Karelius August Arntzen

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Karelius August Arntzen (10 November 1802 – 1876) was a Norwegian jurist, civil servant and politician.

He was born in Copenhagen,[1] where his father Andreas Arntzen took his jurist education. He moved to his father's home country Norway in 1821, and graduated as cand.jur. in 1827. He then worked as a civil servant for some time.[1]

He was later County Governor of Søndre Trondhjems Amt (today named Sør-Trøndelag) from 1840 to 1857, and of Christiania (Oslo) from 1857 to 1874.[2] He died in 1876.[1]

He was appointed acting councillor of state in the interim government which was founded during King Carl XV's illness in 1861, but did not actually assume office.[3]
