The street is relatively young. The street Pustervig was originally a cul-de-sac off the east side of Købmagergade. Suhmsgade was created as a link between Landemærket and the new square Hauser Plads following the British bombardment of Copenhagen in 1807 which caused great destruction in the area. It was named after the writer and book collector Peter Frederik Suhm who had lived in a house nearby.[1]
