- A morning on Store Kannikestræde, where some of the university students from Borch’s College
are wearing top hats in honor of the photographer. The college had been hit during the bombardment
by the English in 1807, and it was not reconstructed until 1825 in accordance with plans drawn up
by Peder Malling. Eler’s and Regensen Colleges are farther down the street. In the background can be
seen the Round Tower with its “astronomical observatory,” from which a number of people, including
Johan Ludvig Heiberg, peered outward at the universe in order to become—as Kierkegaard had it—
”star crazy.” Opposite Borch’s College is the poet Peter Faber’s house, which today is the home of the
Søren Kierkegaard Research Centre.
