Where did Hans Christian Andersen live?

He was born in Odense, but lived most of his adult life in Copenhagen.

The story of Hans Christian Andersen:

Andersen's father, also Hans, considered himself related to nobility. His paternal grandmother had told his father that their family had in the past belonged to a higher social class, but investigations prove these stories unfounded. - The family apparently was affiliated with Danish royalty, but through employment or trade. Today, speculation persists that Andersen may have been an illegitimate son of the royal family. In any case, King Frederick VI took a personal interest in him as a youth and paid for a part of his education. According to writer Rolf Dorset, Andersen's ancestry remains indeterminate.

Hans Christian´s family forced him however to support himself, as the family became very poor after his father's death in 1816. At 14, he moved to Copenhagen to seek employment as an actor. Having an excellent soprano voice, he was accepted into the Royal Danish Theatre, but his voice soon changed. A colleague at the theatre told him that he considered Andersen a poet. Taking the suggestion seriously, he began to focus on writing.

Andersen remain single for all of his life, Andersen was often shy around women, he often fell in love, but he were disappointed every time... One of his stories, "The Nightingale", was a written expression of his passion for the opera soprano Jenny Lind.

In the summerl August 4, 1875 he died. At the time of his death, he was an internationally renowned and treasured artist. He received a stipend from the Danish Government as a "national treasure". Before his death, steps were already underway to erect the large statue in his honor, which was completed and is prominently placed in Rosenborg Garden ("Kongens Have", sculptor A.V. Saabye, 1880) in Copenhagen.

plaquette was issued to celebrate the 100th
anniversary of the first Bing & Grondahl
