Abraham Kløcker

Abraham Kløcker (28 September 1673 - 2 February 1730) was a Danish merchant.

[1] In 1726, he and two other prominent merchants succeeded in obtaining the capital's privilege of being the only place where wine, brandy, salt and tobacco could be stored.

The motivation for this step was that it would make smuggling more difficult, but it was also to the greatest detriment of the independent trade in the provincial market towns, and it provoked countless complaints.

[1] Kløcker was director of the Danish West Indian-Guinean Company.

He was the father of Herman Lengerken Kløcker (1706–65) who became vice mayor of Copenhagen and owned the estate Gjeddesdal.
