History

In the Middle Ages the street was considered part of Hyskenstræde. In the 16th century it became known under various names. In 1551 it is thus referred to as "that street where Niels Tommesen lives" (""thet strede som Niels Tommesen wdi boer") and in 1604 as Vejerhusstræde (Weighhouse Street) after the weigh house (vejerboden) which had been built at Gammel Strand in 1581. The name Naboløs is first seen in 1713, probably because only one house fronted the street at that time.[1] This situation lasted until the Copenhagen Fire of 1728. The street was again destroyed in the Copenhagen Fire of 1795. The Vejerbod was demolished in 1857.

Notable buildings and residents
No.6: Henriette Melchiors Stiftelse

All six buildings in the street have been listed on the Danish registry of protected buildings and places.

No.2

No. 6 is known as Henriette Melchiors Stiftelse.[2] It was built as charitable housing in 1796-1797 at the initiative of Henriette Melchiors, a member of the prominent Jewish Melchior family. The area along Gammel Strand was home to Copenhagen's Jewish community. The city's first Synagogue was situated in Læderstræde. The residences are today reserved for widows of scientists or artists.[3]

No. 1 (1798-1799), No. 3 (1798) and No. 5 (1797-98) were all built by the master builder Hans Christian Ondrup.[4]

No. 2 is from 1797 and was built by L. L. Thrane and Frantz Philip Lange.[5] No. 4 is from 1802 and was designed by J. L. Thrane.[6]

gollark: Wait, wouldn't that either just end up hardcoding a big list of sites *or* end up just having to pull from search engines?
