Jens Vogt
Jens Theodor Paludan Vogt (23 September 1830 – 25 October 1892[1]) was a Norwegian engineer and first director of Kristiania Sporveisselskab who operated the first tramway in Oslo.[2]
He was the son of priest Niels Nielsen Vogt (1798–1869). He was a nephew of politicians Jørgen Herman Vogt and David Vogt, and a first cousin of Volrath Vogt and Nils Vogt.[3] He grew up in Fiskum and moved to Homansbyen in 1877. He married author Johanne Collett, and had the son Nils Collett Vogt—who became an important Norwegian poet.[2]
