Rosenborg Brøndanstalt

Rosenborg Brøndanstalt was founded on 23 March 1831 at the initiative of Jonas Collin, medical doctor Ole Bang, and Johan Georg Forchhammer to provide the citizens of Copenhagen with an alternative to visiting spas abroad.

[1] First Frederik VI and later Christian VIII contributed to the project by donating a strip of Rosenborg Castle Gardens along Gothersgade.

In 1831, the board of directors handed in a formal application to establish the production of artificial mineral water in Copenhagen.

Bang signed the application, Jonas Collin, Theodor Suhr, c. M. Lütken and Peder Mandrup Tuxen.

Still, Tuxen managed to persuade Frederick VI to contribute to the project with a strip of Rosenborg Garden in Gothersgade.
