Danes in Copenhagen Call for Rebuilding Old Stock Exchange After Devastating Fire | News9

Following a devastating fire that engulfed Denmark's Old Stock Exchange building in Copenhagen, residents expressed their desire for it to be rebuilt to its original state. Communications director Mai Rasmussen described the landmark as "special" and "quirky," while lawyer Eva Simoni Lomholdt emphasized its iconic status for the city and the country. Firefighters continued their efforts to extinguish the last remnants of the fire, with onlookers, including cyclists on their morning commute, stopping to witness the scene. The blaze, which evoked memories of the 2019 fire at Paris' Notre-Dame Cathedral, destroyed significant portions of the 400-year-old building but historic artifacts, including paintings, were rescued. Despite the damage, efforts are underway to salvage and restore the structure to its former glory.

Une émotion intense nous étreint, nous, parisiens, quand un joyau du Patrimoine tel que la Bourse de Copenhague s'abime dans les flammes. Mais oui, comme Notre Dame à Paris, ce bâtiment sera reconstruit et sa flèche pointera fièrement ses couronnes vers le ciel , à nouveau 🙂

Copenhagen central station ( Hovedbanegården ) is also an old ( 1911 ) stylish building. Some repair works were carried out in 1986 in one side of the big hall where the local electric trains pass ( S-tog after German Schnell-Bahn ) The workmen had a big jar with remnants of paint and thinner liquid. The vapors of such liquids spread quickly and are very inflammable. Somebody probably smoked a cigarette nearby and the jar went up in flames. Yet the fire was put out after a short time because the main Copenhagen fire brigade ( Hoved-Brandstationen København ) is merely five minutes away. That side of the Central Station was completely renovated in the original style. * The distance from the main fire station to the Stock Exchange from 1622 ( Børsen ) is merely a ten minutes drive whereby it is odd that the entire building burned down. Why odd ? Because clerks were working in the building and they no doubt called the fire brigade the minute they smelled sharp smoke. * The building is about a hundred meters long. Thus if the fire started merely in one place and even in an open jar with inflammable liquids it should have been possible for the well equipped fire brigade ( powerful monitors and water cannons , high extension ladders ) to save large portions of the building. * There was a similar fishy fire two years ago in outer Copenhagen ( Grøndals-parken ). Four long blocks each with flats in four stores from about 1935 all caught fire simultaneously in the dry wooden lofts with lumber-rooms. When the fire brigade from a nearby local station ( Tomsgården Brandstation ) arrived 15 minutes later they had no chance of saving any part. * Everybody left their apartments in time nobody was injured. If you watch the films from that fire here on KZbin you will admit that the fire cannot have started in one lumber-room and then spread to the lumber-rooms in the other three blocks. Because in that case some lumber rooms would have been completely ashes while others almost intact when the brigade arrived. There was only little wind that day. See: "Grøndals Parkvej brand" or "Hvordan går 90 lejligheder i brand på rekordtid" How do 90 flats all catch fire in no time (a record time ). That question has never been answered and probably never will be neither for the Stock Exchange because such violent fires conveniently delete all traces , footsteps and fingerprints. * Yet it is a nice place there is a several kilometers long park across the road where I used to toboggan in the winter as a child. My guess is that new buildings with expensive condos will be built by some big property-owner. * Let's see whether the government sells the piece of land where the Stock Exchange was and what will be built there and by whom. Sagen stinker.
