History

The street takes its name after the country house Mariendal which was located close to the beginning of the street. The estate was acquired by the businessman Niels Josephsen in 1889. He lived in the main building but created a master plan for a new neighbourhood and sold the land off in lots. He paid for the construction of Mariendal Church out of his own pocket and gave a number of lots away for charitable housing projects or sold them at very favourable conditions.[1]
