History

Site history

The property in Nørregade belonged to Hof- og Stadsretten judge Hans Heger. He also operated a brewery on the site. He was the father of actor Stephan Heger and Hamma Rahbek. His property was listed in the new cadastre of 1806 as No. 45 in the North Quarter.

The present building in Nørregade (Nørregade 39) was built in 1822 for master jouiner Johan Wilhelm Benthien. In 1830, No. 45 was divided into three separate properties. The portion that faced Nørregade was merged with part of neighboring No. 46 to form No. 45 A og 46 C (norregade 39). The portion of No. 45 that faced Nørre Voldgade on the other side of the block was divided into No. 45 B (now Nørre Voldgade 48 ) and No. 45 C. (now Nørre Voldgade 46).
