Jensine Christine Jensen [164]

   Other names for Jensine were Jensigne Christine Larsen and Jensine Kristine Larsen.

  General Notes:

Jensine is a great example of how the poor lived in the bridge quarters in Copenhagen in the 1890s and beginning of the 1900s. In that period, she moved around an awful lot; however, as crazy as it appears, there seems to have been a perfectly good explanation:

"Poverty, unemployment, diseases, hunger, and death were something everyone experienced and even though the residents had their daily quarrels, they pulled together and helped each other when it was needed. This allowed for the kind of solidarity that many are looking for today. It was not unusual to move three to four times per year because rent money was scarce. Another reason that many families also moved from apartment to apartment is found in several memoirs written by seniors between 1890 and around 1910. It appears that there was a surplus of apartments in the bridge quarters [Nørrebro, Vesterbro, and Østerbro] where whole streets in periods were left empty. To rent out the apartments, most of the owners offered free rent to new renters for up to three months. When a move was taking place, the father of the house arrived with a pushcart that could contain most of the possessions and since many others were in the same situation there were usually helping hands." - translated from Dagligliv i Istedgade by Hanne Fabricius, Skalk, October 2013, p. 21
