Reference excerpt

Vester Voldgade 21 is a Neoclassical property in Vester Voldgade, close to City Hall Square, in Copenhagen, Denmark. The Hotel Valdemar was from 1870 to 1917 based in the building. It was listed on the Danish registry of protected buildings and places in 1974.

History

Early history Two smaller houses at the site were destroyed in the Copenhagen Fire of 1795. The current building was constructed in 1797–98 for the innkeeper Jørgen Petersen. It was then a three-storey building with a saddle roof. The property was in 1832 heightened by his heirs with an additional storey and a Mansard roof.

Hotel Valdemar

The Hotel Valdemar opened in the building in 1870. It was later followed by a number of other hotels on the short street section between Jarmers Plads and Vestergade: Møllers Hotel (later Meyers Hotel), Park Hotel (Hotel Fox and now Hotel Sp 34, No. 3), Hotel Falster (later Hotel Sønderjylland and Ny Boulevard, No. 15), Gjæstgiveriet Harreschous Enke (later Hotel du Boulevard and then Hotel Hafnia, No. 23), Hotel Kong Frederik (previously Den Hvide Hanes, No. 25), Industrihotellet (No 29), Hotel Prinsen (previously Jacobsens Gjæstgiveri, No. 31), and Hotel Bellevue (No. 39). The Hotel Valdemar was more humble than the others. N. Yde purchased the hotel in the 1890s. He had an apartment on the ground floor before moving to Frederiksberg and leaving the management of the hotel in the hands of K. L. Bendtsen and later Lars Hansen. The hotel closed c. 1917.

Later history Vester Voldgade 21 was after the closure of the hotel owned first by Emissions-Anstalten and then by Forsikringsselskabet No Sve Dan. The businessman A. P. Nissen was among the residents in 1919. In around 1930, it was purchased by a private individual, Ellen Lind, who lived elsewhere. Københavns Huslejerforening and Frederiksberg Huslejerforening were among the tenants for the next almost 40 years. Danmarks Lejerforening was for a while also based in the building. Other tenants included a law firm, a goldsmith, a carpet company and a language institute. A commercial art gallery named Malernes Udstilling was another tenant. Denmark's first American-style diner, with the city's first soda fountain opened in the building in 1942. It was initially called Jack's Soda Fountain, but its name was after 4–5 years changed to The International Soda Fountain or Willi's Place. Willie D. Witt served milkshakes while his mother worked in the kitchen. It was a popular hang-out for people from the media, fashion and music industries as well as young people who hoped to be "discovered". The customers included Claus Pagh and Bent Fabritius-Bjerre.

Cultural references The International Soda Fountain plays a central role in Leif Panduro's film Støvsugerbanden.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Vester Voldgade 21

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Vester Voldgade 21 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 Vester Voldgade 21 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 Vester Voldgade 21 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 Vester Voldgade 21

In research: Vester Voldgade 21 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 Vester Voldgade 21 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: Vester Voldgade 21 is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Buildings and structures completed in 1798, Listed buildings and structures in Copenhagen, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Vester Voldgade 21 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.
