Timeline

1869

Anders Sigurd Lange was born in Nordstrand, Aker (now a part of Oslo) to doctor Alf Lange (1869–1929) and Anna Elisabeth Svensson (1873–1955).

He had two older siblings, Alexander and Karen.

Although he was born in Aker, the family moved to Foss in Bjelland when he was only six weeks old, owing to his father being appointed district physician for a region consisting of Bjelland, Grindheim and Åseral.

The Lange family was originally from Holstein and Denmark, and included several prominent public officials, priests, doctors and businessmen.

Lange lived in Foss for his first seven years.

1904

Anders Sigurd Lange (5 September 1904 – 18 October 1974) was a Norwegian political organiser, speaker and editor who led his eponymously named political party Anders Lange's Party into parliament in 1973.

1911

Lange's parents were divorced in 1911, and Anna Elisabeth moved to Bergen with her three children.

They lived in humble conditions in a guest house in Fjøsanger for the first two to three years.

The family thereafter moved to Kristiania (now named Oslo), settling in Skillebekk.

1920

Educated as a forestry technician, Lange got involved in politics following his stay in Argentina in the late 1920s.

1921

Lange started his secondary education at Vestheim School in 1921, but failed to graduate examen artium.

1923

He subsequently moved to Kristiansand in 1923, and finished his education at Kristiansand Cathedral School in 1924.

He was not interested in politics in his youth, spending his free time in outdoor recreation and sports.

In Kristiania (Oslo), Lange had played football and ice hockey for the club Mercantile SFK, and he continued to play football for FK Donn in Kristiansand.

He broke his nose several times during play, giving him his characteristic crooked nose.

During his time in the military, Lange became interested in forestry after reading the 1923 book Skogen og folket by Christian Gierløff.

1924

Lange held his first public speech (albeit a short one), the Kristiansand russ speech, on 17 May 1924 in honour of Henrik Wergeland.

He thereafter served in the Royal Guards for his conscription service.

1925

Lange began his political career in the Norwegian right-wing Fatherland League organisation, which had been founded in 1925 by prominent figures such as Christian Michelsen and Fridtjof Nansen.

1926

He graduated as a forestry technician at the Oddernes forestry school in 1926.

He had part of his practice in Andebu, and after graduating he continued working there for a local farmer.

1927

A cousin of his father later tipped him that he could get work at a forestry school in Argentina, and Lange set out for the country in 1927.

He went to port in Buenos Aires, got in connection with Kristiansand-based Norwegians, and travelled north to Tartagal near the border to Paraguay.

He became engaged with the Saco company, and headed a work team of 15 men.

Lange had also brought with him football equipment to the country, and he became known by the locals as "Don André".

Lange lived in Argentina from November 1927 to June 1929, when he went home with his father's casket, his father having died of a heart attack when visiting Lange at his office in Argentina.

1929

He joined the right-wing Fatherland League organisation upon his return to Norway in 1929, and he became a popular speaker at public rallies.

His provocative style however often led to controversies.

Although his agitation was chiefly directed against the political left, he also rejected the efforts of the far-right.

1938

He left the organisation in 1938 to join Landsforeningen Norges Sjøforsvar, where he agitated for strengthening the Norwegian armed forces and warned against the future world war.

He was initially blocked from entering the organised Norwegian resistance during the Second World War, but nonetheless did work to assist resistance members, and he was arrested by the Germans and imprisoned twice.

After the war, Lange initially focused on his work as a kennel-owner, as well as to write and publish his own dog-owner's paper.

Although he had pledged to not enter politics again, he became increasingly politically active.

He started touring the country to speak at his public rallies, and the paper he published became increasingly political.

He was a charismatic right-wing public speaker who first and foremost objected to high taxes, state-regulations and public bureaucracy.

1960

He gained a considerable following among youth in the 1960s, and their activities included to counter-demonstrate against left-wing demonstrations.

1973

Increasingly called upon by his supporters to establish a new political party, it was not until 1973 that he finally agreed to do so.

The new party, named Anders Lange's Party (ALP) was founded by popular acclamation during a public meeting at Saga kino.

He successfully entered the Norwegian Parliament after the election later the same year, but his new-found political career came to an abrupt end when he died the following year.

Lange's political party was reformed and renamed to the Progress Party after his death.
