The properties No. 116/117 and No. 115 were both acquired by master saddler Johan Christian Culmsee (1698–1868) in the first half of the 1840s. The present buildings on the site were both constructed for him in 1844–45. At the time of the 1845 census, on 1 February, No. 116/117 was registered with 88 residents, indicating that at least part of the building complex had been completed at that time. Most of the tenants were workmen or craftsmenm, small-scale traders or widows employed with needlework.[2]
Culmsee resided in the neighboring building No. 115 (now Rosengården 5). His sons Harald and Charles were thus born i the building in 1844 and 1846.[3]
In 1854, Culmsee purchased Havreholm Paper Mill. The enterprise was managed by his brother Frederik Leopold Cilmsee.[4]
At the time of the 1860 census, No. 116/117 was home to 73 residents in the front wing,[5] 47 residents in the side wing to the right[6] and 54 residents in the side wing to the left.[7]
Johan Christian Culmsee was himself a resident of the building at the time of his death on 7 August 1768.[8]
