 | Carl Esaias Rønneberg and his wife Hanna Jocoba Hoffman
Hanna Jacoba and Carl Esaias Rønnebergs headstones, an short story by Per Rønneberg Bremnes
Hanna Jacoba Hoffmann (1868-1905) and Carl Esaias Rønneberg (1854-1912) headstones were made by the Danish sculptor Anne Marie Carl-Nielsen (1863-1945). She probably was in close contact with Hanna Jacoba's mother, Karen Marie Bøe (1838-1908). This connection is learned from a letter between Anne Marie and Carl Esaias dated July 1908. In the letter it appears that the Hanna Jacobas headstone was not finished. Further more we read from the same letter that Carl Esaias had already ordered his own headstone.
Why the Rønneberg family used an Danish sculptor has been a question researched by the Odense Museum, among others. The answer to that question can possibly be found through Hanna Jacoba's father. His name was Frederik Christian Steenbuch Hoffmann (1827-1887). Even if he was born in Norway both of his surnames could have originated in Denmark. If that is the case, I am sure we have the connection between the Rønneberg family and the sculptor.
Hanna Jacobas headstones was placed at Ålesund church by the sculptor in 1910. Carl Esaias headstone was placed at the church in 1914. A great monument to the man who laid down the foundation stone of the Ålesund church.
Hanna Jacoba og Carl Esaias Rønnebergs gravstener, en kort historie av Per Rønneberg Bremnes
Hanna Jacoba Hoffmann (1868-1905) og Carl Esaias Rønneberg (1854-1912) gravstener var laget av den danske skulptøren Anne Marie Carl-Nielsen (1863-1945). Hun hadde muligens god kontakt med Hanna Jacobas mor, Karen Marie Bøe (1838-1908). Dette kan forståes av et brev mellom Anne Marie og Carl Esaias i juli 1908. I brevet fremgår det at Hanna Jacobas gravsten ikke er ferdig. Videre kan det leses av det same brev at Carl Esaias allerede hadde bestilt sin egen gravsten.
Hvorfor Rønneberg familien brukte en dansk sculptor har vært et spørsmål for Odense museum. Svaret fines kanskje i Hanna Jacobas far. Hans navn var Frederik Christian Steenbuch Hoffmann (1827-1887). Selv om han er født I Norge, kan begge hans etternavn ha sin opprinnelse I Danmark. Skulle dette være tilfelle, er jeg rimelig sikker på at vi har funnet forbindelsen mellom Rønneberg familien og skulptøren.
Hanna Jacobas gravsten ble oppstilt ved Ålesund kirke av skulptøren i 1910. Carl Esaias gravsten ble oppstilt i 1914. Et flott monument over mannen som la ned grunnstenen til Ålesund kirke.
They are buried at ”Vestre kirkegård” on Ålesund kirke. On Hannas grave the inscription is from Psalm 61-V. On Carl Esaias it is 23 – V |

 | Georg Daniel Barth Rønneberg family home
“The Rønneberg house in Sjøholt” by Per Rønneberg Bremnes
Georg Daniel Barth Rønneberg was the ”district police superintendant” from 1848 to 1877. He was born on Valderøy in 1818 to Karen Sibylla Baade and Elias Rønneberg. During the first term in office he lived at the farm Blindheim in Sykkylven, but later moved to Sjøholt around 1860. There he built a house where he lived with his wife Ane Cimber Hofseth and their son Johan Christopher Rønneberg. Their daughter, Karen Sibylla Baade Rønneberg, was born there in 1862. The picture of the Rønneberg house is taken after 1880. Georg Daniel Barth Rønneberg had already moved out when the picture was taken.
