Hother Hage

Edvard Philip Hother Hage (born 9 January 1816 in Stege, and deceased on 9 February 1873 in Møn) was a Danish politician and lawyer.

As a journalist, Hage was a regular contributor for the national liberal newspapers Fædrelandet and Dansk Folketidende.

Politically, he belonged to the moderate liberal school and Alexis de Tocqueville was his model.

In 1853, he bought the Marielyst Mansion in Stege, which he renamed Nybøllegaard (now Nybøllegård) and which was rebuilt at his request in 1854 by Michael Gottlieb Bindesbøll.

[3] Hother Hage is shown in the famous painting by Constantin Hansen of the Danish Constituent Assembly.
