Mathiesen is a Norwegian family of Danish origin, whose members have been noted as timber magnates, land-owners and businessmen. [1]

Contents

The progenitor is the merchant Jørgen Mathiesen from Copenhagen (died 1656). His grandson Jørgen Mathiesen (1663–1742) settled in Norway, where he became bailiff in Helgeland. His descendants became timber merchants, and were co-owners of Tostrup & Mathiesen from 1842. In 1892, the Tostrup family sold their shares to the Mathiesen family, and the company was renamed Mathiesen Eidsvold Værk. From the 1990s, most of the activities were taken over by Moelven Industrier. The family also owned Linderud Manor in Oslo. [2] [3]
