1799: Insurance papers show that Erich Erichsen was listed as owning the property "on the corner of Kongens Nytorv, Laxegade and Holmens Canal" by August 1799 at least. The property there was insured for 80,000 Rd. The document refers to a new matrikel no.: 264, and an old matrikel no.: 11,1 & 2, and a police no. which is 4300. (DNA: Kbh Brandforsikring, Vurderingsforretninger, Gamle Kvarterbøger p. 272, with further reference to p. 463). This is the same insurance sum given for Charlottenborg Slot on Kgs.

1812 - Appointed Etatsraad (BioLek III)
1818-1825 - Member of the National Bank representatives (BioLek III)

Property
Large merchant's house at Holmens Kanal, built in 1799-1801 by Casper Harsdorff (BioLek III)
Hellerupgaard estate, by Joseph Ramèe (BioLek III)
It was allegedly the quick-witted nature and talent for trade which ensured that Erichsen was able to marry Blach's widow. He led the merchant house on to be truly one the largest and most affluent in Copenhagen, see Black & Co. (BioLek III) For many years, Erichsen had his brother as his companion in the company as well as his sons (?) but especially the son's taste for luxury meant that they brought the company to ruin upon Erichsen's death (BioLek III). Gold claims it was his nephews that he introduced into the company, which makes more sense (Gold, 2014) Involved in Grosserersocietetet
