Anton Tschudi

Anton Tschudi (12 April 1848 – 1914) was a Norwegian landowner.

He was born in Tønsberg and was of Swiss descent. His father, Peter Tschudi (1812–1900) owned the Valløe farm in Sem Municipality, outside of the city of Tønsberg. His sister Clara was a well-known writer, and his brother Oscar was a judge.

Tschudi was mostly active with buying and selling land in Aker, now a part of Oslo. In 1898 he bought the 400-acre farm Øvre Høybråten, which was parceled out in 1905. Solemskogen near Maridalsvannet was bought in 1897 and parceled out in 1903, in addition he parceled out Økern as well. Tschudi was also active in Bærum. In 1912 he bought Vestre Haslum, which soon was split in 360 lots and sold. The area was nicknamed Tschudimarka. Solemskogen lacked communications and above all water drainage, posed a danger to water quality in Maridalsvannet and was therefore resented by the municipality. The parceling was halted by the authorities after 153 of 274 parcels had been sold, and the municipality later tried to buy out or expropriate several parcels. Thus, Solemskogen never became fully suburbanized. In Bærum, the municipality was concerned about the "squalor" of Tschudimarka.

Two roads were named after him, both in 1925, Anton Tschudis vei at Haslum and at Risløkka. Vera married Gerhard C. Kallevig. Anton Tschudi died in 1914.
