The Carlsberg Fault zone is a concealed tectonic formation that runs across Copenhagen city centre, [1] a side branch of the Trans-European Suture Zone. It is one of the most significant faults in the Copenhagen area [2] being 400 to 700 meters wide and can be followed for about 30 km. [3] It runs just east of the Frederiksberg Gardens in Copenhagen. [4] [5] The Frederiksberg Municipality collects about half of its water from the fault zone. [6]
The Carlsberg Fault is located in a NNW-SSE striking fault system in the border zone between the Danish Basin and the Baltic Shield. [1] [7] Recent earthquakes indicate that this area is tectonically active. [1]
It was described for the first time in 1925 at the Carlsberg Breweries. [3]
