The Family Sorensen of Emmerlev, Denmark:Information about Peter Holst
Peter Holst (b. 01 Mar 1731, d. 06 May 1761)
Notes for Peter Holst:
Peter learned the trade in Norway and twice lost his entire fortune by the shipwreck of two Yachts that he owned. In spite of this he did not accept 100 Rigsdaler which his father offered him to balance what his brother's studies had cost. He built the so-called Zucherhof (Sugarhouse) in Flensburg. This was later demolished when the railway was built.
