History

Kronprinsessegade 28 was built by city builder (stadskonduktør) Jørgen Henrich Rawert in 1805-1806. Rawert was a resident in the building in 1808. Another early resident was navel officer Poul de Løvenørn who lived in the building from 1808 to 1810.[1]

Shipowner and politician Lauritz Nicolai Hvidt (1777-1856) lived in the building from 1921 until his death in 1856. He was a member of Copenhagen City Council from 1840 and its chairman from 1841. As a liberal politician, he was involved in the work for a free constitution. On 20 March 1848, he led a procession of 10,000 people that marched from Copenhagen City Hall on Nytorv to Christiansborg Palace.

The jurist F. T. J. Gram (1816-1871) was a resident in the building from 1848 to 1853. His next home was in Gammel Strand 36.

The politician Anders Sandøe Ørsted lived in the building as Hvidt's tenant from 1851 and remained there until his death in 1861.

The archeologist Jens Jacob Asmussen Worsaae lived in the building from 1853 to 1857.

Cabinet Secretary J.P. Trap (1810-1885), publisher of the monumental work Trap Danmark, lived in the building 1857-1871. The influential architect and local politician Ferdinand Meldahl lived in the building from 1858 to 1875.

Journalist and politician C. St. A. Bille (1828-1898) lived in the building from 1875 to 1880. Gyldendal director Peter Nansen (1861-1918) lived in the building from 1912 until his death in 1918.[1]

Det Hoffensbergske Etablissement, a printing business, was from at least 1910 to 1950, based in the building.[2]
