The beginning of line no. 1 took place in 1863, where an English company built the first part of the line.

When the 8 lines of the streetcar company became numbered in 1902, it was after the importance of the line. A line with a lower figure had the right of way over lines with a higher figure.

Line no. 1 was the first streetcar line in the city of Copenhagen, which got electrified.

In 1930 The streetcar company had built a new type of streetcars, and line no. 1 was the first to use these new streetcars.



The last day for the line to be a streetcar line was April the 29th of 1967.

The nickname of the line was:
Cross-eyed One
because the lanterns were white and red.
