Johan Wilhelm Krause
(1803 - 1889) stone cutter and lime works owner
In
1867 lime works owner
Johan Wilhelm
Krause owned
Brohuset (the bridge
house) just off Bangert
bridge and the
Ladegårdsåen. Here
he sought to build an
ice cellar and a
match stick
factory; he
did not get
permission to the ice cellar but were
allowed to start a match
stick factory.
Shortly after he
sought and received
permission to expand
the factory with fireplace for melting
sulfur.
The factory existed
only in a few years,
probably to
1869, when H.C.
Lund (not the same Mr.
Lund from Lund &
Hartmann)
rented space in the
building and established a
lacquer boiling plant for book printing.
In 1873, was for the
last time heard anything about
Krause in
Brohuset when he
established a bowling
lane and a gazebo.
