Andreas Claussen (4 July 1883 – 24 October 1957) was a Norwegian barrister, civil servant and politician for the Liberal Party.
He was born in Trondheim as the son of hotelier Peter Albert Claussen (1854–1920) and Cecilie Ingbertine Debes (1852–1931).
He was also a competitive figure skater during his younger days,[1] and later chaired the Norwegian Skating Association from 1916 to 1918 and 1919 to 1922[2] as well as Trondhjems Skøiteklub.
[1] In April 1940, Nazi Germany invaded and occupied Norway, and the regular political authorities were put out of the running.
He survived a sea plane crash in 1948,[1] in which Bertrand Russell was involved as well,[8] but died in October 1957 in Trondheim.
