Reference excerpt

Vestergade 22 is a Neoclassical property in the Latin Quarter of Copenhagen, Denmark. The building is now part of the Politiken Hus complex. A commemorative plaque mounted on the wall of the gateway summarizes the history of the property, including the fact that Anders Sandøe Ørsted and his wife Sophie lived in the apartment on the first floor from 1805 to 1813. The building was listed on the Danish registry of protected buildings and places in 1959.

History

18th century The previous building at the site was constructed after the Copenhagen Fire of 1728. The building was for many years owned by dyers and was therefore known as Farvergården (the Dyer's House). The owner would typically live in one of the apartments in the building fronting the street and run his dyeing business from one of the side wings. An inn also known as Farvergården opened in the other side wing.

19th century

The property was at some point acquired by dyer Lars Bjørn. The building was together with most of the other buildings in the area destroyed in the Copenhagen Fire of 1795. The current building at the site was constructed for Bjørn in 1798–1799. It was later sold to master dyer Johann Pohlmann. The dyer's plant, the inn Farvergården and a grocer's shop was still operated from the premises. When Pohlmann retired, he sold the property to G. L. Fogh but continued to live in one of the apartments. The young jurist Anders Sandøe Ørsted and his wife Sophie Ørsted, a sister of Adam Oehlenschläger, lived in the apartment on the first floor from 1805. The couple was part of the city's cultural elite, and their home in Vestergade played host to literary salons. Oehlenschläger's first great historical tragedy, Haakon Jrl, was read aloud at the first time at a private party in the Ørsted couple's home on 9 March by the actor Michael Rosing. Oehlenschläger, who was traveling Europe at the time, had sent the manuscript home to Anders Sandøe Ørsted's brother Hans Christian Ørsted. The guest list comprised Oehlenschläger's fiancé Christiane Heger, her sister Kamma Rahbek, their brother Carl Heger, their father Hans Heger,, Reinholdine Schönheyder and Albertine Bull.

On Fog's retirement in c. 1858, Farvergården was sold to dyer and printer H. N. Grundtvig. The complex was later sold to two brothers named Baumgarten, whose printing business Johan Ludvig Sivertsens Bog- og Stentrykkeri (founded 1849) was then based in the side wing. In the 1890s, one of the Baumgarten brothers took over the apartment on the third floor.

20th century In 1900, Vestergade 22 was acquired by the hardware wholesaler Bucka & Nissen. The company had been founded by Marcus Bucka (died 1894) and Hans Nissen (d. 1902) in Flensburg, but moved to Copenhagen as a result of Denmark's loss of Schlesvig-Holstein in 1864. From 1884 it was based in the side wing of No. 26, and later also took over No. 24. In 1861, Bucka & Nissen moved out of the city centre. Vestergade 22–26 was then sold to the newspaper publisher Politikens Hus. The company's book publisher, Politikens Forlag, was from then on based at No. 22. The building was renovated in 1967.

Architecture The building is seven bays wide, and the facade is tipped by a gabled dormer.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Vestergade 22

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Vestergade 22 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 Vestergade 22 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 Vestergade 22 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 Vestergade 22

In research: Vestergade 22 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 Vestergade 22 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: Vestergade 22 is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Buildings and structures completed in 1799, Commemorative plaques in Copenhagen, Listed buildings and structures in Copenhagen, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Vestergade 22 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.
