thumb|Ungdomshuset as seen from the street Ungdomshuset () is a social centre in Copenhagen, currently based at Dortheavej 61, Bispebjerg. Between 1982 and 2007, it was located at Jagtvej 69, Nørrebro. That building was originally named Folkets Hus ("House of the People"), constructed by Copenhagen's labour movement in 1897. It functions as an underground music venue and focal point for varying autonomist and leftist groups.
From the mid-1990s till 2007, Jagtvej 69 was the subject of intense media attention and public debate. This was due to an ongoing conflict between the Copenhagen Municipality and activists occupying the premises. In 2007, Ungdomshuset was evicted from Jagtvej 69 and the building was demolished. Police started to clear the Ungdomshuset building early on Thursday, 1 March 2007. Demolition began on 5 March, and was completed in two days.
