The Golden Age in Fredericiagade
The three classicist houses that make up Fredericiagade 12 – the front, side and back house – were all built in Denmark’s Golden Age in 1853 for master carpenter Hans W. Wulff. Around 1882, Denmark’s first female doctor Nielsine Nielsen (1850-1916) lived in the back house.
The street, which extends from Amalienborg to Nyboder, got its present name in 1869 in memory of the town Fredericia’s role in the Schleswig wars of 1848-50 and 1864. Before that time, it consisted of a number of small streets in extension of each other with names relating to the historic Copenhagen area Nyboder: Kokkegade, Nellikegade, Bjørnegade, Kaninlænge and Akademigade, the latter also called Blancogade.
