History

The building on the site was destroyed in the Copenhagen Fire of 1795. The current building was constructed by master mason Johan Joachim Schlage in 1801-02.[1] Originally from Germany, Schlage had been granted citizenship as a master mason in Copenhagen on 2 June 1797. He married Sophie Amalie Kurtzhals, Bertel Thorvaldsen's former girlfriend, some time before November 1803.[2] The Schlage family lived in the building. Their tenants were members of the higher middle-class. A grocer's shop was based in the ground floor. Schlage was a second lieutenant in the civil guard and also active in Copenhagen Fire Department. Sophie Amalie Kurtzhals kept the building after her husband's death in 1833. She died at the site in 1850.[3]

N. G. Wolff, Professor of Theology at the University of Copenhagen and pastor at Vartov Church, was among the tenants in 1835.[1] The illustrator P. C. Klæstrup was among the residents in the years around 1853.[4]

Arcgitecture

The building consists of three storeys over a raised cellar and is five bays wide. The two slightly projecting outer bays are wider than the three central ones. A gateway sits in the left hand side of the building and the window in the ground floor's fifth bay is placed in an arched niche with a Keystone similar to the one above the gateway to create an impression of symmetry.[5]
