Karl Rosing

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Karl Anton Rosing (born August 23, 1878 in Maniitsoq ; † unknown ) was a Greenland state councilor .

Karl Rosing was the son of the Danish colonial administrator Peter Frederik Rosing (1835-1911) and his Greenlandic wife, the midwife Haldora Helene Margrethe Caroline Petrussen (1842-1901). His brothers were the missionary Christian Rosing (1866–1944) and the artist Peter Rosing (1871–1938). He was thus the uncle of Peter Rosing (1892-1965) and Otto Rosing (1896-1965).

Karl lived as a hunter in Kangaamiut , where he was elected to the second South Greenland State Council in 1917 . By the end of the legislative period in 1922, he only missed the penultimate session in 1921, at which he was not represented. He was then re-elected and represented Kangaamiut with the exception of 1925 - again without a representative - until 1926. In 1928 he acted again as a representative for Hans Kreutzmann .
