Biography[]

Karl Paul Kristian Gylche was born 30 January 1890 in either Halmstad, Sweden[2][3] or Copenhagen, Denmark[5] as the third child to bookbinder Axel Jørgen Wilhelm Gylche and wife Oline Josefine Wilhemine née Kristensen and baptized 17 September the same year.[1][2]

He was confirmed in Trinitatis Church on the nineteenth Sunday after Trinity in 1904, while residing with his parents in Store Brøndstræde 14-II, Copenhagen.[1] The two previous years his older brothers had been confirmed in the same church, with the family residing at the same address.[11][12]

After his confirmation he started working as a delivery boy, with frequent address changes in Copenhagen, until he in 1915 became a police man.[4]

By 1921 he had married and moved to a third floor apartment in Arnesvej 19,[7] where he lived in 1922 when his wife died.[4]

On 13 December 1925 in Brønshøj church he married the nine-year younger divorced cigar worker Merry Kirsten Rosenberg née Petersen.[2][10] Six months prior to the wedding his wife had given birth to their daughter, who on 26 December that year was baptized Lilian Gylche in the same church.[10]

In 1927 he had a son, Preben Gylche, who would become a member of the resistance.

The family lived in their apartment on Arnesvej 19 until 1934, where they had moved to Nordre Fasanvej 192.[13][14][15][16]

In 1937 the family moved again, to Hillerødgade 92, Copenhagen with Gylche working as a police detective (kriminalbetjent).[17][18][19]

On 19 September 1944 the German occupation force began their deportation of the Danish police including Gylche who at the time was 54 years old.[3]

On 15 November 1944 Gylche died of Erysipelas (Rosen) in the Buchenwald concentration camp.[3]

After his death[]

On 27 June 1945 in Østre kapel, Bispebjerg Cemetery a joint memorial service was held for him and his son who had been executed by the German occupation force.[3][20]

Gylche was buried in Bispebjerg Cemetery on 19 September 1945,[21] one year after the arrest of the Danish police.