“Rønneberg huset i Sjøholt” av Per Rønneberg Bremnes
Georg Daniel Barth Rønneberg var lensmann i årene 1848 til 1877. Han var sønn av Karen Sibylla Baade og Elias Rønneberg og var født på Valderøy i 1818. I den første tiden av sin embetsutøvelse bodde han på gården Blindheim i Sykkylven, men flyttet i 1860 årene til Sjøholt. Der bygget han seg hus på en tomt som han bygslet og flyttet inn med konen Ane Cimber Hofseth og sønnen Johan Christopher Rønneberg. Datteren Karen Sibylla Baade Rønneberg er født i Rønneberg huset. Bildet som vises av Rønneberg huset er tatt i 1880 årene etter at Georg Daniel Barth Rønneberg med familie var flyttet fra stedet.

 | Giske Estate - Giske Herregård
Giske Estate, by Per Rønneberg Bremnes
In 1582 Giske was a royal estate. In 1762 the estate was bought by Nils Hagerup. When he died in 1789, Giske went to his son Christopher Hagerup. He did a lot on the estate. By doing so he get into debt. After the death of Christoffer Hagerup in 1804, the estate was put on auction to meet the debts. Christoffer’s widow, Anne Kristine Danholm, was able to buy the property. In 1812 she transferred it to her son-in-law, Peder Elias Rønneberg, who was married to her daughter, Charlotte Marie Hagerup. He also got into economic trouble, and the estate was again sold at auction in 1828. Two years later Peder Elias died.
The estate went in dissolution in the 16th century. The old marble church from 1130 is the only building left of the estate.
Giske herregård, av Per Rønneberg Bremnes
Giske ble i 1582 omgjort til krongods. Godset ble i 1762 kjøpt av Nils Hagerup. Ved hans død i 1789, ble godset overtatt av sønnen Christopher Hagerup. Han gjorde mange forbedringer på godset, men kom med dette i økonomiske vanskeligheter. Da han døde i 1804, og boet ble oppgjort var, det konkurs. På en auksjon i 1805 ble Giske solgt til enken Anne Kristine Danholm. Hun overdro herregården til sin svigersønn Peder Elias Rønneberg, som var gift med hennes datter Charlotte Marie Hagerup. Også han fikk økonomiske vanskeligheter, og herregården ble igjen solgt på auksjon. Denne gang i 1828. To år etter døde Peder Elias.
Godset gikk i oppløsing i slutten av det 16.århundre. Den gamle marmorkirken fra 1130
er det eneste som står igjen av de gamle bygningene på godset

 | Gløersen Family Crest
Slekten Gløersen av Per Rønneberg Bremnes
Slekten Gløersen’s stamfar var Gløer Jonsen Rønneld (1640-1713) fra gården Rønneld i Skjeberg, Østfold. Han var lensmann i Skjeberg fra 1666 til sin død, og eier av Østre Rønneld og adskillig annen eiendom i Skjeberg.Han giftet seg med Marthe Olsdatter (?-1730) og fikk mange etterkommere. Blant annet Hans Andreas Tanberg Gløersen som omtales som Bergensbanens far. En annen kjent person er Per Gloersen, forsker ved NASA. De som bærer navnet Gløersen i dag (Gloersen in USA) er alle etterkommere av Gløer og Marthe.
To av barna til Gløer og Marthe – Ole og Karen – fikk etterkommere som giftet seg inn i Rønneberg slekten. I alt var det 3 etterkommere av dem som giftet seg inn i Rønneberg slekten. Ole (Oluf) Gløersen (1673-1734) representerer den agnatiske linjen. Hans 3ggr. tippoldebarn Olaf Gløersen gifter seg med Augusta Parelius Frost, datter av Ole Frost og Caroline Christiane Schølberg Rønneberg.
Karen Gløersdatter (1677-1758) representerer den kognatiske linjen. To av hennes tipptippoldebarn – Christian Ulrik Kyhn Gløersen og Astrid Gløersen – giftet seg også inn i Rønneberg slekten. Disse to var søsken og barn av Kristian Gløersen og Ragnhild Kyhn. Christian Ulrik giftet seg med Anna Margrethe Rønneberg, datter av Joakim Holmboe Rønneberg og Louise Fredrikke Brinchmann. Søsteren Astrid giftet seg med Carl Esaias Rønneberg, sønn av Carl Esaias Rønneberg og Hanna Jacoba Hoffmann.
