Overgaden Neden Vamdet 15 and Overgaden Neden Vamdet 17 were originally part of the same property. It was owned by distiller and timber merchant Claus Byssing in 1675. The only building on the property was then a building with shed roof pulled back from the street. The rest of the property was used for the storage of timber. [1] Byssing's property was listed as No. 93 in Christianshavn Quarter in Copenhagen's first cadastre of 1689. It was later divided into two separate properties. The property now known as Overgaden Neden Vamdet 15 was listed as No. 162 in the new cadastre of 1756 and was then owned by anchor smith Jonas Jochumsen Lund. The other property was listed as No. 161 and belonged to ekviopagemester Chrisitan Frederiks Irgens, [2]

The property was owned by merchant (grosserer) Niels Brock Sommerfeldt at the 1801 census. He resided in the building with his wife Friderica Charlotte Sees, 57-year-old Magdalene Nørager, Johan Georg Nielsen (theology student), clerk Friderich Christ. Amodsen, one maid and one coachman. [3]

Sommerfeldt parted with the property after acquiring the Niels Brock House in Strandgade a few years later. [2] His old property was listed as No. 165 in the new cadastre of 1806. It was then owned by N. Guldager. [2] A section of the property was transferred to No. 164 in 1822. [2]

The property was home to seven residents in three households at the 1840 census. Adolph Wilhelm Schander, a helmsman, resided in the building with his wife Jorane Gondersen and their seven-year-old daughter Wilhelmine Schander. [4] Rebekka Henning and Juliane Lomann, two unmarried women, both of them employed with needlework, resided in another dwelling. [5] The third household consisted of joiner Nicolay Carl Bochsen and his wife Sofie Schmidt. [6]

Pfeiffer and the new building

The property was later acquired by master cooper Ludvig Carl Rasmus Pheiffer (1809-1873). He resided on the first floor at the 1845 census. He lived there with his wife Jacobine Pheiffer, their daughter Caroline, their son Edvard, three cooper's apprentices and one lodger. [7] The first-floor apartment was still occupied by Pheiffer and his wife at the 1850 census. They now lived there with four children and three apprentices. [7] Pheiffer kept the property after moving to Gentofte in around 1854. [7] In 1858–59, he replaced it with the present building on the site. The new building was listed as Overgaden Neden Vandet 15 when house numbering was introduced the same year as a supplement to the old cadastral numbers (by quarter). [2]

[9] Ole Christian Green, a businessman (grosserer), resided on the first floor with his wife Caroline Dorothea (née Jensen), their four sons (aged 10 to 23), his sister-in-law Herlich Catharine Jensen and one maid.

[14] Heering's own property is not registered with any residents at the 1860 census and may therefore have been under renovation at the time.

Sandholt, their daughter Harriet Clausen, his mother-in-law Gudrun Sandholt (née Jonsen), his sister-in-law Helfridur Høhling (née Sandholt) and her daughter Asa Høhling, one male servant and two maids.

[18] Carl Christian Holm, bookkeeper at an oil mill, resided on the third floor with his wife Julie Emilie Petra Holm (née Holmer), their two children (aged zero and one), a female cook, a nanny and a clerk. [19] Johan Vilhelm Kummerlehn, who had now retired, was still residing on the second floor with his wife Thora Alvilde Kummerlehn, their 24-year-old son Axel Rummelhoff Kummerlehn and two maids.
