Grosserer-Societetet

The meeting was attended by Hans Hendrick Beck, Andreas Bjørn, Oluf Blach, P. Bortman, Søren G. Elsegaard, Michael Fabritius & Wever, Carl Hieronimus Gustmeyer, Joost van Hemert, Johan P. Issenberg, Søren Jørgensen, Jens Gregersen Klitgaard, Daniel Lindeman and Rasmus Sternberg.

Membership in Grosserer-Societetet required proof of maintaining an office, being trained as merchant, owning stakes in one or more ships, as well as keeping international correspondence.

Its affairs were from then on managed by a committee whose 13 members were elected at the Grosserer-Societetet's annual general meetings.

Finally, the committee managed the Brockian Business Schools (today Niels Brock Copenhagen Business College; see Niels Brock),[11] a benefit fund, to which fines assessed for not attending the stock exchange on time (spærrepenge) are donated; as well as a large number of grants.

Peder Severin Krøyer depicted some of the society's members in his monumental group portrait painting From Copenhagen Stock Exchange.

Carl Nielsen wrote a cantata, Kantate ved Grosserer-Societetets Hundredsaarsfest, to commemorate its 100th anniversary.
