Nyhavn 31 is a listed property overlooking the Nyhavn canal in central Copenhagen, Denmark.
The property was listed in Copenhagen's first cadastre of 1689 as No. 11 in St. Ann's East Quarter. It was owned by skipper Mikkel Jensen at that time. The present building on the site was constructed with two storeys for skipper Thomas Andersen between 1691 and 1714. The property was listed in the new cadastre of 1756 as No. 16 in St. Ann's East Quarter and was owned by skipper Peder Løg at that time.
The wealthy merchant Andreas Bodenhoff acquired the property in 1770 and lived there until his death in 1794. At the time of the 1787 census, he lived there with his son Andreas, his daughter Giertrud, the clerks Conrath Ditlew Hopman (fuldmægtig) and Christian Lund (skriverkarl), three caretakers and two maids. [1]
In 1799 the property was acquired by wholesaler Edvard Gram (1769-1858). He heightened the building with one floor in the same year. At the time of the 1801 census, he resided in the building with his 17-year-old wife Christiane Bech, four employees in his grocery business, a caretaker, a coachman and two maids. [2]
In the new cadastre of 1806, the property was again listed as No. 16. It was by then still owned by Gram. Gram was appointed both as Kammerråd and Swedish consil-general.
In the early 1820s the property was acquired by the general trader (grosserer) Peter Christian Knudtzon.
The merchant Hans Puggaard and his wife Bolette, a painter, resided in the building in 1826 but moved to Nyhavn 42 the following year. They socialized with many of the leading artists of the day. Their daughter Maria, who was only three years old at the time, would later marry the politician Orla Lehmann. Søren Henrik Petersen (1788–1860), a printmaker, was for a while also among the residents. [3]
One of the apartments was for a while let out to the French-German businessman Jean Antoinne Henri Garrigues (1782-1746). He had moved to Copenhagen in 1817, where he was involved in the short-lived Baltic Trading Company. In 1822, he was appointed Portuguese Consul-General in Copenhagen. In 1828, he was also appointed as Brazilian Vice Consul. He traded under the name J. A. H. Garrigues. In 1832, he bought the house at Pustervig No. 196 (now Hauser Plads 10). [4]
Knudtzon's property was home to 11 residents in two households at the 1834 census. Peter Christian Knudtzon resided on the second floor with his son Jess Nicolaj Knudtzen (then in Spain) and one maid. [5] Niels Høeg Husted (c. 1793-1835), another wholesaler (grosserer), resided on the first floor with his wife Rosaline Sophie Husted, three employees in his wholesale business, one male servant and two maids. [6] Rosaline Sophie Husted was in her first marriage the mother of the opera singer Ida Wulff. In 1831, she had married the military officer and later postmaster Ernst Frederik von Holstein.
The property was home to 14 residents in three households at the 1840 census. W. Holtmann, a senior clerk, resided on the ground floor with grocer Chr. Anton Jørgensen, grocer Hans Christian Huus and one maid. [7] Peter Christian Knudtzon was now residing on the first floor with his wife L. Knudtzon, one male servant and one maid. [8] Peter Severin Giessing, a broker (mægler; a son of pastor Rasmus Jørgen Giessing in Bogense), resided on the second floor with his wife Cathrine C. Giessing, his son Søren Sommer Giessing, his niece Sophie Gotlibsen and one maid. [9] Back in 1834, Giessing and his wife had lived at Nyhavn 17.
Knudtzon went bankrupt in the early 1840s. He therefore had to sell the property. A few years later, with capital from his brothers in Norway, he was able to construct the corner building at Nyhavn 47. His son Frederik Gotschalk Knudtzon (1843-1917) mentions the building in his memoirs. [10]
The Knutson family had not yet moved at the 1845 census. Knutson and his wife lived on the first floor with their two children (aged two and four), one male servant and three maids. [11] Morten Johansen, a grocer (urtekræmmer) resided on the ground floor with his wife Wilhelmine Johansen, their five children (aged one to nine), a grocer (employee), an apprentice, a male servant and two maids. [12] Peter Severin Giessing and his wife resided on the second floor with his nephews Georg and Peter Holger Giessing (students; sons of Johan Georg Giessing in Thorkilstrup), his sister Jacobine Giessing (listed as a husjomfru) and two maids. [13]

Jürgensen, a skipper, resided in the basement with his wife Christiane Frederikke (née Bede), their two children (aged two and four), two maids and one lodger. [17]
Hans Georg Worm's wholesale company H.G. Worm & Co. was from its foundation in 1865 based on the second floor of the rear wing. The company was responsible for distributing match boxes from Jönköping Tändstickfabrik in Sweden. By 1875, H. C. Worm & Co. sold a total of 9.7 million match boxes, many of which were exported to North and South America. [18] Thorvald Giessing operated another wholesale company from the No. 31 in the years 1877–1918. [19] Christian Gelert's wholesale business was from 1888 to 1901 based in the building. [20]

The building was listed by the Danish Heritage Agency in the Danish national registry of protected buildings in 1945. It was restored by the architect Alfred Homann in 1981. The building has both housed the Royal Danish Theatre's administration while the building on Kongens Nytorv was refurbished and the Danish Library Agency. In 2010–11, CFP Groupe purchased the building and converted it into apartments. [22]
