History
Kronprinsessegade 28 was built by city builder (stadskonduktør) Jørgen Henrich Rawert in 1805–1806. Rawert was a resident in the building in 1808. Another early resident was navel officer Poul de Løvenørn who lived in the building from 1808 to 1810.[1]
Ship-owner and politician Lauritz Nicolai Hvidt lived in the building from 1812 until his death in 1856. He was a member of Copenhagen City Council from 1840 and its chairman from 1841. As a liberal politician, he was involved in the work for a free constitution. On 20 March 1848, he led a procession of 10,000 people that marched from Copenhagen City Hall on Nytorv to Christiansborg Palace.
The jurist F. T. J. Gram (1816-1871) was a resident in the building from 1848 to 1853. His next home was in Gammel Strand 36.
The politician Anders Sandøe Ørsted lived in the building as Hvidt's tenant from 1851 and remained there until his death in 1861.
