Stephen Hansen

Stephen Hansen (28 September 1701 – 22 January 1770) was a Danish industrialist, businessman and General War Commissioner.

Stephan Hansen's sister Anna Elisabeth West was married to Svenning Andersen, owner of Søndervang.

In 1747, he was appointed to Superior War Commissioner but resigned from the military in 1750 to focus on his civil career as an industrialist and merchant.

In 1765, Hansen sold Kronborg Rifle Factory to the Danish state for 70,000 Rigsdaler and that same year acquired Frydendal Manor at Holbæk.

The younger daughter Birgitte Cathrine Hansen (1845-1880) was married to the prominent Helsingør-based businessman Gift med Jean Christopher van Deurs.
