A section of the Copenhagen Common, Fælledparken, known at the time as Fælleden, featured a 2,500-metre triangular racecourse with rounded corners. The two long sides followed the streets Øster Allé, Blegdamsvej and Nørre Allé. A royal pavilion was constructed on the side facing Nørre Allé, flanked by a number of covered grandstands with seating. Spectators on horseback or in carriages could line the other sides. The stand for the judges was situated more or less by the royal pavilion. The racecourse was first used on 7 and 8 September 1832 and captured the public attention. In the years to follow the races were held according to the same pattern, i.e. over two days in early September with three or four races each day, under the leadership of the Duke of Augustenborg, who acted as judge. In the later years, stewardship was nonetheless handed to Prince Ferdinand. The races held on 10 September 1836 were the last horse races in Copenhagen to date. Holm's motif was probably issued in several copies. Engraver Rasmus Nicolai Nielsen rendered H.G.F. Holm's motif taken from “Hestevæddeløbene paa Nørrefælled 7–8. Septbr 1835” (The Horseraces at Nørrefælled 7–8 Sep. 1835). Literature: Erik Hougsted, Fattig Holm, 1994. p. 275f.
