Frederik Wagner

Biography

Frederik Wagner (1840-1923) was a Danish engineer whose career spanned the fervent years of industrialization in Copenhagen. He helped shape the capital’s expanding infrastructure, applying meticulous planning and a steady hand to projects that guided new bridges, streets, and public works toward completion.

Beloved by colleagues for his measured counsel, Wagner combined technical expertise with a human touch, mentoring younger engineers as they took up the demands of a modernizing city. He is remembered at Vestre Cemetery as a steadfast builder of both structures and civic trust.
