• Notes

  Christopher was born in Luster parish, Sogn og Fjordane on Nov. 1, 1685. He was a career military officer. In 1703 a Petty Officer, 1705 Corporal at Bergenhus Infantry Regiment, 1709 Ensign and 2nd Lieutenant same year, 1710 1st Lieutenant, 1716 Lieutenant Captain and same year Captain, 1718 Head of Company of 2nd Bergenhus Infantry Regiment, took part in the war, 1719 Major with 2nd Bergenhus Infantry Regiment., 1735 Lieutenant Colonel, 1747 colonel and 1750 Commanding Officer of the 2nd Vesterlehn Infantry Regiment. Died 1752 at Haagenvik, buried February 9, same year. He owned two homesteads , one called Elfarvik on Yrkefjord in Tysvær and the other a part of Haagenvik that earlier belonged to a Lauritz Knudsen. He chose Haagenvik as his permanent residence and purchased the remainder from a Taaren Valtinson of Oubo. Taaren had come into possession of it by marrying an Ingbord Jensdatter. Christopher also owned Birkeland and a large estate called "Melkeræn" in Midthordland, which he traded in on the deal for Haagenvik. He married his 1st cousin, Marie de Fine on April 2, 1721 in Fana Church. Haagenvik eventually passed on to the Magnus name, by marriage. Hogganvik i gamal og ny tid Av Jens Børretzen Etter ei gamal segn vart den gamle kyrkja i Vikedal bygd i andre halvdelen av 1600 talet. Ho vart riven i 1880- åra. Det skal vera ekteparet Gudmund Knudsen og Helga Ormsdotter i Hogganvik som stod for kyrkjebyginga. På eine alterstaken står innrita namna deira. På ei kyrkjeklokke som no er borte, skal namna deira og ha stått. Denne klokka vart bytt bort mot ei større. Det var nok Helga som førde ordet og styrde både stakk og brok i Hogganvik den gongen. Det er fortalt at då tømmermennene heldt på med kyrkjearbeidet, kom dei til Helga og ville ha jarnboltar til å ha i dei lange opplengene, for å vera visse på at det vart sterkt nok. Då svara Helga: Gå bort i Eikenberg og hogg eik til naglar. Eg skal våga dei held! Eikenberg er ein lut av heimebøen i Hogganvik. Seinare vart Hogganvik lensmannsgard. Om lag 1720 kjøpte oberst Christoffer von Krogh fiskeplassen Yrkje i Skjold. Det var han som gjekk under namnet «Gamle Kroken». Yrkjesvågen kjøpte han av danskekongen. Kroken ville gjeme få seg ein uneleg heeim, og kjøpte den eine parten av Hogganvik av Tårn Valentinsen Aubø. Han hadde fått denne gardparten med kona si, Ingeborg Jensdotter. Resten av Hogganvik bytte han til seg av ein som heitte Jakob Lund. Det var garden Melkeråen i Midt- Hordaland som Kroken gav i byte. Det ordet gjekk at gamle Kroken hadde svært godt vit på pengar, og fekk dei til å auka. Di­for var det ikkje til å undrast over at han var om seg da kong Fredrik den £jerde, med stø­nad av biskop Deichman, tok til a selja kyr­kjene i Norge. Kroken kjøpte kyrkjene i Vikedal prestegjeld og andre, mellom dei den namngjetne kyrkja i Røldal, med alle gull- og sølvskattane sine. Det seiest at Kroken førde to hestekløv med sølv og andre kostesame ting derifra. Men han vart sjølv lurt også. Skattefuten Hun i Ryfylke var komen i kassemangel, og Kroken som hadde gått god for han, laut ut med 1500 riksdalar. Det tok han så hardt at han fekk helsott (dødssjukdom) av det. Han døydde i januar 1752. Ja, så fortel segna. To stader i Hogganvik ber namnet «Major» etter Kroken. Det eine er Majorspranget. Han kom ridande vegen som låg like ved tunet og hesten vart skræmd av ein fugl og for i juvet. Majoren vart hangande i eit tre heilt uskadd. Hesten vart så skadd at han laut avlivast. Den andre staden er Majorhaugen. Der sat han og såg etter arbeidsfolka sine. Fra denne haugen er det fritt utsyn over heile Hogganvik. General Søren de Fine von Krogh var son av Kroken og kom til å bu i Hogganvik all sin dag. Han døydde i 1795. Eldste son til gene­ralen - kaptein Fredrich Stockfeldt von Krogh , fødd 1762, død 1836, var den siste von Krogh som budde i Hogganvik. Han hadde ingen søner. Han var namngjeten som fiskar og skyttar. Han låg heile sumrane i Yrkje på fiske. Siste sumaren han levde, rodde han ut dei tunge nøtene heilt aleine. Da var han 74 år. Fredrich hadde 7 døtrer. Den eldste av dei, Anne Marie Katrine, vart gift med Johannes Magnus og dei tok over i Hogganvik. Johannes var fødd i 1795, og døydde i 1881. Han var presteson fra Skjold. Medan faren studerte i København vart han gift med Adriane Johanne Cruys. Hogganvik in old and new times By Jens Børretzen According to an old legend, the old church in Vikedal was built in the second half of the 17th century. She was demolished in the 1880s. It will be the married couple Gudmund Knudsen and Helga Ormsdotter in Hogganvik who were responsible for the church building. Their names are inscribed on one of the altarpieces. On a church bell that is now gone, their names should have stood. This clock was exchanged for a larger one. It was probably Helga who led the way and ruled both the stall and the stall in Hogganvik that time. It is said that when the carpenters continued with the church work, they came to Helga and wanted iron bolts to put in the long spans, to be sure that it was strong enough. Then Helga