Emiliekilde

thumb|160px|Emiliekilde Emiliekilde is a memorial located at the corner of Strandvejen and Emiliekildevej in Klampenborg, Gentofte Municipality, in the northern suburbs of Copenhagen, Denmark. It was installed by Ernst Heinrich von Schimmelmann to commemorate his first wife, Emilie Caroline, who had recently died of tuberculosis.

==Description== The monument is 5.7 metres tall and built in reddish granite. A short flight of stairs leads up the monument, which is backed by a low wall. The wider base has an arched opening with a spring flowing from a small pipe. The monument is topped by a sandstone urn. Just below the urn is a white marble plaque with the name EMILIA'S KILDE ("Emily's Spring") in capital lettering. Further down on the monument is another white marble plaque with a short poem in carved lettering that has almost disappeared. It reads: {| |- | In Danish Emilie. Her vankede du eengang agh for længst ey meer helligt er det sted dy yndede uskyldighed himlens uskyldighed opfyldte hiertet ved dit navn og hvo som elsket nævne det med taarer Anno 1780 | In English Emilie. Thou once waited here ''alas 'tis far too long ago holy is the place thou loved innocence, divine innocence filled the heart at the mention of thy name and he who loved thee mentions it with tears Anno 1780'' |- |}
