Haaken C. Mathiesen

Haaken Christian Mathiesen (24 February 1827 – 10 September 1913) was a Norwegian landowner and businessperson in the forestry sector.

He was born on Linderud manor as the son of landowner Mogens Larsen Mathiesen (1799–1875) and his wife Johanne Hedevig Gløersen (1800–1885).

In the early nineteenth century, they expanded from their base at Linderud, buying large forests in Eidsvoll and Hurdal.

[1] The timber industry was booming at the time, and the opening of the Main Line in 1854 provided for transport to Christiania.

He died at Linderud manor, which he owned between 1875 and 1891 (selling it to his youngest son Christian Pierre Mathiesen), in September 1913.
