Monument in honor of Madam Felle, created in 1990 by the sculptor Kari Rolfsen , in Sandviken , a district of Bergen .

Madam Felle bourgeois Oline Felle (* 1831 in Breim , in the municipality of Gloppen in the Nordfjord region , Norway ; † January 9, 1908 in Bergen , Norway) was a Norwegian landlady of German descent who became known for running her inn in Bergen.

Life

Oline Felle married a distant relative in 1858 and had two children with him. After the death of her parents-in-law and the premature death of her husband, she ran a beer shop for traders and seafarers at Sandviksveien 21 in Bergen, alone and against the will of the city council . It was not officially licensed until 1871.

Tradition has it that King Haakon VII visited Sandviks in 1906 and when he passed Madam Felle's inn, he greeted her with his hat off.

aftermath

Madam Felle owes her fame to an unknown poet who after her death wrote a drinking song with a catchy melody about her and her son Jan-Peder, called Jonnemann , which became a popular folk song in Norway: Kjenner dokker madam Felle? In 1977 it was recorded on LP by the Norwegian musicians Lothar Lindtner and Rolf Berntzen .

On the 100th anniversary of her death in 2008, a memorial service was held at the monument erected in 1990 by the Oslo sculptor Kari Rolfsen in the Sandviken district of Bergen .

Today there is a Madam Felle restaurant and pub in the harbor of Bryggen in Bergen , where jazz and rock bands perform. The events and concerts related to Madam Felle are advertised as an attraction for tourists by the Norwegian Tourist Office. The American travel journalist Darwin Porter writes about Madam Felle that it is named after the “strong-willed matriarch from the early 20th century, who was a remarkable landlady [...] and something of a legend in mountains” ( Darwin Porter )
