Kronprinsessegade 18 is a Neoclassical property overlooking Rosenborg Castle Garden in central Copenhagen, Denmark. The building was together with the adjacent buildings at No. 6–18 constructed by the master builder Johan Martin Quist. It was listed in the Danish registry of protected buildings and places in 1945.

History[]

Kronprinsessegade was created in 1802 on a strip of land that had until then been part of Rosenborg Castle Garden. The land had been presented to the City of Copenhagen by the Vrown as partial compensation for a regulation of the city's street network following the Copenhagen Fire of 1795.[1] A large plot of land was acquired by the master builder Johan Martin Quist. Kronprinsessegade 18 was constructed in 1807-1813 as the last of six properties built on it (No, 8-18).[2]

The military officer P. F. Steinmann (1812-1894) resided in the building from 1847 to 1852. The civil servant and politician C. E. Bardenfleth (1807-1857) was among the residents in 1857. The actress and ballet dancer Betty Hennings (née Schnell; 1850-1939) resided in the ground floor apartment from 1886 to 1890.

The writer Einar Christiansen (1861-1939) resided in the apartment on the third floor from 1891 until his death. He was editor of 88Ilustreret Tidende]] from 1892 and artistic director of the Royal Danish Theatre from 1899.[3]
