Who was Albert Nordengen?
Albert Nordengen was a Norwegian politician from the Conservative Party who became perhaps the most prominent, and best loved mayor in the history of the Norwegian capital.
He started his political career as a member of Oslo's city council in 1951. Through the years he also worked as a bank manager for Spareskillingssbanken and became group leader for the Conservative Party in the city council in 1968. In 1976 he became mayor, a position he held for fourteen years until 1990. Nordengen quickly became a much loved figure with the citizens of Oslo and despite being born in rural Østfold, he was a true Oslo patriot. In October 2002 he received the King's Order of Merit in Gold for his services to Norwegian politics. In 1993 Nordengen received the Medal of St. Hallvard.
On 9 December 2004, after speaking at a gathering for veteran athletes, he collapsed in a parking lot due to a myocardial infarction. He never regained consciousness before dying nine days later at Diakonhjemmet Hospital.
