Knabrostræde 3

Knabrostræde 3 is a engineering topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand Knabrostræde 3 rather than just read about it. In short: Knabrostræde 3 is a Neoclassical property located off the major shopping street Strøget in central Copenhagen, Denmark. The building was like many of the buildings in the street constructed in the years after the Copenhagen Fire of 1795 but owes its current appearance to a comprehensive renovation in 1826 and an adaptation of the facade in 1859.

Key takeaways

Knabrostræde 3 belongs to engineering; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect Knabrostræde 3 to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.

Reference excerpt

Knabrostræde 3 is a Neoclassical property located off the major shopping street Strøget in central Copenhagen, Denmark. The building was like many of the buildings in the street constructed in the years after the Copenhagen Fire of 1795 but owes its current appearance to a comprehensive renovation in 1826 and an adaptation of the facade in 1859. On its rear is a small, partly cobbled courtyard with a former warehouse (No. 3 A) and a rear wing (No. 3 B). No. 3 was listed on the Danish registry of protected buildings and places in 1950. Chateau Motel, one of Copenhagen's largest dance and night clubs, has been based in the rear wing since 2017.

History The buildings at the site were destroyed in the Copenhagen Fire of 1795. The current building was in 1797 constructed for a sugar refinery simply known as Sukkerrafinaderiet (The Sugar Refinery). It was built on a property which continued all the way to Vimmelskaftet (now Knabrostræde 1). This large property was in the new cadastre of 1806 listed as Snaren's Quarter, No. 134. The sugar refinery's building was in 1825 sold off and separately listed as No. 134B. It was subsequently subject to a comprehensive renovation the following year. The naval officer Peter Norden Sølling (1758-1827), remembered for founding the charity Bombebøssen in Christianshavn, was among the residents in 1826. At the time of the 1840 census, No. 134B was home to a total of 27 people. These included the Supreme Court lawyer Carl Christian Birch Liebenberg. The other residents included first lieutenant and kammerjunker Frederik Christian Wichfeld, the widow of pharmacist in Frederikssund Carl Ludvig Becker and a grocer (urtekræmmer). The military officer Christian Carl Lundbye (1812-1873) resided in the building from 1851 to 1856. He would later serve as Minister of Defense from 1856 to 1859 and again from 1863 to 1864.

With the introduction of House numbering in Copenhagen 1859, Snaren's Quarter No. 134 B became Knabrostræde 3. The painter L.A. Ring lived in the building in 1886–87. On 19 July 1888, F. C. Hvilsom (1830-1903) opened a Stationery shop and bag manufactory in the building. The activities were later expanded with a book printing facility at Rolighedsvej 18. The enterprise was upon his death continued by his widow Rosalie Hvilsom and their sons E. E. Hvilsom (1881-1927) and F. V. Hvilsom (1880-1936). In 1906, F. C. Hvilsoms Sønner was moved to Gothersgade 76. Mørcl & C., a coffee roastery, was after the turn of the century for a while based in the rear wing. Pan Club Copenhagen, an LGBY night club, opened in the rear wing in 1980. It closed on 14 April 2007. It was later on and off continued as an LGBT night club under other names until 2016.<ref">"Genåbning af Pan Club Knabrostræde (1996)" (in Danish). Out & About. Retrieved 28 January 2021.</ref>

Architecture No. 3 consists of three storeys over a raised cellar and is ten bays long. The sugar refinery's building was already in 1826 subject to extensive alterations and was prior to this just five bays long. The current facade design dates mainly from another adaptation in 1856. The building has rusticated finishing on the ground floor, stucco decorations with lion heads under the windows on the first Storey and a cornice supported by corbels under the roof. The building was also subject to alterations in 1870. The gateway opens to a small, partly cobbled courtyard. A short perpendicular side wing extends from the rear side of the building. A former warehouse (No. 3A) and a rear wing (No. 3B) are located in the courtyard. The former warehouse is five bays wide with large central openings with shutters and a wall dormer with the remains of a pulley.

Today Knabrostæde 3 was by 2008 owned by E/F Knabrostræde 3. It has later been sold to Jorcks Ejendomsselskab. The tenants include Jorcks Ejendomsselskab, a developer of video games. Chateau Motel, a dance and night club, opened in Pan Club's former premises in 1996.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Knabrostræde 3

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Knabrostræde 3 claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In engineering, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Knabrostræde 3 before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Knabrostræde 3 ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Knabrostræde 3

In research: Knabrostræde 3 appears in engineering research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Knabrostræde 3 in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Knabrostræde 3 is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Buildings and structures completed in 1797, Listed buildings and structures in Copenhagen, Neoclassical architecture in Copenhagen, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Knabrostræde 3 outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
