Kronprinsessegade 8

In September 1817, a 14-year-old Hans Christian Andersen came to the apartment to pick up the first portion of a monthly allowance.

It was the result of a fund-raising that Weyse had initiated at a dinner party held by Giuseppe Siboni the previous evening.

[3] The later politician Christian Albrecht Bluhme, then a defence judge advocate (auditør) in the Second Jutland Infantry Regiment, was a resident in the building in 1821.

[1] Jost van Docum, a counter admiral, resided on the ground floor at the 1834 census.

He lived there with his wife Jost van Docum, their three sons (aged 24 to 32), one male servant and two maids.

He lived there with his wife Susanne Ruben (née Bloch), their three children (aged six to 3), one male servant, two maids and the lodger Hans Peter Lorentzen (ironmonger).

Isaac H. Ruben and his wife Susanne Blachm still resided on the ground floor with their four children (aged 11 to 22) and two maids.

[10] Lars Svane (1790–1874), a goods broker, resided on the second floor with his wife Julie Clausen(1796–1887), two of their sons and one maid.

The facade is finished with shadow joints on the ground floor and the exposed part of the basement.