Olaf Gløersen’s var sønn av seksmenning til Christian Ulrik og Astrid.
The Gløersen family by Per Rønneberg Bremnes
The Gløersen’s originated from Gløer Jonsen Rønneld (1640-1713) from the farm Rønneld in Skjeberg. He was the district police superintendent in the area from 1666 until his death. He was also the owner of the farm “Østre Rønneld” and other lands and properties in the same area. He was married to Marthe Olsdatter (? – 1730) and they had some notable descendants. Among them was Hans Andreas Tanberg Gløersen, the “father” of the railway line between Bergen and Oslo. Another was Per Gloersen, a scientist at NASA, in the USA. Today, all persons who have the surname Gløersen (or Gloersen in USA) are descendants of Gløer and Marthe.
Two of the children of Gløer and Marthe – Ole and Karen – have descendants that married into the Rønneberg family. Ole (Oluf) Gløersen (1673-1734) represents the male line. His 4th great grandson Olaf Gløersen married Augusta Parelius Frost, daughter of Ole Frost and Caroline Christiane Schølberg Rønneberg.
Karen Gløersdatter (1677-1758) represents the female line. Two of her great-great-great grandchildren – Christian Ulrik Kyhn Gløersen and Astrid Gløersen – also married into the Rønneberg family. Christian and Astrid were siblings and the children of Kristian Gløersen and Ragnhild Kyhn. Christian Ulrik married Anna Margrethe Rønneberg, daughter of Joakim Holmboe Rønneberg and Louise Fredrikke Brinchmann. Christian Ulrik Kyhn Gløersen’s sister, Astrid, married Carl Esaias Rønneberg, son of Carl Esaias Rønneberg and Hanna Jacoba Hoffmann.
Olaf Gløersen’s was 5th cousin, once removed, to Christian Ulrik and Astrid.

 | Visit from Germany -Visitt fra Tyskland
Four German descendants of Elias Rønneberg visited Norway in 1938
By Per Rønneberg Bremnes
In the newspaper “Sunnmørsposten” in the year 1938, there is an article about “The German Rønnebergs”. In the article we can read about four members of the German Rønneberg family – Corrinna Møller (married Merzyn), Elfriede Møller (married Helmcke), Hilda Møller (married Schwindrazheim) and Wilhelm Ronneberg Møller. They were siblings, and they came to find their roots in Norway.
The siblings were the great-grand children of merchant and pilot Elias Rønneberg from Valderhaug. Elias was the brother of Rasmus Rønneberg on Larsnes and Carl Esaias in Ålesund. It is been told about Elias that he owned “half the Valderøy island”. The siblings’ grandfather was Peter Christopher Rønneberg – the son of Elias and Karen Sibylla Baade. Peter Christopher went to Germany in 1830 in the age of 18. The newspaper states that Peter Christopher was the father of the siblings, but that is not correct. They were born to Corinna Marie Charlotte Rønneberg – Peter Christophers daughter – and Fritz Møller.
In Ålesund, the siblings were met by several members of the family. In a photo taken by Sunnmørsposten, we find the siblings: Louise Rønneberg (married Bødtker), Christopher and Harald Rønneberg. The youngest members of the family were also represented. They were Christopher’s children Bjarne and Gunnar. Gunnar told me that it was great to be in the newspaper. The fact that the visitors were relatives from Germany was not important.
The visitors had a trip to Korsen before they went to the church yard in Borgund, were they visited the burial place of their great-grand parents. It was there Wilhelm should have said, ”At this moment my heart is tumbling”.
Fire tyske etterkommere av Elias Rønneberg på besøk i Norge i 1938
Av Per Rønneberg Bremnes
I avisen ”Sunnmørsposten” i året 1938 er der en artikkel om ”De tyske Rønneberg-er”. I artikkelen leser vi om fire medlemmer av den tyske Rønneberg familien – Corinna Møller (gift Merzyn), Elfriede Møller (gift Helmcke), Hilda Møller (gift Schwindrazheim) og Wilhelm Ronneberg Møller. De var alle søsken og var i Norge med skipet ”Monte Rosa” for å finne sine røtter.
