1519, and as a result, the agreement regarding the payment of 2,000 marks was confirmed and the "jewels, gold, and silver" items that were valued and liquidated were handed over to Hans Bynger in a sealed chest.
However, it seems that Anders Harcke has recently become of age and
has likely fallen out with his former guardian in the settlement with him. He is said to have turned to the king with his complaints, as on Thursday, October 6, 1519, he appeared before the city council and king Christiern's "servant and counselor," Doctor Amelungus Amelungi, who was a "doctor of canon law" and lecturer in Roman law at the University of Copenhagen, and presented a letter from the king to the city council, instructing them to immediately take possession of the valuables entrusted to Hans Byng- er and accept them into the "city's property" (in the city's custody). As a result of this royal letter, Hans Bynger was summoned to the town hall and handed over the valuables in question to the city council, and it was found that Hans Bynger had kept 20 marks of Swedish silver for 420 marks of Danish coin in clippings. After the valuables and money were placed in le- ather bags and sealed with Doctor Amelungus', Hans Bynger's and Anders Harcke's seals, the leather bags were handed over to the city's treasurer, Lyder van Vreden, to be stored in the city's chest. Like his father, city coun- cilman Hans Harcke, and stepfather Henrik Sewenick, who was apparently a clothes dealer, Anders Harcke also chose the same trade, turned his eyes to the high merchants' booths, and bought among them the horn booth with the large cellar attached, as well as the booth closest to the east. These booths have been said to have paid annual land taxes to unnamed altars in St. Peter's Church for a long time. It is obvious that Harcke has rebuilt and expanded the horn booth,
It appears obvious that Harcke rebuilt and remodeled the hornboden, located at the current Kansligatan, probably turning it into a residential home and using the second bode as a clothing shop. This remodel trans- formed the two boden into one garden, which was occupied by Anders Harcke and his family. Anders Harcke paid an annual fee of 21 1/2 marks due to the new construction, a substantial amount indicating the size of the garden and the scale of the clothing business. Anders Harcke and his clothing shop became well-known in the city, and the current Kansligatan was referred to as Anders Harcke's street until the mid-1500s or shortly after Anders Harcke sold the property. The third krambod, counting from the corner, was owned by the councilman Jacob Mickelsen in the early 1520s and was rented out to the clothing trader Albreckt Dromhowff in the early 1530s. An annual landgille of 13 marks was paid for this boden/ plot, as it was also known because it was occupied, to the St. Hans' altar in St. Petri church in the early 1540s, and 8 marks after that.
