CARL PETER ROLFF
1843 - 1844
Lille Grønnegade 322, Copenhagen
Right next
to Rohmell
&
Schüerers
factory
,
the tin model maker
and former
shoemaker
Carl
Peter
Rolff
in
October 1843
applied
for permission to
establish a
match stick
factory
, as he
in his application
notes that
he has previously
produced
the
so-called
dip
sulfur stick
.
The fire
department
accepts
the
premises
in the
basement of
the backyard
for
Lille
Grønnegade
322
and the 23rd of
February 1844
the almost
50
-year-old
Rolff
gets his
appropriation
.
Apparently
he did not
use it
, perhaps because he the
same year married the
almost 30
years younger
Jacobine
Fernandine
Christophersen
and
moved to
Sundbyvester
on Amager, where
he
engaged in
plastering
and
petty trade
.
