Hans Jacob Scheel

Hans Jacob Scheel (23 August 1714, died 21 January 1774) was a Dano-Norwegian Major-General.

He was the son of Hans Heinrich Scheel (1668-1738) and Benedicte Dorothea Gjordsdatter (1684-1752).

He served as Chamberlain at the Danish Royal Court.

However, construction costs at Frogner exceeded his financial ability and he was forced him to sell the manor in 1760.

He was married to Catharine Christine von Brüggemann (1725-1800) and was the father of Frederik Otto Scheel (1748–1803).
