Bloknumre

Bloknumre, meaning block numbers in Danish, are numeric identifiers assigned to building blocks within a housing development, neighborhood, or urban area. In Danish addressing practice they function as an optional component of an address, supplementing the street name and house number to distinguish multiple buildings or sections on the same site. They support postal delivery, navigation, emergency response, and property management.

The use and format of bloknumre vary by municipality and development. A bloknummer may identify a specific building, a wing or stairwell, or a distinct section of a larger block, and it is sometimes used together with a unit or door number to form a full address. In other contexts, the bloknummer may be used mainly for internal records, parcel maps, or emergency databases rather than for public mail. Not all addresses include a bloknummer, and in many places the street name and house number suffice. Overall, bloknumre help locate specific structures within dense or multi-building areas, though they tend to be less standardized than street names and house numbers.
