Biography

Hans Hein Theodor Nysom applied his engineering talents to the planning of railways and public works, believing that careful design could link Norway's cities and shores more firmly together. He labored to reconcile technical innovation with the practical needs of growing towns.

Colleagues recalled his patient explanations and insistence on exacting standards, qualities that left a foundation for tomorrow's builders and now mark his resting place at Vår Frelsers gravlund.
