About Christian Ludvig Johannesen

Lived 1862 – 1935 (aged 72). Christian Ludvig Johannesen was a Danish politician, teacher, textbook writer, scout leader and sunday school teacher.

Christian Ludvig Johannesen (1862–1935) was a Faroese teacher and independence activist.

Johannesen was one of the nine men that signed the invitation to the Christmas Meeting of 1888, which is considered to have marked the beginning of the Faroese independence movement.
