The coppersmith Henrik Ehm purchased a large property at the site in 1682, comprising all the properties now known as Nyhavn59–69 and Kvæsthusgade 2–4. [1] His property was listed in Copenhagen's first cadastre of 1689 as No. 20 in St. Ann's East Quarter.

Oscar Kretzschmer (1899-), a businessman and manufacturer, purchased the property in 1970.

Architecture

The building is constructed with four storeys over a walk-put basement and is just four bays wide. The plastered, yellow-painted facade is finished with a belt course above the ground flor, a sill course below the first-floor windows and a simple cornice below the roof. The main entrance is located in the bay furthest to the east. It is topped by a transom widow. The basement entrance next to it is flanked by cast iron railings shaped as griffons. The rear side of the building is constructed in undressed brick on the ground floor, followed by two storeys with red-painted timber framing and yellow-painted infills, and finally a Mansard roof. A three-storey side wing extends from the rear side of the building and is itself attached to a two-storey rear wing. These two wings are both constructed in brick. They are both dressed and yellow-painted, with monopitched red tile roofs. The building shares a central courtyard with Nyhavn 59. [1] [ verification needed ]
