History

Early history

Kronprinsessegade 8 was built by Johan Martin Quist for Jeremias Henriques and Jacob Henriques in 1803-1804 .[1]

The composer Christoph Ernst Friedrich Weyse lived in an apartment in the building from 1815. In September 1817, a 14-year-old Hans Christian Andersen came to the apartment to pick up the first portion of a monthly allowance. It was the result of a fund-raising that Weyse had initiated at a dinner party held by Giuseppe Siboni the previous evening.[1] Weyse moved to a new apartment in the building at No. 36. He was very fond of the street and it has been said about him the "he never ventured out of Kronprinsessegade and the 6
8 time".[2]

The later politician Christian Albrecht Bluhme, then a defence judge advocate (auditør) in the Second Jutland Infantry Regiment, was a resident in the building in 1821. Frederik Bülow, then a lieutenant in the Royal Danish Army, lived in the building in 1821–22.[1]

Jost van Docum, a counter admiral, resided on the ground floor at the 1834 census. He lived there with his wife Jost van Documm tehir three sons (aged 24 to 32(, one male servant and two maids.[3]
