Wollert Konow

Wollert Konow (16 August 1845 - 15 March 1924[1]) was a Norwegian politician. He was Prime Minister of Norway from 1910 to 1912. Before this he had been Minister of the Interior 1891 - 1893, Minister of Agriculture 1898 - 1902, and Minister of Agriculture and Minister of Auditing 1902 - 1903.

He was born in Stend, Fana. His mother was Adam Gottlob Oehlenschläger's daughter, so Wollert Konow is Oehlenschläger's grandson.

"SB" is usually appended to Konow's name to differentiate him from his contemporary politician by the same name, Wollert Konow from Hedmark. SB stands for "Søndre Bergenhus," the now-defunct district this Konow represented in national politics.
