The Store Strandstræde property was listed in Copenhagen's first cadastre from 1689 as No. 42 in St. Ann's East Quarter, owned by Danske Kancelli courier Peder Andersen.

The Nyhavn property was listed in Copenhagen's first cadastre from 1689 as No. 1 in St. Ann's East Quarter (Sankt Annæ Øster Kvarter), owned by locksmith Hans Monnike. A new building was constructed in 1753 fir locksmith Peder Jørgensen Ambus.

The building was in 1776 purchased by wine merchant Lars Fogh Rasmusen. He had two years earlier started his own wine business. His widow Dorethe (née Helt) was after his death in 1782 a second time married to Peter Handerup (born 1746), another wine merchant, who from then on continued the business. At the time of the 1787 census, they resided in the building with two children from Helt's first marriage, an apprentice and two maids. [2] In 1792, No. 1 and the associated wine business was taken over by Johan Friderich Inselmann (1753–1798).

In 1798, Inselmann sold the property and associated wine business to Niels Hansen (1769–1801). At the time of the 1801 census, Hansen resided in the building with his 21-year-old wife Bolette Kirstine Hvidberg, their two-year-old son Anders Hvidberg Hansen, two employees in Hansen's wine business (one of them an apprentice) and two maids. [3] Otto Didrich Hansen, a controller at [the Class-Lottery and possibly a relative of the proprietor, was in 1801 also living in the building with his wife Agnete Rasmussen, the 13-year-old boy Peter Martin Linck Meyer and one maid. [4]

When Niels Hansen died later in the same year, Bolette Kirstine Hansen (née Hvidberg) took over the operations.

Jürgensen and Lorck

In 1808, Bolette Kirstine Hansen married Frantz Diderich Jürgensen (1777–1840) to whom the company and property was then ceded in accordance with the Danish property laws of the time. In 1817, he merged Nyhavn 1 with Store Strandstræde 2. [5]

At the time of the 1834 census, Frantz Diderich Jürgensen and Bollette Kirstine Hvidberg resided in the building with their five unmarried children (aged 13 24) and four employees. The 24-year-old son Hans Ludvig Jürgensen was active in the company. [6]

Frantz Diderich Jürgensen died later in 1840. The employee Niels Ferdinand Lorck was subsequently married to Jürgensen's daughter Johanne and the family's wine business was then continued by him. Johanne Marie Lorck (née Jürgensen) continued the company upon her husband's death in 1844 with her brother Hans Ludvig Jürgensen as management.

The property was home to 17 residents in three households at the time of the 1850 census. Johanne and Hans Ludvig Jørgensen resided on the ground floor with the wine merchant (employee) Emil Gabriel Brænning, one apprentice, one male servant and one maid.

[12]

Madame Lorcj's wine bar was particularly popular with the actors from the Royal Danish Theatre on the other side of Kongens Nytorv. The customers included Emil and Anna Poulsen, Olaf Poulsen and the writer Carl Møller. [13]

Foght family

The company was taken over by Magnus Vilhelm Foght (1831–1894) in 1857. His property was home to four households at the 1860 census. Wilhelm Magnus Foght resided in the building with the wine merchant (employee, vinhandlersvend) Peter John Sørensen and one maid. [14] Juliane Dorothea Mørck resided in the building with her daughter Emilie Dorthea Elisabeth Mørck, two lodgers, a housekeeper, one male servant and one maid. [15] Johanne Marie Lorck was still residing in the building with her son Frantz Andreas Lorck and the lodger Johannes Frederik Meyer (architect). [16] Peter Schram, an opera singer, resided in the building with his wife Johanne Marie Schram (née Sachmann) and their 14-year-old daughter Arpholine Frederikke Johanne Wedschoell Schram. [17]

The company was acquired by George Lorange in 1887. In 1896, it was acquired by Detlev Frederik Schnack. Royal Danish Theatre actor and chamber singer Peter Schram resided in the apartment on the second floor of Nyavn 1 from 1860 to 1875.