Søsknene var oldebarn av handelsmann og losoldermann Elias Rønneberg på Valderhaug. Elias var bror av Rasmus Rønneberg på Larsnes og Carl Esaias Rønneberg i Ålesund. Om Elias er det blitt fortalt at han eide ”halve Valderhaug”. Søsknenes bestefar var Peter Christopher Rønneberg – sønn av Elias og Karen Sibylla Rødder Baade. Peter Christopher dro til Tyskland som 18 åring i 1830 og giftet seg der med Marie Jørgensen. Sunnmørsposten skriver at Peter Christopher var de fire søskenes far, men det er feil. Deres mor var datter av Peter Christopher. Hennes navn var Corinna Marie Charlotte Rønneberg og var gift med Fritz Møller.
I Ålesund var det flere av Rønneberg familien som tok i mot dem. På et foto som Sunnmørsposten tok, finner vi søsknene Louise Rønneberg (gift Bødtker), Christopher og Harald Rønneberg. Også den yngre garde representert ved Christopers sønner Bjarne og Gunnar. Fotoet er tatt på Valderøy der hvor det gamle Rønneberghuset stod. En av dem som er med på dette bildet - Gunnar Rønneberg - fortalte meg at det var stor stas å komme i avisen. At de besøkende var slektninger fra Tyskland lå den yngre garde mindre vekt på.
Reisefølget besøkte Korsen før de dro ut til kikegården i Borgund, hvor de besøkte familiegravstedet hvor deres oldeforeldre hviler. På gravstedet skal Wilhelm Ronneberg Møller – som var prest – ha
sagt: ”Nå banker mitt hjerte”. |

In the churchyard by the Church: Sculptor identified
In the churchyard by the Ålesund, Norway church, Vestre kirkegård, there is an especially nice headstone. It is the headstone of Carl Esaias Rønneberg (1854-1912) and his wife Hanna Jacoba Rønneberg (1868-1905). The work bears witness of first-class workmanship. On the one side – the east side – is a relief of the two: Carl Esaias and Hanna Jacoba. On the other side – the west side – there are two other figures. The first is a man holding his cape before his face. The second is a woman, with her head bent down. She is holding an instrument, and a strong hand guides her. Both show signs of great sorrow.
It was not commonly known who made these sculptures. Most people believed that they were made under the motto Deo soli gloria (God alone honors), and they were satisfied with that.
Help from Bergen
On the west side of the headstone near the bottom of the bronze plaque are some letters. But these letters were not easy to interpret until some friendly help came from a Bergen, Norway resident, Per Rønneberg Bremnes. He told me that a female Danish sculptor made the headstones. Her name was Anne Marie Carl-Nielsen and she lived from 1863 until 1945. That gave me the solution to the mystery. The letters engraved on the plaque, A M C-N stand for the sculptor’s name – A(nne) M(arie) C(arl)-N(ielsen).
This is all we know at this time
It would have been nice if we had more information about this Danish sculptor. What other works she has done, what place she held in Danish culture history and so on. Unfortunately, we cannot do that at the present time. But perhaps one day we will gain more knowledge about this sculptor and her work.
A letter from AMC-N
Per Rønneberg Bremnes refers to a letter from Anne Marie Carl-Nielsen to Carl Esaias Rønneberg. In the letter it is clear Carl Esaias Rønneberg himself ordered the headstone and the relief “Portrait Medaillonen”. The sculptor wrote to Carl Esaias saying she was most occupied at the time, but added:
“I will, however, promise you that I shall make your headstone as good as I am able to and for the price I have told you. But I must beg you to have patience with me. My illness last year put me very much behind so I have to work very hard to make up for lost time. At the and of August I will promise you to finish your relief and the headstone”
Per R. Bremnes mentioned that the Hanna Jacoba headstone was put in place at the Ålesund church by the sculptor in 1910. The Carl Esaias headstone was put in place in 1914, two years after his death.
