Ole Bang (27 July 1788 – 12 October 1877) was a Danish medical doctor and professor at the University of Copenhagen. He was a co-founder of Rosenborg Brøndanstalt. He was the paternal grandfather of author Herman Bang.
Early life and education
Bang was born in Copenhagen. He was the son of professor Frederik Ludvig Bang and Lovise Hansen. He attended the Schouboeske Institute and earned his Candidate of Medicine degree from the University of Copenhagen in 1808.[1]
Career
Bang served as district physician in Copenhagen from 1809 to 1818. In 1819, he became a member of Sundhedskollegiet (the Danish Health Authority) and an extraordinary professor at the university. In 1820, he became an ordinary professor. He served as rector of the university twice, first in 1824–1825 and again in 1839–1840. On 1 September 1925, he succeeded Johan Daniel Herholdt as chief physician at Frederiksberg Hospital.[1]
He was involved in the establishment of Rosenborg Brøndanstalt in 1834 as well as in Klampenborg Kurbade-Anstalt.[1]
Personal life
On 4 December 1813 in Copenhagen, Bang married Henriette Louise Aamodt (1789–1818), daughter of hairdresser Ole Aamodt and Christine Lund. On 19 June 1826 in Frederikborg Palace Chapel, he later married Sophie Marie Dahlerup (14 April 1801 – 1878), daughter of later road manager (vejfiskal), hospital administrator and postmaster in Hillerød Hans Dahlerup (1758–1838) and Vilhelmine Marie Birch (1776–1850).[1]
He was the paternal grandfather of author Herman Bang. The grandson—whose parents died in 1871 and 1875—lived with him for a few years as a young student. Herman Bang's first publication was a collection of his grandfather's poems and he later also described his uncle in the navel øøDet grå hus.[2]
Bang died on 12 October 1877. He is buried at Assistens Cemetery.[3]
