Formerly this was an area of fortifications, created by Christian IV, in 1600. These fortifications were in turn protected by a moat. In 1950, the process of redevelopment of the area began and this moat looked more like an open sewer. It was decided to place this now famous street over the old moat. The land along the street was sold in lots starting in 1856. Mostly buildings dedicated to charity, such as for officers' widows, were constructed. The buildings at numbers 8, 10 and 12, built in the mid-1800s, are listed in the Danish register of protected buildings and sites.

In the early 1950s, Saxogade residents sent a large letter of protest. They had had enough of the miserable housing conditions.

The desire for an improvement in their housing was centered mostly on the children, since the families lived in overcrowded, small one-room apartments, where they could sleep up to 10 people.

The shooting range wall is a castle-like wall flanked by two residential properties located between Skydebanehaven and Istedgade. The wall was constructed as a bullet trap to protect traffic along the then new street, Istedgade, from projectiles from the Royal Danish Army at Skydebane (the Shooting range), which was where Skydebanehaven is today. The wall forms the point de vue for Skydebanegade , which with its uniform, richly decorated houses starts from the opposite side of Istedgade.

Istedgade is named in memory of the 1850 Battle of Isted in the First Schleswig War. It is one of the most important streets in Vesterbro, renowned for its role in the second world war and for being a drug-hit area and the largest red light district in Scandinavia. During WW2 the street was an important refuge for the Danish resistance and the phrase: "They can take Rome, they can take Paris, but Istedgade will never fall" was a popular slogan
