Peter Fenger (23 October 1719 – 24 December 1774) was a Danish merchant and slave trader. He participated in the triangular trade.

Early life and education

Fenger was born in Lübeck, the son of skipper Peter Fenger (1688–1737) and Magdalene Margrethe Seeländer (1692–1778). He came to Copenhagen in an early age where he became an apprentice in Johan Friederich Wewer's trading house. He stayed there for 14 years.[1]

Career

In 1752, Fenger established his own trading house in Christianshavn. In spite of his lack of experience as a company trader, he was hired by the Danish Asiatic Company as 1st supercargo on board the Dronning Juliana Maria on her expedition to Canton in 1753, Back in Copenhagen, in 1755, he began a partnership with Peter Borre under the name Borre & Fenger. The company traded in a wide array of products, including salt, flax, hemp and coal, spices, sugar and other colonial goods. It was also involved in the Danish slave trade. The company was based in the Irgens House and constructed the building at Overgaden neden Vandet 51 in 1761–1762.[2]

Fenger and Borre were granted a royal license to establish a sugar refinery in 1760 but do not seem to have used it. Fenger did, however, establish a large soap factory.[1] He became a member of the merchants' Council of Elders[clarification needed] and was also a member of the Council of 32 Men from 1772.[1]

She was the daughter of merchant Rasmus Brock (1695–1752) and Marie Kirstine Andersdatter Knudsen (1710–1745 and thus the sister of merchant Niels Broch.

Fenger died on 24 December 1774. The company was then continued by his widow with great skill.[1]
