Søren Kristian Sommerfelt

Søren Kristian Sommerfelt (23 May 1851 – 13 June 1934) was a Norwegian priest.

He was born in Nesseby Municipality as a son of vicar Christian Sommerfelt (1819–1904) and Ida Fougner.[1] He was a nephew of Karl Linné Sommerfeldt, grandson of Søren Christian Sommerfeldt, great-grandson of Christian Sommerfeldt and great-grandnephew of Ole Hannibal Sommerfeldt.[2][3]

In 1877 he married Jørgine Marie Hiorth, a daughter of merchant Adam Hiorth and Sofie Sommerfelt.[1] She was his first cousin, and Adam Hiorth thus his uncle.

He finished his secondary education in 1869, and graduated from the Royal Frederick University with the cand.theol. in 1874.[1][4] He worked at the school Kristiania Borger- og Realskole for four years.[5] He was a curate at Østre Aker Church from 1878 and Gamlebyen Church from 1880, then vicar in Gamlebyen from 1899 to 1919, succeeding Thorvald Klaveness.[1][6]
