No. 78: Poul Fechtels Hospital

History
The building from 1732

Poul Fechtel had served as Royal Mint Master for Christian III from 1536 to 1565.

In 1570, Fechtel created a charity with 3,000 eigsdaler in capital with the aim of providing accommodation for indigent citizens. A row of small houses were constructed on a lot in Møntergade which had been granted to the project by Frederick II . The houses were variously referred to as Poul Fechtels Boder", "Mønterboderne" eller "Hamborgerboderne".

The houses were destroyed along with the rest of the street in the Copenhagen Fire of 1728 but a new building was constructed in 1732. Poul Fechtels Hospital moved to a new building on Frederikssundsvej in 1908 and its old buildings were demolished the following year when the street Christian IX2 Gade was created.[1]

gollark: No, these are not reinterpretations, these are different rules.
gollark: Silly ones!
gollark: I mean, having studied it in some detail, I guess I understand at a high level the CraftOS architecture, but `/rom/startup`, `shell`, etc are still a mystery to me.
gollark: ```Harassing other players or staff regarding the reasoning for a mute or ban, or arguing with the terms of the mute or ban, can result in extension of the mute or ban, even permanently.```also seems ridiculous, given that amazingly enough people are not always right due to being moderators.
gollark: Presumably.
