History

Early history

The property was listed in Copenhagen's first cadastre from 1689 as No. 54 in Frimand's Quarter, owned by shoemaker Hendrich Balch. The property was destroyed in the Copenhagen Fire of 1728, together with most of the other buildings in the area. [1] The fire site was subsequently expanded with a small portion of No. 65 (owned by Baltzer Sung in 1689). The present building on the site was constructed for shoemaker Kristian Krebs. [2] Krebs' profession dominated the street in the 18th century. In spite of its relatively short length, Klosterstræde was thus home to up to 21 shoemakers at a time. [3]

Architecture

The just four bays wide facade was crowned by a two-bay gabled wall dormer. The front wing was heightened with one storey some time between 1782 and 1795. The facades towards the street and yard and one of the gables were at the same time reconstructed in brick. The facade is finished with a projecting band above the groind floor and a white-ainted cornice. It features a projecting rectangular band between the two central windows of the first and second floor and a recessed rectangular band between the two central windows of the second and third floor. The facade is plastered and green-painted on the ground floor and the exposed part of the basement and rendered with iron vitriol on the upper floors. The window frames are white-painted. [1]
