History

18th century

The site was originally part of the gardens of Sophie Amalienborg. It was later part of the garden of the Bernstorff Mansion. Bernstorff's property was listed in the new cadastre of 1756 as No. 71. It was marked as No. 287 on Christian Gedde's map of St. Ann's East Quarter. The property now known as Bredgade was later referred to as No. 71 OO 4.

Arctander and the new building

The present building on the site was built in 1801–02 by carpenter and master builder Andreas Hallander. [1] In the new cadastre of 1806, the property was listed as No. 175 in St. Ann's East Quarter. It was owned by Hans Nicolai Arctander (1757-1837) at that time. He lived in the building with his wife Agneta Birgitte Brammer and nine children. The eldest daughter Anna Alette Christine Arctander would later marry Andreas Erich Heinrich Ernst, Count von Bernstorff (1791-1834).

One of Arctander's tenants, Carl Wilhelm Jessen, a captain in the Royal Danish Navy, was among the residents of the building from 1804 to 1808. He would later serve as governor of the Danish West Indies. Hans Wilhelm v. Warnstedt, who had previously served as director of the Royal Danish Theatre, resided in the building in 1812-1817. The poet Christian Winther was among the residents in 1828 and again in 1830.

1840–1870s

The naval officer Christian Zahrtmann (da) resided in the building from 1839 to 1853.

At the 1840 census, No, 175 was home to 33 residents in five households. Ferdinand Christian Fürchtegott Bauditz, a colonel, chamberlain and marshall for Prince Ferdinand, resided on the ground floor with his wife Caroline v. Bauditz, four of their children (aged 13 to 31) and two maids. Christian Christopher Zahrtmann resided on the first floor with his wife Sophie Elisabeth Zahrtmann (née Donner), their two daughters (aged 10 and 12), a governess, a male servant and three maids. Adolph Frederik Tutein, a businessman (grosserer) and Grench vice consul, resided on the second floor with his wife Elise Vilhelmine Tutein (née Voss), their two sons (aged two and six), three maids and two lodgers. The lodgers were the widow Susanne Fenwich and her 26-year-old daughter Merry Fenwich. Andreas Felumb, a shoemaker who also served as the building's concierge, resided in the basement with his wife Christiane Margrethe Felumb and their one-year-old son. Niels Pedersen Harpsøe, a beer seller (øltapper), resided in the basement with his wife Ane Christine Harpsøe, a 35-year-old unmarried daughter and one maid. [2]

At the 1845 census, No. 175 was home to 34 residents in four households. [3] Ferdinand Bauditz (1778-1849), who had now been promoted to major-general, resided on the ground floor with his wife, four unmarried children (aged 17 to 30), two male servants and two maids. [4] Christian Christopher and Sophie Elisabeth Zahrtmann resided on the first floor with their three daughters (aged one to 16), a male servant, a coachman, two maids and a female cook. [5] Carl Ewald (1789-1866), the king's Adjutant general, resided on the second floor with his wife Frederikke Amalie Ewald (née Rosenstand Gorsti), three unmarried daughters (aged 19 to 32), one male servant and two maids. [6] Andreas Felumb (1806-), a master shoemaker, resided in the basement with his wife and four children. [7]

The painter Frederik Christian Lund resided in the building in the mid-1850s. The lawyer and politician Carl Christian Vilhelm Liebe resided there in 1861-63.

The teacher Ludvig Trier (1837-1911) lived in an apartment on the ground floor until 1874. He prepared Denmark's first female medical doctor Nielsine Nielsen for her later studies. In her diary, she describes her first meeting with him in the apartment on 22 June 1874 at 5 A.M.:"

"This meeting became of crucial significance to my study and my life—his mother had just passed away but he still occupied the comfortable apartment they had shared in Bredgade. It was in his small study facing the courtyard that he resided. A small room full of books with school desk and wax-cloth sofa, small-barred windows and greenish glass with dusty cacti—and an anteroom full of book shelves."

The businessman (grosserer) Adolf Seligmann (1839-1912) purchased the property in around 1874. [8] His property was home to 37 residents in six households at the 1885 census. Seligmann resided on the first floor with his wife Viga Seligmann, their six children (aged seven to 16), two male servants, a bonne and two maids.

Hans Carl Hansen, a building painter (malersvend), resided in the basement with his wife Marie Hansen. [9]

In 1928, Bredgade 38 was acquired by supreme court attorney H.H. Bruun who from then on ran his law firm from the premises. It was from 1944 continued by his son Jonas Bruun under his own name. [11] It moved after merging with Hjejle Gersted Mogensen under the name Bruun & Hjejle in 2009. [12]
