Hans Holmboe (8 October 1798 – 23 May 1868) was a Norwegian educator and politician.
Personal life
[edit]He was born in Trondenes as the son of bailiff Jens Holmboe (1752–1804) and his wife Anna Margrethe Irgens (1766–1851). He had several brothers and sisters.[1] His brothers Even and Leonhard Christian became involved in politics, so did his nephew Jens Holmboe.
In 1825, he married Welgjerd Endriette Løberg, who hailed from Kongsberg. The couple had four daughters and three sons.[2]
Career

He worked as a school principal[3] at Bergen Cathedral School.[4] He was also editor-in-chief of Bergens Stiftstidende for some time.
He died on 23 May 1868, aged 69, in Sande.[2]
