Amaliegade 49

File:Amaliegade - botanisk have.jpg

Copenhagen's second botanical garden was situated at the site from 1752. It was created by Georg Christian Oeder in the newly founded Frederiksstaden district at the request of Frederik V, at a site bisected by Amaliegade just north of Frederik's Hospital. The smaller western section, covering just under half a hectare, was equipped with a greenhouse while the eastern section remained largely unplanted. The garden was opened to the public in 1763.

The area was reacquired by the king after eight years and the botanical garden was then moved to Gammelholm. In 1781, the site in Amaliegade was instead donated to royal building inspector Caspar Frederik Harsdorff on the condition that he would "built it over with good and permanent buildings within a period of eight years". His plan for the site was a terrace with eight individual houses. He embarked on the construction later the same year but ran into economic difficulties and eventually had to give them up altogether. Andreas Hallander and Johan Martin Quist, two of his former students, saved him from bankruptcy by acquiring the Amaliegade lots. Hallander acquired the northernmost part of the area. He started with the construction of the building at the corner of Toldbodgade (No. 69 K), now Amaliegade 49). It was completed in 1788.{{cite web|url=https://www.indenforvoldene.dk/amaliegade-45-esplanaden-46|title=Amaliegade 45 / Esplanaden 46|language=Danish|website=indenforvoldene.dk|accessdate=12 January 2021}}

The property was sold to Magnus von Deernath, son-in-law of Andreas Peter Bernstorff, upon completion.

In 1798, Deernath sold the property to Cai Reventlows. On his retirement in late 1802, he left Copenhagen, settling permanently on his estates in Holstein. In the new cadastre of 1806, his property in Amaliegade was listed as No. 134 in St. Ann's East Quarter. It was sold to architect Andreas Kirkerup the same year.

In 1808, Kirkerup sold the property to restaurateur Louis Engelbauer. He opened a restaurant in the building.

At the time of the 1834 census, No. 134 was home to eight households. August Durchholtz, a master baker, resided on the ground floor with his sister Henriette Durchholtz, his son Frederik August Durchholtz, his foster daughter Magdalene Møller and one maid.{{cite web|url=https://www.danishfamilysearch.dk/cid3234562|title=Folketælling - 1834 - August Durchholtz|language=da|website=Danishfamilysearch.dk|access-date=27 November 2021}} Alhed Eleonore Hetscher, a 46-year-old widow, resided in the other ground-floor apartment with her two children (aged 26 and 30), a lodger and a maid.{{cite web|url=https://www.danishfamilysearch.dk/cid3234567|title=Folketælling - 1834 - Alhed Eleonore Hetscher|language=da|website=Danishfamilysearch.dk|access-date=27 November 2021}} Ane Kristine Gerlack, a 61-year-old married woman, resided on the first floor with her two daughters (aged 20 and 26), a lodger and a maid.{{cite web|url=https://www.danishfamilysearch.dk/cid3234572|title=Folketælling - 1834 - Ane Kristine Gerlack|language=da|website=Danishfamilysearch.dk|access-date=27 November 2021}} Fransika Anthon Widl, a royal cook for Prince Frederik, resided in the other first floor apartment with his wife Sophie Sørensen, their two children (aged two and four) and two maids.{{cite web|url=https://www.danishfamilysearch.dk/cid3234577|title=Folketælling - 1834 - Fransika Anthon Widl|language=da|website=Danishfamilysearch.dk|access-date=27 November 2021}} Carl August de Coninck, a secretary in the Supreme Court, resided on the second floor with the 23-year-old lodger Carl August Bierfreund.{{cite web|url=https://www.danishfamilysearch.dk/cid3234583|title=Folketælling - 1834 - Catl August de Coninck|language=da|website=Danishfamilysearch.dk|access-date=27 November 2021}} Johan Christian Hjelte, a lieutenant and teacher at the Army Cadet Academy, resided in the other second floor apartment.{{cite web|url=https://www.danishfamilysearch.dk/cid3234585|title=Folketælling - 1834 - Johan Christian Hjelte|language=da|website=Danishfamilysearch.dk|access-date=27 November 2021}} Søren Andersen, a workman, resided in the basement with a maid.{{cite web|url=https://www.danishfamilysearch.dk/cid3234586|title=Folketælling - 1834 - Søren Andersen|language=da|website=Danishfamilysearch.dk|access-date=27 November 2021}} Lars Olsen, another workman, resided in the building with his wife Johanne Cathrine Jacobsen, their three children (aged five to ten) and one maid.{{cite web|url=https://www.danishfamilysearch.dk/cid3234588|title=Folketælling - 1834 - Lars Olsen|language=da|website=Danishfamilysearch.dk|access-date=27 November 2021}}

The building consists of three floors over a high cellar. The main facade on Amaliegade is seven bays long. It has rustication on the ground floor and Ionic order pilasters between the windows on the two upper floors. The three central bays are tipped by a triangular pediment with a relief of a seated woman holding a monocular. The putto by her side was supposedly moulded by Bertel Thorvaldsen according to a drawing by Nicolaus Wolff (1762–1813). A gate in the left hand side of the building opens to a central courtyard. The facade on Esplanaden is also seven bays long but without decorative elements. The two facades are joined by a chamfered corner bay.

Axcel founder Christian Frigast, Danske Bank chairman Ole Andersen, former Nordea CEO Christian Clausen and Mærsk chairman Jim Hagemann Snabe created an office community in the building in 2006. {{cite web|url=https://www.business.dk/ejendomme/her-er-kontorfaellesskabet-med-flest-af-landets-mest-magtfulde-topbosser|title=Her er kontorfællesskabet med flest af landets mest magtfulde topbosser|language=Danish|publisher=Berlingske|accessdate=30 April 2018}}
