Notes:

One night more than 200 years ago a wealthy businessman ("koebmann"), Henrik Petersen came sailing towards the Norwegian coast with his own ship. He had, on board, very valuable cargo from Lubeck (Germany). A storm forced the ship up against Jaerens Reef (Rogoland's Cape Horn). The ship, with its cargo, broke up in the rough seas. The only person on board to survive was Henrik Petersen. While he was floating around in the rough seas , fighting death, he promised God - that if he survived , he would spend the rest of his fortune on a lighthouse at the place where his ship had foundered. He did survive and kept his promise. He bought the land on "Kvitsoey" (an island just outside the entrance to Stavanger) where he built a lighthouse. He paid for its operation for many years thereafter. In gratitude, for doing so, the king at the time Christian VI, enobled him and gave him the name "von Fyren"

In 1696 he took his citizenship of Bergen as a "seilingsman" (noble sort of sailor) from Holstein and settled down in Stavanger. He became the postmaster of the place and owner of Kvitsoey vippefyr and the lighthouse at Hoeyvarde in Karmoey. In 1822 by a Kings resolution (proclamation?) it was decided that the lighthouse at Kvitsoey was to be under bought and put under the control of the Norwegian Lighthouse establishment at a cost of 822 riksdaler, to be given to the oldest in every family. Later this was converted to n. Kroner 1200/year. There was another condition to the sale, 'all sons in the family were given the name "von Fyren".

Henrik Petersen of Ystad had three sons. The first two did not live long, however, the youngest Morten Henrik Petersen von Fyren carried the family name onward.


Morten Henrik Petersen von Fyren became a businessman, as his father, and also was a document administrator in Stavanger. His sons became curates at Stavanger Domkirke.
