Kristian Kornelius Hagemann Brandt
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kristian Kornelius Hagemann Brandt (8 July 1831 – 24 July 1905) was a Norwegian military officer and engineer.
He was born in Eidsberg.[1] He was a brother of law professor Fredrik Peter Brandt, and was the father of medicine professor Kristian Kornelius Hagemann Brandt (1859–1932) and Major General Fredrik Oscar Brandt (1860–1934).[2]
From 1861 to 1862, he was the chairman of the Norwegian Polytechnic Society.[3] He was elected to the Parliament of Norway in 1865 and 1868, representing the constituency of Moss og Drøbak.[4] While serving here, he proposed an inquiry into the question of a railway in Smaalenenes Amt. He has thus been called "the father of the Smaalenene Line".[1]
From 1872 to 1873, he served as the road inspector of Akershus Amt. In 1890, he reached the military rank of Major. He died in 1905.[1]