replied: Go to Eikenberg and chop oak for nails. I will dare them luck! Eikenberg is a lute from the home village in Hogganvik. Later, Hogganvik became sheriff's ward. Around 1720, Colonel Christoffer von Krogh bought the fishing place Yrkje in Skjold. It was he who went by the name "Gamle Kroken". He bought Yrkjesvågen from the Danish king. Kroken wanted to hide and get an unpleasant home, and bought one part of Hogganvik from Tårn Valentinsen Aubø. He had received this part of the farm with his wife, Ingeborg Jensdotter. He traded the rest of Hogganvik to himself from someone called Jakob Lund. It was the farm Melkeråen in Midt-Hordaland that Kroken gave in exchange. The word spread that old Kroken had a very good sense of money, and made it increase. Therefore it was not to be wondered at that he was concerned when King Fredrik the Fourth, with the support of Bishop Deichman, began to sell the churches in Norway. Kroken bought the churches in Vikedal parish and others, among them the eponymous church in Røldal, with all their gold and silver treasures. It is said that Kroken brought two horses' hooves with silver and other expensive things from them. But he himself was also deceived. The tax collector Hun in Ryfylke had run out of cash, and Kroken, who had vouched for him, let out 1,500 riksdalar. He took it so hard that he got sick from it. He died in January 1752. Yes, tell the story. Two places in Hogganvik are named "Major" after Kroken. One is the Major jump. He came riding along the road which lay close to the yard and the horse was spooked by a bird and went into the gorge. The major was hanging from a tree completely unharmed. The horse was so injured that he had to be put down. The other town is Majorhaugen. There he sat and looked for his workers. From this mound there is an unobstructed view over the whole of Hogganvik. General Søren de Fine von Krogh was the son of Kroken and came to live in Hogganvik all his days. He died in 1795. Eldest son of the general - captain Fredrich Stockfeldt von Krogh, born 1762, died 1836, was the last von Krogh who lived in Hogganvik. He had no sons. He was a renowned fisherman and shooter. He spent the whole summer in Yrkje fishing. The last summer he lived, he dug out the heavy nuts all by himself. He was then 74 years old. Fredrich had 7 daughters. The eldest of them, Anne Marie Katrine, was married to Johannes Magnus and they took over in Hogganvik. Johannes was born in 1795, and died in 1881. He was the son of a priest from Skjold. While his father was studying in Copenhagen, he was married to Adriane Johanne Cruys, great-granddaughter of Cornelius Cruys 1655-1727. Translated from Stavanger Aftenblad 20–09–1902 by Katarina Barth Magnus 10–02–2016 Haagenvik. - The history of a Western gentleman's seat. - Colonel Christopher von Krogh. - It's something like this, a dark adventure, a half-sung show that ties in with the lovely little place in there, sunk between the mountains and the forest - big coniferous forest - on all sides. The green stripe that so easily gets to the sea with a small piece of beach is half covered with deciduous forests, old and heavy trees, aspen and oak. Up from the beach stretches an all that does not own its right in the west. Its strains are short but so thick that one can only half embrace them. Up at everyone's exit stands the old, old house, smiling white and dignified with small windows behind the two large roof trees of the garden. Had the two been able to speak, they would have told of many strange things that have come up through the avenue, and of the many merry stories in the living rooms. They are no longer the ones who lived and built there. But the long sabers, with the badge's badge, and portraits - oil paintings - of the badger's elders have been hanging on the walls just a couple of years ago. There are stories that it was just joking around in the living rooms at that time. My teacher, who was a true grubber and Christian-minded man, told me a few years ago, while he looked me deeply and earnestly in his eyes, that he had been there one night, but could not make peace. The doors opened. He went into the best room. There was unnatural desire, the sabers clattered on the wall, and the old bellic (sic) moved. There were quiet exteriors, which are almost always in the valley depth between the mountains and the forest. Now everything that belonged to the genus has moved into a new house, built by Jørg Magnus, who on the mother's side descended from the Krogh family. * In the year 1724, a man in red uniform, with rifle and hunting dog, landed in Haagenvik. He immediately bought the whole place and sat down. He had no slander or friends in the West, and people, as expected, had to be a little astonished at this strange man, who, as he is told, had so many strange habits and manners. He is portrayed as a hard and inaccessible, uncommonly stingy man who did not have peace at night or day. It was Colonel Christopher von Krogh. About him, the story tells that he was born in 1685. Early on he made his mark on a daring act at dangerous