Sparekassen Bikuben was a Denmark, Danish savings bank founded on 3 March 1857 in Copenhagen, Denmark.

Its former headquarters at Silkegade 6-8 was listed on the Listed buildings in Copenhagen Municipality#S, Danish registry of protected buildings and places in 1999. History Sparekassen Bikuben was founded on 3 March 1857 and was initially operated out of the bank manager's apartment at Silkegade 13. The building on the other side of the street (No. 8) was acquired in 1860. It was subsequently adapted for use as a bank building by Hans Conrad Stilling. After five years the expanding savings bank had run out of space and purchased a second building in Pilestræde but was at this point unable to acquire the building at the corner. The two buildings were replaced by a new bank building in 1881-84. The corner building was finally acquired in 1897. It was demolished and replaced by a new ...

Johan Daniel Herholdt
Johan Daniel Herholdt (13 August 1818 – 11 April 1902) was a Danish architect, professor and royal building inspector. He worked in the Historicist style and had a significant influence on Danish architecture during the second half of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th century. His most famous work is the Copenhagen University Library in Fiolstræde in Copenhagen which heralded a new trend. The strong use of red brick in large-scale cultural and civic buildings was to characterize Danish architecture for several decades. He was a leading proponent of the "national" school in Danish architecture of the period as opposed to Ferdinand Meldahl's and Vilhelm Dahlerup's "European" school. Biography Johan Daniel Herholdt was born in 1818 in Copenhagen. He first trained and worked as a carpenter until 1840. In quiet months when work was scarce, he attended evening classes at the Royal Academy and took drawing lessons in the daytime, studying first under Gustav Hetsch and later Michae ...
