Asvor Ottesen (born January 12, 1911 in Hamburg, died June 9, 2003) was a Norwegian saboteur, a resistance woman and a lawyer, after the war active in Norway's Communist Party. She participated in actions on August 19, 1941, when, together with the resistance man Aksel Engelsgaard, tried to blow up the restaurant "Löwenbräu" ("Humla") in Universitetsgata 26 in Oslo - at that time a German officer table, anyway, the bomb was discovered before it went off.[1] In 1948, she started her own law practice.[2]
