The street you're looking for is Ole Rømers Vej. It doesn't exist anymore, and I've failed to find an old map showing its position. I did find enough information to know in which area it was.
1882
Efter Andragende fra vedkommende Grundejere og i Overensstemmelse med Brolægningsudvalgets Erklæring vedtog Byraadet at tillægge den private Vej, som skjærer Montanavej og som gaar fra Matr. Nr. 154 og 165 a Øst og Nr. 143 og 155a i Vest, Navn af "Ole Rømers Vej".

Following a petition from the relevant landowners and in accordance with the Declaration of the Paving Committee, the City Council decided to give the private road that intersects Montanavej and that runs from Matr. No. 154 and 165 a in the East and No. 143 and 155a in the West, the name of "Ole Rømers Vej".

1893
Efter Indstilling af Udvalget for Byens Udvidelse og Bebyggelse vedtog Byraadet at tillægge det Stykke Vej, som paa Strækningen imellem Büllovsgade og Bruunsgade fører fra Ole Rømersvej til Brammersgade, Navn af Brammersgade, der saaledes gjælder for Gaden lige fra Marselisborg Allé til Büllowsgade, imedens ikkun Fortsættelsen fra sidstnævnte Gade til Frederiks Allé benævnes Ole Rømersvej.

Following a recommendation from the Committee for the Expansion and Development of the City, the City Council decided to give the section of road that, on the stretch between Büllovsgade and Bruunsgade, leads from Ole Rømersvej to Brammersgade, the name of Brammersgade, which thus applies to the street right from Marselisborg Allé to Büllowsgade, while only the continuation from the latter street to Frederiks Allé is called Ole Rømersvej.

Zefiro,

You are a star!

We did think that might have been an option, but thanks for the confirmation!

I’ve had another look and Ole Rømers Gade looks to have be in the same place.

There's a street called Ole Rømers Gade but snippet ends in vej not gade  :-\
I've found this site very useful in the past but can't find anything under R-
https://denmark-streets.openalfa.com/aarhus-municipality/streetdir/r 

Go to that site, click on Ole Rømers Gade and you'll be able to see the location on the map. One reason I liked this site was being able to check how close different locations were from each other when researching my cousin's grandmother from Aarhus.

Looking at Google Maps the street is still there (with that name)-

Away sorting out DNA matches... I may be gone for some time many years!
