Glostrup Municipality
Glostrup Municipality

Glostrup Kommune is a suburban municipality (Danish kommune) and town in Region Hovedstaden on the island of Zealand (Sjælland) approx. 10 km west of Copenhagen in eastern Denmark. The municipality covers an area of 13.31 km², and has a total population of 23,635 (2023). Its Zip code (Postnummer) is 2600. Its mayor as of 2022 is Kasper Damsgaard, a member of the Social Democrats (Socialdemokratiet) political party. The municipality was established in 1841 following the municipal reforms of the 1840s, ranking as a parish municipality (sognekommune) until 1950 when suburbanisation of Copenhagen inhabited the municipality and the status was changed to town municipality (købstadskommune). From 1947 to 1960 the population in the municipality doubled due to the expanding suburbs of Copenhagen, reaching the municipality in the post-war period. Glostrup was designated as a new suburb along the western Tåstrup-finger of the Copenhagen Finger Plan of 1947. The main town and the site of its municipal council is the town of Glostrup, home to three quarters of the population. Other towns in the municipality are Hvissinge and Ejby. Until 1974 the town of Avedøre also belonged to this municipality. Being an exclave, it was merged into the neighbouring Hvidovre Municipality. Neighboring municipalities are Rødovre to the east, Herlev and Ballerup to the north, Albertslund to the west, and Brøndby to the south. Glostrup was not merged with other municipalities on 1 January 2007, as the result of nationwide Kommunalreformen ("The Municipality Reform" of 2007). The church of Glostrup originates from the 12th century.

Rødovre Skøjte Arena
Rødovre Skøjte Arena

Rødovre Skøjte Arena (as a result of a name sponsorship also known as Rødovre Centrum Arena), is an ice hockey arena in Rødovre, Greater Copenhagen. The arena, inaugurated on 6 February 1995, is home to both the Rødovre Mighty Bulls and the parent club RSIK and is used for both figure skating and ice hockey. The arena replaced the old Rødovre Ice Skating Hall (Rødovre Skøjtehal) with the nickname Kostalden (cow shed), which was in the northeastern part of Rødovre at Rødovrevej. Rødovre Skøjte Arena is located on Rødovre Parkvej and is built together with the sporting arena Rødovrehallen via an entrance foyer. From this foyer there is access to both the spectator seats and the basement where the changing rooms are located. On the western end, the arena is connected to a secondary practice rink. The Rødovre Ice Skating Arena was built after a Norwegian model, in particular the ice hockey arena that were built for the Olympic Winter Games in Lillehammer. This is reflected, among other things, in the roof construction, which slopes out towards Rødovre Parkvej, so that the seating area on the opposite side is higher and can accommodate more spectators. The arena has a total capacity of 3,600 spectators, with 2,012 seated and standing sections behind each goal, making it one of the larger ice hockey arenas in Denmark. The attendance record of 3,600 was set on 23 March 1998 in a game against the Frederikshavn White Hawks.In 2009 a practice rink was built in connection with the main arena. The practice rink is built to North American size, making it smaller than the IIHF size used in Denmark. On top of the practice rink there is an indoor tennis court.In 2020, an LED scoreboard was added over centre ice. Also in 2020, the boards will be replaced with a more flexible variety.
