Hjorte Apotek (Copenhagen)

Hjorte Apotek was a pharmacy located at Gothersgade 35 in central Copenhagen, Denmark.

Six years later, she expanded the property eastwards through the acquisition of an extra strip of land when Ny Kongensgade (now Gothersgade) was constructed.

In the mid-1750s, the entire property was acquired by the three siblings Hans, Susanne and Wilchen Ribolt.

Shortly after the turn of the century, Wilchen Ribolt divided the land into smaller properties.

The facade of the side wing was also crowned by a three-bay gabled wall dormer.

Finally, there was a nine-bay rear wing, also of half-timbered construction in three storeys with monopitched roof and also a three-bay gable.

In 1752–1753, it was occupied by carpenter Jacob Larsen but it is not clear weather he owned it or merely lived there as a tenant.

Alexander Kølpin (1731–1801), a professor at the Royal Academy of Surgery, resided in the building with his housekeeper Anne Sotmann, the surgery amanuensis Johan Heinrich Christian Feldtman, the military surgeon Johan Friedrich Feldtman, a maid, a coachman and a caretaker.

[1] Jacob Friedrich Schlaffer, a tea merchant, resided in the building with his wife Elisabeth Magdalene NN, their nine-year-old foster son Peter Hofman, the maid Kirstine Jacobsdatter and the 71-year-old lodger Melchior Johan von Witten.

[2] On 27 December 1799, Nicolaj Tychsen (1751–804) was granted a royal license to open a pharmacy on Gothersgade in Copenhagen.

138 was again listed as the home of Jølpin's housekeeper Anne Sotman, the chamber maid Helene Dorthe Arps, the lodger Ellen Samueline Grønlund, the surgeon's apprentice Hans Flor and one maid.

[4] Tychsen's widow Anna Sørine Henrikke (née Hollensen) continued the operations after his death in 1804.

[4] Lauritz Peter Holmblad, a 30-year-old manufacturer, was also living on the first floor with his six-year-old son.
