History

Oeder's botanical garden

Oeder's Botanical Garden in Amaliegade

Copenhagen's second botanical garden was from 1752 situated at the site. [1] It was created by Georg Christian Oeder in the newly founded Frederiksstaden district at the request of Frederik V at a site bisected by Amaliegade just north of Frederik's Hospital. The smaller western section, covering just under half a hectare, was equipped with a greenhouse while the eastern section remained largely unplanted. The garden was opened to the public in 1763. The area was after eight years reacquired by the king and the botanical garden was then moved to Gammelholm. The site on the western side of Amaliegade was subsequently for a while used as a stoarage space for sandstone from Bornholm and marble from Noeway. [2]

C. F. Harsdorff and Frederik Beckmann

Harsdorff's first proposal for the site

In 1781, Caspar Frederik Harsdorff was presented with the former botanical garden in Amaliegade on condition that he would built it over with "good and permanent buildings with beautiful facades within a period of no more than eight years". Harsdorff's first proposal for the sitea terrace with eight symmetrically arranged houseswas rejected by Rentekammeret for its lack of compliance with Nicolai Eigtved's guidelines for facade design in the new Frederiksstaden district. The area along Amaliegade was instead divided into 12 lots numbered 69AK. The two first houses were already completed in 1782 and the next two followed in 1783. The construction was after that discontinued due to a lack of funding. The four houses were summetrically arraned with a central gateway in the second and third house and a front door in the first and fourt house. Harsdorff's plans for the remainder of the site may have been to repeat this arrangement twice more,

The value of the house on Parcel No. 69 D was assessed to 6,000 rigsdaler. It was shortly thereafter sold to master mason Frederik Beckmann. In spring 1888, Beckmann purchased a pieace of land on the rear facing the never completed street Skippergade on the rear of his property. He then heightened the perpendicular side wing and constructed a give-storey rear wing. On 4 May 1795, he insured it for 9,500 eigsdaler. [3]

Architecture

The building consists of three storeys over a raised cellar and is 12 bays long. The asymmetrically placed median risalit with the gate reflects that the building was constructed as two individual houses. It is located in the four central bays of Beckmann's eight-bay extension from 1788 while the four southernmost bays fate from Harsdorff's house from 1791. The Mansard roof features six dormer windows. Two perpendicular side wings extend from the rear side of the building along the southern and northern margin of the lot. [1]
