History

17th century

The Nyhavn Canal was constructed in 1671-73 to a masterplan created by the Dutch fortification engineer Henrik Ruse. The house at No. 9 was built in 1681, most likely for dock manager (havnemester) Christen Christensen. [1] Rüse was for a while among the residents. [2] Another notable, former resident is military officer and first director of the Royal Danish Theatre Hans Wilhelm von Warnstedt. The property was listed in Copenhagen's first cadastre of 1689 as No. 5 in St. Ann's East Quarter (Sankt Annæ Øster Kvarter), owned by beer seller (øltapper) Anders Thomsen.
