History

edit

Site history, 1599–1795

edit

A house was built on the site by the king in 1620–321. It was occupied from 1622 by Johan Ettersen, first as tenant and then as owner. On 31 July 1645, he mortgaged the property. On 14 March 1647, he sold it to mayor Peder Pederse and wife Margrete Clausdatter. On 25 July 1681, it was sold by their heirs to barkeeper Morten Boldt. On 29 June 1685, he sold it to master barber/surgeon Christian Franck. His property was listed in Copenhagen's first cadastre of 1689 as No. 10 in Strand Quarter. Franck's widow was later married to surgeon Hermand Baumand. On 18 June 1706, he sold the property to teahouse-owner Oluf Nielsen Lind. He owned it until at least 1728.[1]

Christian Petersen and the new building

edit

The property was destroyed in the Copenhagen Fire of 1795, together with most of the other buildings in the area. The fire came from the east and was stopped a little further to the west at the street naboløs. The present building on the site was constructed in 1798–1799 for coppersmith Christian Petersen.[7]

At the time of the 1801 census, No. 10 was home to four households. Christian Petersen resided in one of the apartments with his wife Marie Elisabeth Petersen, four coppersmiths, four apprentices, two maids and one lodger.[8] Gustav Proscht. a clerk, resided in another apartment with his wife Ane Catharine Proscht and their five children (aged four to 17).[9] Frideriche Sophie Storph, a 75-year-old widow, resided in a third apartment with two maids.[10] Jean Jaques Christophlesen Battier (Johan Jacob Battier, 1773–1805), a student, son of Christoph Battier (1733-1786), resided in the building with his wife Margrethe Thomsen Mitchell, their one-year-old son Frideriche Sophie Battier and one maid.[11] Ludvig Meyer (1780-1854), a professor, resided on the second floor with his wife Charlotte Platou and one maid.[12]

The property was listed as No. 9 in the new cadastre of 1806. It was at that time still owned by Christian Petersen.

The author Thomasine Gyllembourg and her son Johan Ludvig Heiberg were among the residents of the building in 1817–18.