apartments and as early as holding several senior military offices. During the war against Karl XII, on the Danish side, he gathered volunteers around him and made one bold incident in Sweden after another. "Seiren was looking for him," it is called, and he became a true nuisance to the Swedish border people. Once, however, his bewilderment went too far; he penetrated far into Sweden and was cut off by a Swedish branch retreat. There was a bloody battle that ended with the Swedes, many times superior in strength, capturing the colonel and his volunteers. The Colonel was sentenced to death, and Karl XII himself proclaimed the sentence for him - yet he wanted to see this man before he died. But the colonel did not move: he stroked his neck along the rails and gave the king an answer which made him so astonished that the honor he did not "dare" let the colonel shoot, but cried in rage: "Then he went to Norway. with you, your bloodhound! ". So Krogh got back across the border and tired of the hardships that he was, he sought a quiet place in the west and drove Haagenvik. As a half-peace he roamed in every nook, partly because of his greed, and partly because of his restless temper. He bought hunting farms, salmon fishing and churches and had his fingers on everything that could bring him pleasure or gain, all around Ryfylke. He received the largest revenue from salmon fishing in Profession and from Røldal's church. At that time, there were numerous silver items that he transported to Haagenvik, after which he returned the church to the congregation. Ludvig Daae writes about "The Crook" and Røldal's Church in the following in his "Norwegian Countryside", (and what he writes about it is not a story, but truth that can be verified through documents that still exist): "The great reputation of the Church brought holiness When the Røldal Church, like Norway's other churches, was sold by Frederick IV, it came to bring its buyer a more abundant income than many of the main churches in fertile settlements. Krogh on Haagenvik, a man who by the name of "Old Hook" was a well-known size in the area, and whose family owned the farm Haagenvik in 1835. He participated in the war against Karl XII and formed a free company of his own bold and courageous. guy with whom he made a stroll across the Swedish border. It is told of him that he was many times close to being captured by the Swede and eventually really surrounded and after a large the fall of man among his people has to surrender. Charles XII first thought of letting him shoot, but was so consumed by his bold and fearless responses that he spared his life. He then turned up his residence in Haagenvik and bought most of the churches in Ryfylke. For Røldal's church he must have given only 101 dollars. But when he took possession of it, he removed "two stiff claws" of silver from it. The silverware he got from Røldal, he understood in a peculiar way of recovering, for when he also owned other churches, he sold from these the precious chalices, discs, etc., and used the smallest and smallest of those collected from Røldal in their place. Therefore, there are still sacred vessels all around Ryfylke, whose inscriptions indicate that in their time they were donated to Røldalskirken. After the "Old Hook" had thus recovered the silver from the churches, he should have no more concern for them, but left them to his former owners. "* The Old Hook was a name he carried with dignity. The old skinny colonel went there och pillede spiger och crumul, and lived miserably with all his money. But the parish had respect for him, and when the colonel, about whom the incredible war stories were told, arrived in church in his uniform on Sunday, no one whispered "Old Hook." They took to the hat and gave plenty of space. On Skigelstrand - a farm in the same parish - lived the Danish treasurer, Honth his name. As it approached seventeen hundred and fifty years, the treasurer became the fad. He probably did not have his papers in order and could not give a proper account. By looking through the tax books, it was found that Colonel von Krogh had not paid his butter, and it all ended up that the colonel had to pay the entire bailiff's underbalance - about 1500 dollars. The very stingy man was so heartbroken that he - clinging to the money he had lost - fell ill and died on January 18, 1752, shortly after he was appointed commander of the Second Western Inf. regiment. The "Old Hook" had a brother who also moved here to the country. He advanced more sincerely and achieved better results. It was General Georg Frederich von Krogh, who was appointed White Knight and was officiated at the Cathedral of Trondheim on May 18, 1768. Both were sons of Colonel Georg Frederich von Krogh, who volunteered in the Emperor of Germany's service under the prince of Palatinate. The "hook" begets sons and daughters at Haagenvik. They were given a very tough and hard upbringing. The oldest of them was Major General Søren de Fine von Krogh. He died at Haagenvik on February 11, 1795. He has planted most of the trees in the avenue