History
Frederik Riise: Joh. Fr. Schalburg celebrating its 25-year anniversary at Stormgade 8, 1905.

Stormgade 8 originates in two smaller town housesfrom before 1737 which were merged into one property in 1748. Adolph Sigfried von der Osten lived in the building from 1786 to 1794.[1]

Samfundet for Vanføre (now Sahva), a society for the relief of disabled people, purchased the building in 1888 after selling its old building on Toldbodvej to the politician Jacob Brønnum Scavenius Estrup. The society was based in the building until 1896.

The building was later acquired by the vintner Johan Fr. Schalburg. The company had been founded by Johan Heinrich Schalburg on 7 June 1817 in Nyborg on Funen and was moved to Copenhagen in 1870.[2] Evald Bach (born 1898) acquired the firm in 1938. It was based at Stormgade 8 until at least the 1950s.[3]

The printing business Vilh. Søborg's Efterfølger was also based in the building inj 1910. In 1945, it relocated to Amaliegade 11. [4] Dansk Dental Depor, a wholesale Company catering to dental clinics, was also based in the building in 1950.[5]

Architecture

The two town houses from 1838 which were merged into a single property in 1748 were both two storeys tall. The western town house was just three bays wide. The eastern town house was four bays wide and its ground floor was originally used as stable. A perpendicular building on the rear was also merged into the property in 1748. The entire complex was heightened by one floor in 1845. The building front seen today dates mainly from this renovation. The gateways from both of theoriginal houses has been retained. Two round reliefs are embedded in the wall above the western gateway, depicting a man riding an oxen /left) and a seated man holding a bunch og grapes (right).[6]

Today

One the first floor is a five-room condominium.[7] On the second floor is an eight-room condominium.[7]
