📍Carlsberg Honorary Residence, Copenhagen, Denmark
1932 – 1962“I spent the last and most productive years of my life in the Carlsberg Honorary Residence in Copenhagen — a magnificent mansion provided to Denmark's most distinguished citizen by the Carlsberg brewery, which I occupied from 1932 until my death in 1962. The house was extraordinary: a palatial building in its own grounds with a direct pipeline from the brewery next door ensuring a permanent supply of fresh beer, which I enjoyed. But the house was also the centre of Danish intellectual life — Einstein visited, Heisenberg visited, the young physicists of Europe came to argue and to learn. My institute at the University of Copenhagen, a short distance away, was where the quantum mechanical interpretation of physics that bears my name was worked out, but the Carlsberg residence was where I lived it — where the conversations continued over dinner, where the arguments stretched into the night, where the future of physics was discussed over Danish beer.”
