Talk:Ulrich Kaas

where was the fire?
Hej Ramblersen May I ask for your help again? This article Ulrich Kaas (1677 - 1746) has the admiral's house in Copenhagen destroyed by fire in November 1728. The geni.com reference mentions Ølufsgaard which appears to be out in Amager (Olufsgård 2 A, Sirgræsvej, Kastrup, Denmark), but whether this was where the fire was I do not know. With your encyclopaedic knowledge of Copenhagen, can you find out?? Also I was initially confused between Herlev and Nørre Herlev, the latter being nearer Hillerød and his estate at Sandsvigsgaard - again, from my home, I cannot find Sandvigsgaard. The Geni website above seems equally confused (or is it?) preferring the northwest corner of Bornholm! I hope these puzzles will interest you. Viking1808 (talk) 17:31, 24 January 2021 (UTC)

User:Viking1808:Looks like another great article you made there! He owned Ølufsgaard in South Jutland from 1719 to 1741. Sandviggaard at Hillerød was brought into the marriage by Kaas' second wife. Source: Historien om Sandviggaard by Lennart Weber (2016) Filmhusene has been built on its former land.

I can't find the location of his former townhouse in Copenhagen. I do see that the source mentions "November" but I assume that it was destroyed in the Copenhagen Fire of 1728 a few days earlier. I will keep an eye out for more detailed information on its location.

It may also interest you that Ulrik (Ulrich) Kaas and Johan Cornelius Krieger established a combined lime kiln and sawmill in Christianshavn (source). His second and third sons were both born in Christianshavn, so that seems also to have been where he lived after the fire. If I am right that the old house was destroyed in the Copenhagen Fire of 1728, he didn't live there before the fire since Christianshavn wasn't affected by it. His first son died in Østergade in 1804, so a wild guess could be that this was also where Kaas house was located (in case it was rebuilt and passed down to his eldest son) but since Kaas moved to Bergen such a short time thereafter it doesn't seem very likely.Ramblersen2 (talk) 18:33, 24 January 2021 (UTC) Wow! Mange tak! There is a lot there to digest. I must have driven past Ølufgaard a few times from Ribe to Varde. Thanks again Viking1808 (talk) 19:25, 24 January 2021 (UTC)
