Anders Uchermann-Sandvig
Anders Uchermann-Sandvig (21 December 1898 – 25 November 1966) was a Norwegian newspaper editor.
He was born in Lillehammer as a son of dentist and museum founder Anders Sandvig, best known for having founded Maihaugen, an innovative regional ethnological and architectural museum documenting the vernacular architecture of Gudbrandsdalen. Uchermann-Sandvig mainly spent his first decade in the press in Oppland and Hedmark, taking on the subeditor position at Østerdalens Avis in 1920. He was a journalist in Vestopland from 1921, before returning to Østerdalens Avis in 1922.[1]
He was a journalist in the newspapers Drammens Blad and Buskerud og Vestfold from 1923 to 1924, then a parliamentary correspondent for a consortium of Agrarian newspapers the next year. In 1926 he briefly served as editor-in-chief of Østfold Tidende, then a journalist in Østlendingen until he became editor-in-chief of Lillehammer Tilskuer in 1927. From 1930 he took the step down to subeditor of both Lillehammer Tilskuer and Gudbrandsdølen, and then worked as editor-in-chief of Skiensfjordens Presse from 1931 to 1936. During his time in Telemark, he chaired Telemark Press Association from 1932 to 1936 and was a deputy board member of the Norwegian Press Association.[1] He was also a secretary of the Conservative Party in Oppland during his time there.[2]
In 1936 he came to Oslo as a journalist in Morgenbladet,[1] changing position to subeditor in Aftenposten in 1946.[3] He also edited two smaller newspapers on the side, first Den Borgerlige Arbeider from 1938 to 1940, later Ullern Avis from 1948 to 1956.[4][5]
After retiring from the press, he resided in Mesnali in Lillehammer.[6] He died in November 1966.[7]
