is not forgotten, and that the city council and the city's citizens will continue to maintain a strong focus on city preservation for many years to come.
Anna Queens Street
Anna Queens Street is one of the finest examples of the preservation of old houses and streets. And that is why you should visit this particular place. In the 17th century, it was called Møllestræde ved Svingelen and Det lille Møllestræde. The street's current name is due to the merchant family Quie, who in the 18th century owned several properties in the street. Merchant Hans Quie's widow was named Anna or Anne and Queen is a corruption of Quie.
