[1] A boarding house known as Pjaltenborg, which provided accommodation for the very poorest part of the city's population, was located on the corner with Aabenraa.
The cheapest option in the immensely crowded building was to spend the night standing along the wall attached to a hook by a rope under the arms.
[2] The building at the corner with Tornebuskegade (Rosenborggade 9/Tornebuskgade) was originally built for a brewer named Jacob Carstensen.
The original building was designed by Jens Christian Kofoed and inaugurated on the YMCA's 22-years anniversary on 17 September 1900.
The buildings later housed the University of Copenhagen's Department of Political Science and was then known as the Rosenborg Annex.
