context_page_description: Abraham Pelt was a Danish industrialist and philanthropist.
context_section_description: In 1779, having no longer any living heirs, Pelt established a home for 16 elderly men and women, Pelts Plejestiftelse (or Den Peltske Stiftelse), which was located in Larslejsstræde, adjacent to two similar institutions. One had been operated by St. peter's Church while the other, Thymes Stiftelse, had been established by Winand Thyme in 1775. They were later merged under the name  Skt. Petri kirkes, Thymes og Pelts plejestiftelse. It  was destroyed in the British bombardment of Copenhagen in 1807 but a new and larger building was completed after the war.
  A new building (Larslejsstræde 7) was built in 1899 to design by the architect Frederik Lecy. It was built as part of a larger complex which also comprised new precises for the Herman congregation's Sankt Petri Schule. The new building contained 38 one-room apartments as well as various residences for people associated with the school, congregation or church. Most of the residents were German expatriate women. In 1997, the building was sold to the school which needed more space for its increasing number of students.
