History
[edit].jpg)
The name Rosengården can be traced back to the late 14th century when it referred to an open area with scattered buildings in the area between Krystalgade and the North Rampart.[1] One possibility is that the name referred to the roses that grew in grew in the gardens at One . Another possible explanation is that the nobleman Jens Rosengaard may have owned a house there.[2]
The low Tvermosegård (No. 12) was for many years operated as a guesthouse. It was replaced by a four-storey building in 1905. Marie Christensen established the Copenhagen Maid's School (Københavns Tjenestepigeskole) at No. 14 in 1907. A restaurant was also operated from the premises. The school was converted into a self-owning institution and relocated to Fensmarksgade 65-67 in 1926.[3]
