The street is located on the former glacis outside the city's Fortification Ring.
Østre Anlæg was created when the landscape architect Ole Høeg Hansen converted a section of the old East Rampart into an English-style landscape park in the 1870s.
His initial plan was created in 1872 but progress on its implementation was slow and the northwestern margin of the park remained loosely defined.

In 1889–90, a plan was finally made for the layout of streets in the triangular area between the park, Øster Farimagsgade and Dag Hammarskjölds Allé.
 The new square Sølvtorvet on Sølvgade was established on the same occasion.
Many of the buildings were high-end apartment buildings for the bourgeoisie.
Lørups Ridehus, an equestrian centre, was built by Carl Albert Lørup in 1891.
The complex included stables for 80 horses.
The building was also used as a venue for events such as political meetings and society weddings.
Viggo Hørup gave many of his speeches at Lørups Ridehus.
The building was demolished in 1931 and replaced by a modern apartment building.
