About Hans Grendahl (1877 – 1962)

Born in Rennebu. Son of farmer Ole Knudsen Grendahl and Ane Hansdatter, born Aas. He graduated in architecture with architect Solberg, Trondheim, in 1902, after which he went to Germany and studied architecture at the university in Karlsruhe. After completing his education, Grendahl was employed, among others in the company Jacob Digre in Ålesund, later he became an assistant teacher in building subjects, construction and freehand drawing at Trondhjem’s technical training institute. In 1916 he was employed as a teacher at NTH. In the 1920s and 30s took a number of photographs in color (Autochromes), i.a. interiors and exteriors of churches in Trøndelag, Gudbrandsdalen, Østerdalen, Møre and Romsdal and Telemark, as well as pictures from the Trøndelag exhibition in 1930 and the Drammen exhibition in the same year. The oldest color photo taken in his collection is from 1922. Grendahl left a unique archive of stereo images, about half of which are in colour, to his daughter Adelheide (Ada) Grue, in Stjørdal. The picture collection was bought by the Preus Fotomuseum in 1989 and digitalized in December 2021. It consists of 1017 photographs on glass plates in the format 90×140 mm. With a few exceptions, the images are stereo images.
