Alfred Trønsdal

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Alfred Olav Trønsdal (1896 - 1953) was a Norwegian politician for the Labour Party.

Trønsdal was first elected to Trondheim city council in 1932. With the political situation disrupted by the German occupation of Norway from 1940 to 1945, Trønsdal was selected by the County Governor of Sør-Trøndelag to serve in the temporary city council following the liberation of Norway in May 1945. From 1947 to 1950 he served as deputy mayor.

As a part of the rebuilding of post-occupation of Norway, a housing cooperative Trondheim og Omegn Bolig- og Byggelag was established in December 1945. Trønsdal became the first chairman of its board. From 1950 to his death in 1953 he worked as teknisk rådmann, a director position in the city administration.
