Life

Aage Bugge was the son of the Danish colonial administrator Konrad Olsen Bugge (1862-1937) and his Swedish- born, but also Danish wife Hedevig Clausen (1873-1937). His father was the grandson of Emil Anton Conrad Olsen (1806–1872), the illegitimate half-brother of August Bournonville (1805–1879). Aage's great, great grandfather was Thomas Bugge (1740–1815). His sister Ragnhild was the wife of Kristoffer Lynge (1894–1964) and Aage was thus the uncle of the politician Finn Lynge (1933–2016). On July 4, 1925, he married Anna Valborg Margrethe Jensen (1899–1971), daughter of the teacher Ludvig Christian Jensen (1859–1925) and his wife Dagmar Margrethe Thiesen (1870–1930). The theologian Knud Eyvin Bugge (1928-2020) emerged from the marriage.

His mother had learned Greenlandic and Aage grew up bilingual. In 1913 he became a student at the Sorø Akademi . In 1921 he completed his studies in theology at the University of Copenhagen as cand. Theol. and was appointed pastor in Sisimiut in 1922. In 1925 Aage Bugge became director of Grønland's seminarium . In 1934 he was appointed provost of Greenland. In 1947 he became a Greenlandic lecturer in Denmark. He was also an advisor to the Danish Ministry of Churches. In 1964 he retired. From 1951 to 1967 he was vice chairman in Den Grønlandske Kirkesag .

Under him, the teaching concept at the seminarium was greatly modernized and Aage Bugge is therefore considered to be the defining figure of an entire generation of Greenlandic teachers and catechists. He introduced compulsory Danish lessons in Greenland and was also very committed to a good Greenlandic education for the Danes working in Greenland. Aage Bugge published several books. His Danish school book was the first of its kind in Greenland. In 1960 he was the main editor of a Danish-Greenland dictionary.

In 1947 he was made a knight of the Order of Dannebrog . In 1963 he became a knight of the first degree . Aage Bugge died in Denmark in 1979 at the age of 83.
