Jens Zetlitz
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jens Zetlitz (January 26, 1761—January 14, 1821), was a Norwegian poet from Stavanger, who at the close of the 18th century traveled to Copenhagen to study theology. He became a member of Det Norske Selskab, and became well known for his entertaining songs and drinking songs. He returned to Norway after completing his studies and served as minister in Vikedal and later Kviteseid until he died.
A street in Stavanger is named for Jens Zetlitz today. The pop artist/singer Bertine Zetlitz is the most famous currently living descendant.
