A photograph of Bjerggade taken at the beginning of April 1864, showing a number of civilians, but also two Danish officers walking round to inspect the damage. Bjerggade, which at that time was called Bag Mødding Gade (Behind Dungheap Street), was situated in the area hardest hit during the bombardment. About a third of all buildings in the street were so badly damaged that they were completely written off. However, in 1864, the Prussian artillery was not the only reason the number of buildings in the street was reduced: even before the bombardment, the Danish army had commandeered and pulled down six properties at the northern end of it.
