Nyhavn 67 is a listed property overlooking the Nyhavn Canal in central Copenhagen, Denmark. The writer Hans Christian Andersen lived in the building as a lodger with only short interruptions from 1848 to 1865.
Thecoppersmith 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 asNo. 20 in St. Ann's East Quarter.
The property was later divided into a number of smaller properties. The present building was constructed in 1737 for merchant Jens Sørensen Bøsholt. The property was listed in the new cadastre of 1756 as No. 34 in St. Ann's East Quarter. It was owned by stadsmægler Carl Wilder (1698–1865) at that time. In 1872, he purchased Andreas Bjørn's former dockyard on the other side of the harbour. It was after his death passed down to his son Lars Wilder. Wilders Plads is still named after them.
District doctor Johan Buntzen resided in the building from the 1780s and until his death in 1807. [2] At the time of the 1787 census, Johann Buntzen resided in his building with his mother-in-law Christine Sandgaard, his five daughters (aged five to 14), the 21-year-old niece Elisabeth Burmester, four clerks working for him, a caretaker and three maids. [3] The eldest of the five daughters, Thomasine, later known as Thomasine Gyllembourg, was engaged to her house teacher Peter Andreas Heiberg when she was just 15 years old and they were married at the Royal Copenhagen Shooting Society's premises outside the Western City Gate on 7 May 1790. [4]
By 1801, Thomasine Heiberg had moved back to her father's house, now with the 10-year-old son Johan Ludvig Heiberg, after her husband had fled the country. [5]
In the new cadastre of 1806, Buntzen's property was again listed as No. 34. He died on 8 February 1808. In 1795, Elisabeth Dorothea Buntzen (1776—1867) had married her father's business partner Froderus Christian Jiirgensen (1759-). They owned the building after her father's death. Jürgensen died on 8 January 1808. Elisabeth Dorothea Buntzen kept the building until a few years after her husband's death. Faved with a substantial bill for maintenance of the bylwark in front of her home, it was unclear weather she would be able to keep her property. Her neighbour Andreas Nielsen (owner of [[Nyhavn 69, then No. 35) subsequently offered to acquire her property in exchange for a property in Kronprinsensgade, claiming that he needed the space for a new warehouse. Júrgensen's niece, Lucie Elise Fich (née Hertz), mentions the episode in her memoirs (published as Domprovsten i Roskilde. Brudstykke af en Familiekønike. Memoirer og Breve No. X, 1909). She interprets it as Nielsen's way of helping her aunt out of a diffucult situation, both because the new warehouse was never built and because the property in Kronprinsensgade was larger and more valuable than the one in Nyhavn. [6]
No. 34 was home to 16 residents in five households at the time of the 1834 census. Christen Hansen Høyer, a skiper, resided on the ground floor with his wife Ane Christine Høyer and one maid. [7] Christian August Lassen, a high-ranking civil servant in the naval administration at Holmen, resided on the first floor with his wife Emilie Nannethe Cathala, their three children (aged two to 11) and two maids. [8] Søren Christensen and Poul Friderig Gliorup, a first mate and a jurist, respectively, resided on the second floor. [9] Christian Bohn, a skipper, resided in the garret with his sister Johanne Bohn. [10] Dorthea Maria Christens, a barkeeper, resided in the basement with one lodger. [11]
The property was home to 17 residents in five households at the 1840 census. Christian Hans Høyer, a skipper, resided on the ground floor with his wife Anna Cathrine Høyer (née Møller) and one maid.

The building was later acquired by ship captain Johannes Anholm (1807–1860). He had previous ly (1834 census) owned the property Nyhavn 15 at the other end of the canal. He was married to Joachime Anholm (né Opperheim, 1811–1886(. They operated their new b uilding as a boarding house under the name stadt Christiania.
In 1846, Anholm had his building heightened with one floor. As of 1 October 1849, Hans Christian Andersen rented three rooms on the second floor. [17] Andersen mentions his home at Nyhavn 67 in a number of letters. He first mentions it in a letter to Bernhard Severin Ingemann where he comments on the magnificent view of Christianshavn, all of Holmen and of Børsen. In a letter written to Henriette Collin on 18 October 1860, Andersen mentions that he wants to move. One of his concerns is that there are too much noise and he therefore asks her to look for a new apartment, preferably on Kongens Nytorv or the Garrison Square, where he can stay from 1 December. [18] In a letter from 20 November 1860, Henriette Collin answers that Edvard (Collin) has booked a nice room for him at Hotel d'Angleterre overlooking the square. In a letter from 6 June 1861, Henriette Collin mentions that Mrs. Anholm has asked for his address and that she wants him to move back. Andersen ended up accepting the offer but spent the summers in the countryside as a guest at various manor houses and the rooms in Nyhavn are then rented out to other lodgers. In a letter to Edvard Collin from 11 February 1866, Andersen mentions that he gave up his rooms at Nyhavn 67 back in September. He initially went on a journey to Sweden and then stayed at Hotel d'Angleterre before setting out on a new journey on 31 January. After his return to Denmark, Andersen stayed with the Melchior family at their country house Rolighed before lodging with Thora Hallager in Lille Kongensgade from 28 October 1856. [19]
Anholm's property was only home to two households at the 1860 census. Johannes and Joacgime Anholm resided on the upper floors with their six en children (aged seven to 15), one male servant and two maids.

One of the lodgers was actor at the Royal Danish Theatre Peter Louie Petersen. The three other lodgers were a journalist, a clerk and a cigar maker. [22]
