History[]

18th century[]

No. 96 seen on Gedde's district map of Snaren's Quarter from 1757

The site wasin the late 18th century part of three separate properties. The central part of the site was by 1689 as No. 112 owned by turner Peder Hansen. It was later expanded with part of No. 111 and No. 113. This larger property was as No. 96 by 1756 owned by brewer Jens Andersen Møller.

The property was together with most of the other buildings in the area destroyed in the Copenhagen Fire of 1795. The current building on the site was constructed for brewer Peter Møller in 1796–1797. The previous building at the site had been destroyed in the Copenhagen Fire of 1795.

19th century[]

One of the first tenants in the building was the priest (1740-1819). Royal actor Peter Jørgen Frydendahl (1766-1836) was a resident during the period of 1811–1813.[1]

Second ballet master at the Royal Danish Theatre Carl Dahlén and the actress Johanna Elisabeth Dahlén lived on the first floor in the early 1820s. Carl Dahlén accepted a young Hans Christian Andersen as a ballet student in 1821. Andersen often visited his home in Badstuestræde.[2]

The attorney Gustav Edvard Brock was a resident in the building from 1849 to 1856. He served as public prosecutor in the impeachment against the Cabinet of Ørsted-Bluhme while he lived in the building.

Carl Seifert, a manufacturer of armed doors and gates, owned the building in around 1940. The company is now based in Ballerup. Erik Myrdahls Bogtrykkeri, a printing business, was based in the building in 1935-1982.

Architecture[]

The building was likely designed by a pupil of Caspar Frederik Harsdorff. The facade is decorated with six Ionic pilasters.

The building was converted into 16 apartments by Gottlieb & Paludan Arkitekter in 2007.
