Geocache Description:


Stadsgraven er en vandgrav i København mellem Christianshavn og Amager.
Stadsgraven og Christianshavns Vold udgjorde tidligere den østlige halvdel af Københavns volde, men fungerer nu som et rekreativt område. Stadsgraven kan opdeles i Indre Stadsgrav, som består af 3 bassiner og Ydre Stadsgrav,
der er en 10 m. bred kanal, der løber på ydersiden af den Indre Stadsgrav langs det midterste bassin.

Stadsgraven har forbindelse til Københavns Havn mod nord og syd. Vand fra havnen kan løbe ind mellem Quintus Bastion og Charlotte Amalies Bastion og ud under Kalvebod Bastion.
De ældste dele af volden omkring Christianshavn stammer fra Johan Semps projekt påbegyndt i 1618 og afsluttet i 1623. Der var tale om en lav vold,
der fik fire hele bastioner og en halv bastion omkring den halve ottekantede by.

I tiåret 1682-1692 blev Christianshavns Vold forlænget mod nord ved anlæg
af Nyværk med 7 bastioner, projekteret af militæringeniøren Gottfried Hoffmann. Bastionerne, der beskyttede Flådens Leje, blev opkaldt efter den kongelige familie.
Den nye Københavns Landbefæstning blev påbegyndt af Estrup-regeringen i 1886, men kom ikke til at omfatte Amager.
Amagersiden fik aldrig en landbefæstning, fordi Christianshavns Vold
officelt fungerede som militært anlæg helt frem til 1916, selvom volden for længst havde mistet enhver forsvarskapacitet. Amager havde som erstatning opnået et forsvar i form af nye søforter i øens periferi.
Fæstningen blev omdannet til park i 1916 og beskyttet som fortidsminde i 1918.

English:
Stadsgraven is a moat in Copenhagen between Christianshavn and Amager.
Stadsgraven and Christianshavns Vold did previous made up the eastern half of Copenhagens moats, but functions today as a recreational area.

Stadsgraven can be divided into:
Inner Stadsgrav witch consists of 3 basins, and Outer Stadsgrav witch is a 10 Meters (m) 32.8 Feet (ft) wide channel, that runs on the outer side of Inner Stadsgrav along the middle basin.

Stadsgraven is connected with Copenhagen Habor among north and south.
Water from the habor can run through Quintus Bastion and Charlotte Amalies Bastion and out under Kalvebod Bastion.

The oldest part of the moat along Christianshavn lasts from Johan Semps project, commenced
in 1618 and ended in 1623.
This was a low moat with four hole bastions and a half bastion around the half octagonal city.

In the decade 1682-1692 Christianhavns Vold was extended among north with planting of Nyværk with 7 bastions projected by the military engineer, Gottfried Hoffmann.
The bastions, that protected the navy landing (Flådens Leje) was named after the royal family.

The new Copenhagen Fortification was commenced by the Estrup administration in 1886, but did not include Amager.
The Amagerside did not get a fortification, because Christianhavns Vold officiel functioned as a military facility all the way to 1916 even though the moat had lost all it's defence capacity.

Amager had as a compensation achieved a defence in form of new sea fortress in the islands periphery.

The fortress was turned into a park in 1916 and protected as a ancient monument in 1918.
