Krudttønden (meaning "The powder keg") is a café and local cultural centre at Østerfælled Torv in the Østerbro district of Copenhagen, Denmark. Krudttønden is used for a wide array of cultural events, including theatre, concerts, debates, exhibitions and receptions.
History
Krudttønden was established in connection with the redevelopment of the former Østerfælled Barracks into a mixed-use development. It was established in 1990 by the Municipality of Copenhagen at the request of local artists and volunteers. Originally the building consisted of stables, but it has later been expanded with a modern building.
On 14 February 2015, the cafe was the site of a shooting attack that killed the 55-year-old film director Finn Nørgaard and wounded three police officers.
