History

Store Kongensgade 79 was constructed in 1832 for sugar manufacturer Christoph Hedemann (1780-).[1] The adjacent building at No. 77 had been completed for him in 1832.[2]

The writer, politician and publisher Edvard Brandes resided on the third floor from 1793 to 1896. The politician Tyge Rothe (1877-1970) was a resident on the third floor from 1900 to 1904.[3]

Drawings from 1889 show a shop and a residence for the concierge in the cellar.[1] The wine company Waagepetersen's Efterfølgere was from at least 1910 to 1950 based in the building.[4]

The first to fourth floor was by 1942 operated as a boarding home. In 1964, it was converted into a hotel. In 1984, it was converted into offices and meeting rooms.[1]

Architecture

The building consists of four storeys over a raised cellar and is five bays wide. The ground storey is dressed with plaster rustication topped by a stucco frieze. The three upper floors stand in red-painted masonry with extruded "Hamburg joint".[1] The outer windows on the first floor are topped by triangular pediments supported by corbels. One long sill spans the three central windows on the second floor. The facade is at the top finished by a dentilized cornice. The tile roof is penetrated by three chimneys and features three dormer windows towards the street. The gate is topped by a fanlight and the interior walls of the gateway features four round relief medaillons, two on each side.[1] A rear wing and a warehouse in the courtyard were both constructed in 1880.[3]

Today

The building contains eight condominiums ranging in size from 67 to 161 square metres.[5]
