Puggaard & Co. in 1813. The company  became a leading wholesaler of grain and was also active in the market for import of goods such as coffee and especially sugar. Puggaard was also an important philanthropist dedicating much of his fortune to social causes.Puggaard’s wife, Bolette Puggaard n\u00e9e Hage, a daughter of Christopher Friedenreich Hage, was a painter. The couple supported many of the artists of the Danish Golden Age. Their daughter married Orla Lehmann.Early life and education[edit]Puggard was born in Copenhagen in poor conditions.  His parents were Thomas Puggaard (1748-1818) and Cathrine Marie Puggaard n\u00e9e Svane (1754-1814). His father was assistant cantor at the Church of Holmen and owner of the punch bar at the Royal Theatre on Kongens Nytorv. He was initially not sent to school but had to assist in his father’s punch bar, but later attended Det von Westenske Institut in N\u00f8rregade. He had aspirations to become a merchant but was unable to find an apprenticeship and therefore trained as a surveyor before he was employed as a clerk in the head office at Classen’s Frederiksv\u00e6rk. He began his career in trade by receiving small commissions for bringing goods along on his journeys between Frederiksv\u00e6rk and Copenhagen. When Puggaard acted as secretary for Eilert Tscherning’s on his journey to Sweden in 1812, he used the opportunity to buy up English products that were unavailable in Denmark at the time.[1]H. Puggaard & Co.[edit]In 1813, Puggaard was finally licensed as merchant and established his own trading house. He went on numerous journeys to Sweden, Hamburg, England and seaports on the Baltic Sea. Puggaard specialized in exporting grain from the countries around the Baltic Sea to England but also traded in timber, herring and wine.  Puggaard’s marriage to Bolette Hage, a daughter of Christopher Friedenreich Hage a business partner on M\u00f8n, was also a key event in the development of his company. The marriage strengthened the business relationship between the two families and Puggaard later employed his brother-in-law Alfred Hage as head of his company’s activities in Nakskov and he later became a partner in the company. The Nakskov branch operated its own fleet. In 1823, it consisted of two schooners, Caroline and Anette Hage’, both built in Nakskov, the brig Bolette Puggaard, the barque Johannes Hage and schooner brig (skonnertbriggen) Hother.[2]Hans Puggaard’s son, Rudolph Puggaard, joined the Nakskov office in 1839 and  worked in a leading position at the head office in Copenhagen from 1842.Trade in grain remained the most important business area but the company was also a major importer of goods such as coffee and sugar, and later also engaged in banking.In later years the younger Hage gradually came to play a more dominant role in the company. After Alfred Hage\u2019s death, Hans Puggaard\u2019s son Rudolph took over the leadership of the company.Shipping[edit]In 1865, shortly prior to Hans Puggaard’s death but after he was no longer active in the company, H.
