Professor Martin Hammerich (1811–1881) was among other things headmaster at Borgerdydsskolen (the civic virtue school) in Christianshavn and a writer of literary history. In 1841, he married Anna Mathea Aagaard (1820–1904), whose family owned Iselingen manor. The manor was handed over to Martin and Anna Hammerich in 1867.