and built the garden. During his lifetime, Haagenvik was right in its glory and prosperity. A daughter of "Krokjen" married a German captain - von Saldern he was named. He also lived in Haagenvik, but did nothing but drink. He stayed in a chamber in the main building, which today is called the "Salderkammerset". There he lay beside his anchor all day. Among the many stories about him in there are told that when he got really drunk - when it came out in the afternoon - and he couldn't get the plug in the anchor again, he lay on the floor and waved it and cried "pay attention ", so it sounded over half Haagenvik. At other times, he could crawl under the bed instead of on it, and then he could not come forward again by his mobility, and had to lie there and scream until people came and pulled him forward. Another of the "Crook's" sons inherited the father's mind. It was Colonel Bernhard Wilhelm von Krogh. He bought himself a farm on Sandeid, but was unhappy at home. If he wasn't at war then he was with his gun in the fields and woods. In reports from that time he is portrayed as an exceptionally brave warrior. He was a precocious, three cubits and four inches tall man who had trained his body to a tremendous resilience. One Sunday, going to church at Sandeid and being in good spirits, he did not want to cross the bridge, which led over an 80-foot-wide river, but took a pole, jumped, set it in the middle of the river, and tilted over. Once he was in Copenhagen on a ball, where the royal family was also present. There he fell in love with one of the princesses, and he ended up kissing her. However, this was noticed and reported to the king. Of course, it was a defamation against the court, which had death in those days. Then this von Krogh was sentenced to fight against the king's champion. This was all considered something as safe as execution, as the fighter was only given a signal when it was due. But as soon as the fighting master straightened his weapon, the captain of the Colonel threw himself high over his head and got his saber drilled down between his shoulders. The legend wants to know that von Krogh had been in contact with a friendly part of the court, which had ensured that he received a signal at the same time as the fighting master. However, he was shown outside Denmark's borders. Now the sun had set over the descendants of "Old Krokjen" in Haagenvik. The site was no longer in their possession than to his grandson, Captain Frederich Stokflet von Krogh, born 1762, died 1836. One of his daughters married a shipbuilder Johannes Magnus, who in Haagenvik built a well-known shipbuilding, among other things. many of this city's proudest shooters are writing. His grandson - composer Georg Washingthon Magnus - lived on the farm until a short time ago when he sold and moved to Copenhagen. It is now owned by watchmaker Bendix Hansen, Stavanger. However, another life had prevailed in the living rooms. The shipyard people were pouring in. What kind of thing was these strange people scraping together? "Pst with ax and knife, then we'll get it off the old junk!" And then the delicious hunting parties were first thrown on the walls of the main room. Some fragments of them are left on the "Salderkammerset" and testify in all its dust and age to what the "storeroom" was in the good times. - - Now it's all just a story. The foreign people are carried from Haagenvik and into Vikedal's old cemetery. There they each have their modest resting place that no one knows. A couple of crosses are thrown in the graveyard - no one knows where to stand. That it must not prevent the time that strong and steady in its shift erases all things - sooner or later, according to merit. But Haagenvik lies there and smiles the passing encounter with its old dignity, with its avenue, with its evergreen roofs in front of the smiling white, old building with its many small windows. - I stood not long ago on a late night at the top of the avenue. There was quiet upstairs in the living rooms and dark. There are no sabers and rifles left. The hard green tree sits, like a chop, hiding in its lap an almost two hundred year old garden hut. Down the avenue, the moon shines on mud and grass. The old twigged cubes stand in rows, just like with their fist in their pockets, defying loneliness. But from the forest holders a soft whisper of the night wind is heard, and sometimes down in the valley, as a freeze through the leaves of the high oak trees. By the way everything quiet. - Everything was like sighing: they planted us and put us in so many years that they should all go from here! Translated from Stavanger Aftenblad October 4, 1902 by Katarina Barth Magnus February 12, 2016 Haagenvik - Mr. B.K.! The stories you keep up with in your article "A Western Country Seat and Its History" seem to me ill-chosen when they will provide a historical overview of Haagenvik, to which I have personally been associated for over 25 years. The brand new information from their school teacher, whom I personally knew, is so childish that they really deserve no objection. The