The colony villages

Havredal and Grønhøj were built for the colonists as planned villages, each with thirty farms set out along straight streets. Here is every farm, who held it in the colony years, and where it went.

Hans Smidth's painting of a red-brick, thatched farmhouse on the open heath of Alheden, with a few hens in the yard.
A farm on Alheden, a century and a half after the colonists came. Hans Smidth, Et hus på Alheden (A house on Alheden), 1912. National Gallery of Denmark (SMK), public domain.

In the first years each village was laid out with sixty houses, most of them double houses with a family in each half. In 1763, after the families judged unfit had been sent away, those who stayed were given "places and whole houses": thirty farms in each village, numbered 1 to 30 along the village streets.

The numbers in the colony's yearly reports for 1760–62 are those first house numbers. In 1761 the Franks lived in house no. 55 in Havredal, and the Märchers moved from no. 54 to no. 52. In Grønhøj the Dürrs had house no. 10 and then no. 7, one half of a double house. The other half, no. 8, was the Kriegbaums'.

In 1778–80 the crowded villages were thinned out. All ten farms on Havredal's western street moved out to new sites at Aarestrup, Trehuse and Ulvedal, and ten Grønhøj farms went to Firehuse, Resenfelde and Tohuse. Five more Grønhøj farms followed in 1793. Families who wanted to move could swap farms with families who wanted to stay, and many did.

The surveyor's maps

In 1788 and 1789 the surveyor Ancker Grolau measured both villages on the orders of the Treasury, the Rentekammer, and divided their land among the farms. Each farm was given long strips of land running out from the village. His large hand-coloured maps survive in the national map archive.

Havredal in 1789

Detail of the 1789 survey map of Havredal: the village plots numbered I to XX in red, with the farmhouses drawn as red rectangles along the streets and the field strips running out from the village.
The village on Grolau's map of Havredal, 1789, with the farms numbered I to XX and the houses drawn in red. Open the whole map (large image). Klimadatastyrelsen, Historiske Kort, free data.

On the Havredal map Grolau numbered the twenty farms still in the village from I to XX and wrote down who held each one. He started at the north end of the eastern street, and his numbering shows how the village lay: in the plans above, north is to the right. The map also marks the school, where the village herdsman lived, the smithy, and the channel that carried water through the village down to the Aarestrup stream.

Grønhøj in 1788

Detail of the 1788 survey map of Grønhøj: four blocks of farm plots around a crossroads, the houses drawn in red, the plots numbered in Roman numerals and the fields lettered around them.

Grønhøj was laid out differently from Havredal: two long streets, each row of farms cut in two by a cross street, with eight farms along each side. Grolau's table covers all thirty farms, including the ten that had moved out by then, with a note on where each one went. He names the new settlements by their direction from the village: North, West and South Frederikshøj. The table has Michael Frank on farm III. It notes that Siegmund Dürr's old farm had gone to Resenfelde and on to Trehuse, and that Johan Jacob Dürr "now has a farm at Over Frederiksmose". Where a holder cannot be matched with certainty to a farm number from 1763, the last column is empty.
