Ahlert Hysing (5 September 1793 – 9 November 1879) was a Norwegian educator and member of the Parliament of Norway.
Hysing was the son of Hans Augustinus Ahlertsen Hysing (1764-1843) and Maureen Elisabeth Nielsdatter Koren (1761-1808). His father served as parish priest of Holy Cross Church (Korskirken) in Bergen, Norway. Hysing worked as a schoolmaster at Bergen Cathedral School and later was appointed rector of the Laurvig Latin School (Laurvig middelskole) at Larvik in Vestfold, Norway.[1] [2]
Hysing was elected to the Norwegian Parliament in 1830, representing the constituency of Laurvik og Sandefjord in Vestfold. He sat through only one term. [3]
In 1825, Hysing married Caroline Mathilde Koren (1801-1840) who was the daughter of author Christiane Koren. They had eight children, including Else Elisabeth Koren (1832-1918) who married Lutheran minister U. V. Koren (1826-1910). Else immigrated with her husband on his mission to Luther College in Decorah, Iowa. [4] [5][6]
