Gerling House
The Gerling House (Danish: Gerlings Gård) is a late 17th-century building complex situated at Strandgade 38 in the Christianshavn district of central Copenhagen, Denmark. It consists of a three-storey, four-bays-wide front wing towards the street and a 13-bays-long two-storey side wing on its rear. The master cooper Peter Richter established a cooper's workshop in the building in the 1830s and the property was after his death owned by his widow until 1880. The building was listed in the Danish registry of protected buildings and places in 1918. Notable former residents include the naval officer and painter Sophus Schack.
Strandgade 38 and Strandgade 40 were originally part of the same property. This large property was listed in Copenhagen's first cadastre of 1689 as No. 26 in Christianshavn Quarter, owned by brewer Niels Sørensen. The present building on the site was already constructed in 1688. It was then a two-storey building with a facade crowned by a gabled wall dormer.
The property was listed in the new cadastre of 1756 as No. 43, owned by ropemaker Johan Jensen.
The property was later divided into two properties. No. 43 A (now Strandgade 38) was home to 25 residents at the time of the 1787 census. Florentine Meyer (Buch), widow of a ropemaker, resided in the building with one maid and one male servant. Lorentz Teff, a man without employment, resided in the building with his wife Ancini Cathrina, their two children (aged two and three) and his brother Nicolay Teff. Jens Andersen Hammer, a master smith at Holmen, resided in the building with his wife Ana Dorthea and their two daughters. Poul Andersen Hvedberg, a ship carpenter, resided in the building with his wife Magreth Nicolays Datter. Carl Engelbret, another ship carpenter, resided in the building with his wife Maren Hans Datter and their two children (aged two and five). Jans Mads. Lund, another ship carpenter, resided in the building with his wife Lucia Jens Datter. Jørgen Jørgensen, a ship carpenter, resided in the building with his wife Ana Susana. Hans Nielsen Møller, another ship carpenter, resided in the building with his wife Abelone Mortens Datter.
No. 43A was home to 24 residents in six households at the 1801 census. Florentine Buch, widow of a ropemaker, resided in the building with one maid. Peder Pedersen, a concierge, resided in the building with his wife Anne Elisabeth Pedersen and their three children (aged one to six). Jens Hansen, a workman, resided in the building with his wife Elisabeth Hansen, cooper Peder Christian Bensen, Bensen's wife Kirstine Christensdatter, their one-year-old son and the widow Kirstine Hillebrandt. John T. Ullestad, another workman, resided in the building with his wife Caroline Lindberg and their two children (aged two and four). Niels C. Lindegaard, a barkeeper, resided in the building with his wife Anne Susanne (Lindegaard) and their two children (aged four and 13). Søren Severii, a workman, resided in the building with Thor Nielsen and their son Thor Nielsen.
No. 43 A was listed in the new cadastre of 1806 listed as No. 38 in Christianshavn Quarter. It was owned by ropemaker Anton Toxværd at that time. Anton Toxværd (1754-1815) was already the owner of another property in Vrogade. He was married to Anna Elisabeth Lewerents (1778-1838, his third wife). He was a captain in the Civilian Artillery (later major).
The small property on the other side of the block (1756: No. 55) was listed in the new cadastre of 1806 as No. 77, owned by master joiner Andreas Bergmann. These two properties were the same year informally merged as No. No. 39 & 77. The property was later acquired by anchor smith Hans Caspersen. He used it as an extension of his extensive workshops. In 1818, he constructed a new building towards Kongensgade (now Wildersgade 55). In 1820, he also purchased a portion of the adjacent property No. 38 (now Strandgade 40). His property was from then on registered as No. 38 B, 39 & 77.
In 1834, Peter Richter (1794-1846) established a cooper's workshop in the building. With the many trading houses, shipping companies and breweries in its immediate vicinity, it was an ideal location for a cooper's shop. Richter had already been licensed as a master cooper in 1818. His workshop had initially been located in Sankt Pederstræde and then in Torvegade. It prospered in its new location in Strandgade and he was, after a while, able to buy the building.
