Andreas Buntzen

His home at Overgaden oven Vandet 54–56 in the Christianshavn district of Copenhagen was a meetingplace for many prominent cultural figures of his time.

He was hit hard by the Gunboat War and his economic difficulties worsened following the state bankruptcy in 1813.

It was also frequented by some of the prominent cultural figures of the time, including Jens Baggesen, Thomasine Gyllembourg (née Buntzen, his cousin) and Peter Andreas Heiberg.

Buntzen's sister was married to the military officer Frederik (Friederich) Julius Christian de Saint-Aubain.

Their son Andreas Nicolai de Saint-Aubain [da], who published his books under the pseudonym Carl Bernhard, has described life in the building in Et år i København ("One year in Copenhagen").
