History

Early history

[edit]
No. 25 seen on a detail from Christian Gedde's map of Snaren's Quarter, 1756.

The site was formerly made up of three separate properties. The property towards the canal was listed in Copenhagen's first cadastre of 1689 as No. 23 in Snaren's Quarter and belonged to skipper Peder Madsen at that time. The two other properties were listed as No. 31 and No. 32 and belonged to Bent Gutersen (No. 31) and distiller Hans Andersen (No. 32).[1]

The three properties were later merged into a single property. Brewer Jens Møller operated a brewery on his property. It was listed in the new cadastre of 1756 as No. 25 in Snaren's Quarter and belonged to his widow at that time.[1] A two-storey building was constructed towards the canal in around 1745.

Brewer Henrik Christian Langge(1756-1814) purchased the property in the mid-1780s. He also served as a treasurer for the Danish Asiatic Company. He lived there with his wife Elisabeth Clausen, a brewer, a brewery boy, a caretaker, a coachman two maids and one lodger at the time of the 1787 census. The lodger Hans Ebbesen worked as a senior clerk for the Danish Asiatic Company.[2] Lange heightened the building with one storey in around 1790.

Lange's first son, Michael Lange (1788-1851, who would later become Lord President (Overpræsident) of Copenhagen, was born in 1788. He was later followed by three younger siblings: Charlotte Friederica Christiane (1793-), Friederich Wilhelm Emil (1795-) and Christian Marius (1800-).

Ernst Peymann (1737-1823), an officer in the engineering troops, was a resident of the building from 1784 to 1794.[3]

Lange's property was home to 21 residents in three households at the time of the 1801 census. The owner resided in one of the apartments with his wife, their four children, his wife's brother Marcus Clausen (ship doctor), a brewer, a caretaker, two maids and a wet nurse.[4] Christian Thomassen Norup, who managed the brewery, resided in another apartment with his wife Marie Alling, two of their children (aged 32 and 33) and one maid.[5] Iver Sørensen, a former stableman, resided in the building with his wife Kirstine Buch, their nine-year-old daughter Ane Cathrine [Sørensen] and the wife's brother Niels Christian Buch (tailor).[6]

The property was around the time of the bombardment acquired by brewer Andreas Krogh (1781-1858). The building was hit by a cannonball during the bombardment (or the next one in 1807). The cannonball was subsequently embedded in the wall above the basement entrance as a memorial to the event. The present building in Magstræde was constructed for Krogh as a new brewery building in 1808–1809. The buildings in Nybrogade and Magstgræde were both heightened for Krogh in 1827.[1] The theologian Peter Rørdam [da] (1806-1883) was among the residents of the building in 1833.

The sand was transported to the site by barge. It was then sold by the sand traders to the so-called "sandmen", who drove around in the streets with their carriages. Women would then call down to them from the windows: "Hey Sandman, come up with a skæppe!" (1 skæppe = 17.3 liter),

Architecture

[edit]

Nybrogade 26

[edit]
The fanlight

Nybrogade 26 was constructed as a two-storey structure in around 1745 and later heightened in around 1790 and again in 1827. The building owes its current appearance to a renovation in 1852. The seven-bays-wide building front is vertically divided by lesenes between the windows. It is rendered in a red colour, contrasted by the white windows, cornice, cornice band above the ground floor and white details around the gate and windows in the central bay on the three lower floors. The central bay on the second floor features a balcony and there is a blind balustrade below the central window on the first floor. The gate features a fanlight and above it is a lion head. The cannonball that hit the building during the British bombardment of Copenhagen in 1796 has been inserted in the wall above the cellar entrance.

Magstræde 13

[edit]

Magstræde 13 is a five-storey structure built in brick. The front side is plastered in a red colour. The windows are relatively small and slightly arched. The roof features a central wall dormer which was originally the site of a pulley. The building is towards the yard finished in a yellow colour. The slightly projecting central bay is also on this side of the building tipped by a wall dormer.

The entire complex was listed in the Danish registry of protected buildings and places in 1918.[31]
