Biography
Hjalmar Lundbohm was born April 25, 1855, at Rubbestad's farm in Ödeborg's parish in Dalsland . He was the son of Crown Fellowsman August Ferdinand Lundbohm and the Granddaughter Augusta, born Hammarin, from the neighboring pig Färgelanda . Lundbohm graduated from the 1877 degree in engineering chemistry and road and water engineering at Chalmers University of Technology in Gothenburg . Lundbohm was employed as an extra non-regular geologist at the Geological Survey of Sweden in 1879. Became Assistant Geologist in 1885 as well as ordaining as the Ordinary Geologist in 1887-1902.
In 1889 he made his first trip to Lapland to participate as a state geologist in the Apatite Commission's work, to investigate the apathetic communities in northern Sweden and the geological conditions in Kiirunavaara and Luossavaara .
As the Swedish Parliament and the Norwegian parliament in 1898 decided to extend Malmbanan from Gällivare to Narvik , Lundbohm became an office manager at Luossavaara-Kiirunavaara Aktiebolag, located in Kiruna. [ 1 ] In February 1900 he was appointed LKAB's mining company in Luossajärvi, which was named Kiruna on April 27th.
Lundbohm later, in the context of his disaster service, also gained responsibility for the mining facilities in Malmberget , Grängesberg and Stråssa, as well as the port facilities in Luleå and Narvik, all included in Trafikaktiebolaget Grängesberg-Oxelösund . He also served as a board member and adviser in the competing Tuolluvaara Mining Company . He himself had discovered and mutated the ore in Tuolluvaara and this was partly to lay the foundation of his fortune. In addition, Lundbohm was included in several other corporate boards.
Lundbohm was often on the go, making the long voyage to the United States six times. He was good friend with the prince Gustaf Adolf and Eugen . His art interest made him close friend of the time's great artists like Anders Zorn , Carl Larsson , Bruno Liljefors and Albert Engström , as well as other cultural personalities like August Strindberg , Johan Turi and Emilie Demant-Hatt , and he built a significant art collection. His brother-in-law was by far the well-known artist Sixten Lundbohm .
His sympathy and art interest influenced how his home in Kiruna came to look and it resembles more artists' homes like Zorngården and Carl Larssongården than a typical dispute error. It is now open to the public.
In 1920, when Hjalmar Lundbohm turned 65, he left the work as a reseller in Kiruna and retired. On October 6th, he left Kiruna and, together with his good friends, Prince Eugen and Crown Prince Gustaf Adolf and Admiral Hugo Cederschiöld , he traveled around the countries around the Mediterranean , and returned to Sweden only a year later.
On April 2, 1926, Hjalmar Lundbohm suffered a stroke and became unconscious . He never woke up from this state, but died two days later, on Easter day , in his brother's home in Fritsla.
He was landed during a funeral act on April 10, 1926, in the Hedvig Eleonora church in Stockholm . After that, the coffin was transported to Kiruna where it arrived with a specially built railway carriage on April 12th. The tomb was held in a packed, flower- colored Kiruna church . He is now the only one who is buried next to the church.
Lundbohm became Philosophy of Honorary Doctorate in Uppsala in 1907 and member of the Engineering Academy of 1919. He was a member of several committees, for example, for longer technical education in 1907.
