Rasmus Hansen Lange

Rasmus Hansen Lange (20 March 1752 – 8 April 1829) was a Danish Supreme Court attorney, councilman, hospital director and developer.

[1] From 1796 to 1819, Lange served as manager of the West Indies Warehouse under the Generaltoldkammeret.

[2] Lange married Frederikke Christine Hellesen (1761–1845) on 7 January 1789 in St. Nicolas' Church.

The listed buildings at Skindergade 44 and Kompagnistræde (1800) in Copenhagen were thus both built and owned by him.

[3][4] Lange died on 8 April 1829 and is buried in Assistens Cemetery.

[1] He is seen together with other members of the Lange family in an 1809 painting by the German-Swiss painter Johannes Senn [da] (1780–1861).