fact is, however, that those who were born and raised in Haagenvik have never, ever, ever known or heard that there was a joke. Several of the Krogh slaves who lived in the Ryfylke fjords lived, according to people's statements, a fairly free life, drank a great deal and stood above the then rural population of the world. They regarded the peasants more as the living ones who would always serve their military whims. In the past, everywhere, where the backlessness existed, there was a public outcry that they were so dreadful, joking about this or that, even after priests in their study chambers. By the way, the joke consisted in the fact that a couple of boys had the pleasure of scaring their teacher one evening. The ghosts must have had the same age truth as the story I heard 20 years ago by the old honorable Haugian, R. T. who was born in Vats and died here in town a few years ago, 100 years old. The story thus read; One of the Kroghs lived on the "S" - a fucking big man. The peasants from miles away scared him and shot him as evil; for in order to get money, he had sold body and soul to the "Hinma." Once he came to Vats. Dad salted sprat, and there were 10 - 12 barrels on the pier. K landed from the shooting boat and the barrels stood in his way; but K. jumped - clothed with a mouth-watch and saber - into one barrel and thence to the other, continuing in all barrels, cursing so as to shore; for it was the "Hinma," who, like him, lifted him, so that he swayed from one barrel to the other. "That the story is as big a joke as the ghosts mentioned, I feel assured. The other tales of this man in red uniform and rifle and hunting dog as well as all the brave war stories, I have often heard as a nightmare in there, with the now 80-year-old MM, who directly descended from the Krogh family, has always refuted these kitchen countertops as some of the things mentioned in the story, The genus has wanted to glorify its ancestors with characteristics and events, just as to impress the then-guilty peasants, and when I think of FM's fishing, hunting and roe stories, they were in the same style. , that the military branch of the Kroghian family, like Fasting on the Foldøen and Welßten on Knudsvig, bought its farms from the Danish government in order to live near the places of exertion Sa ndeid – Hjelmeland and other military training sites in Ryfylke. According to the old documents, most of the land is owned by the Danish government. As far as I know, the many countryside stories about bravery are lacking in any historical basis. If a K. has skipped the Vikedalselven or Sandeidelven by pole vault, then this also has not been of greater importance than that the riverbank allowed the same for every other cracked vessel. I'm not going to talk about the salt, a drinker who no longer deserves to be remembered more than any other such man. But when you want to write about Haagenvik, one should not forget the oldest daughter of Captain Fredrik Krogh, Anna Marie Kathrine. The last military in Haagenvik was the said captain, whom no sons left behind. The daughters were married to the families Beyer, Kjelland, Montclair in Bergen, and Barth and Magnus, who were tried in Skjold. Never have I ever heard a woman, either in town or country, who spoke a more beautiful language than the old grandmother. Though modest, she told of her childhood home and her ancestors; I never heard anything about the brave bravery that was just coming to the public. The n old ones were musical and sang beautifully. This lady married a sailor d a Johannes Magnus, son of the test stone in Skjold. They lived a long and happy life together and with her Haagenvik came over in the Magnus family. Sir. B. K. tells that Johannes Magnus was a builder and has built several large ships. This too is incorrect. Johannes Magnus, who is called the proprietor, had five sons, Fredrik, Morthen, Anthon, Georg and Fritz as well as the daughters Mary, Anna and Hanna, all married. Fredrik got the main farm Haagenvik, which is shared with the brother Morthen, who got the Violence. Morthen lives and is eighty years old. Together with old Dreyer prints, he continued his teaching as a typographer at Kielland on the mountains. Partly by the priest Løberg in Vikedal, but especially by Lieutenant Puntervold in Egersund he learned the shipbuilding. It was he who had delivered the sling "Stavanger", belonging to D. G. Normann. As Magnus had been building ships for several years, Brother Fredrik's desire to run the same business was also aroused. Morthen Magnus was the first engineer for the brother. Both expanded the business into one of the largest of its kind in our country. They lost their fortunes in the fall of Köhler & Aas and other major bankruptcies - in that way they had to share fate with most shipbuilders in Norway. Of the old men in the man's seat, Morthen Magnus lives, to which I may return later; 10 It is by his great company and by him alone that the farm Haagenvik, especially in the 60s and 70s, came to prominence in the west country by the many ships that departed from it.
