Georg Ræder

Johan Georg Ræder (21 March 1814 – 3 January 1898) was a Norwegian military officer, railway pioneer and politician.

He graduated from the Military College in 1837, and was then assigned with the Engineering Brigade (Norwegian: Ingeniørbrigaden).

At the crowning ceremony of King Oscar II in the Nidaros Cathedral in 1873 he carried the Royal Sword.

A painting by Knud Bergslien from 1874 depicting this ceremony is located at the Royal Palace in Oslo.

He was a member of several public commissions, and wrote many articles for the magazine Norsk Militært Tidsskrift.
