No. 5 seen on a detail from Christian Gedde's map of Snaren's Quarter, 1757.

The property was listed in Copenhagen's first cadastre of 1689 as No. 5 in Snaren's Quarter (Snarens Kvarter) and was at that time owned by ropemaker Jens Christensen. [1] The current building at Snaregade 5 was constructed for ropemaker Jørgen Poulsen in 1730–1732. The property was again listed as No. 5 in the new cadastre of 1756 and it was at that timed still owned by Poulsen. [1]

The building towards the canal was constructed in 1768 for butcher Isaac Jonas Gabriel. [1] The property belonged to brewer Lars Møller in the 1770s.

Christian Martfelt (1728–1790), an economist and co-founder of Landøkonomisk Selskab, was among the residents at No. 8 from 1870 to 1773. [2]

Cronberg family

On 9 December 1778, it was acquired by distiller Martinus Henrichsen Cronberg (1721–1786). He had married Maria Andersdatter (c. 1709 – 1781), 28 years his senior, in St. Nicolas' Church in 1760. On Christian Gedde's map of the West Quarter, he is mentioned as the proprietor of Stormgade No. 296 (now demolished). His wife died on 20 September 1891. On 22 March 1783, he wed Kirstine Jacobsdatter Sandberg (c. 1734–1808). They had four foster children. They are in a will mentioned as siblings and the fact that two of them have the same given names as Cronberg's parents indicate that they may have been the biological children of one of his brothers or sisters. Kristine Sandberg Cronberg continued the distillery following her husband's death from a stroke in 1786. [3]

Kristine Sandberg Cronberg shared the property with a substantial number of tenants. At the time of the 1787 census, the property was thus home to a total of 31 people, distributed among nine households, [4] ranging from a court painter [5] and a Jewish commissioner [6] to two women who made a living from dressing corpses. [7]

19th century

At the time of the 1801 census, No. 5 was home to a total of 43 people distributed among 12 households. Kirstine Cronberg, the owner of the property, lived there with a maid but was no longer involved in the management of the distillery. [8] Rasmus Thonnum, a brandy maker, resided in the building with his wife Ane Cathrine Pedersen, their two children (aged 10 and 12), one maid and one distillery worker. [9] Rasmus Pedersen, a tailor, resided in the building with his wife Elisabeth Lykke and two children (aged five and eight). [10] Bernt Haverin, a shoemaker, resided in the building with his wife Marie Cathrine Holmberg and their three-year-old grandson Johan Friderich Holmstrøm. [11] Hans Christophersen, a 54-year-old former soldier, resided in the building with his wife Karen Marie Christophersen, their two children (aged 19 and 24) and three lodgers. [12] Hans Magnussen, a fishmonger, resided in the building with his wife Lovise Olsen and their two daughters (aged four and six). [13] Johan Beauvent, a pensioner, resided in the building with his wife Dorthea Gierling and their 28-year-old son Johan Jacob Beauvent. [14] Jørgen Sigismund Jørgensen, a mate (sturmand), resided in the building with his wife Jacobine Vandrup, their three children (aged two to seven), his brother Peter Wilhelm Jørgensen (a building painter) and two maids. [15] Frideriche Vadskier, a 47-year-old widow with a pension, resided in the building with a maid. [16] Hans Jensen, a beer vendor (øltapper), resided in the building with his wife Hans Jensen, their three-year-old daughter and a lodger. [17]

Kristine Cronberg's property was listed in the new cadastre of 1806 as in Snaren's Quarter. [1] She remained the owner until her death in 1808. [3]

August Bournonville (1805–1879) was among the residents in 1868–1869. His next home was at Nyhavn 63. [2]
