Carl Schulz

He was born in Trondheim as a son of attorney Laurentius Andreas Schulz and Christiane Wilhelmine Ulich. His grandfather was a German immigrant. He was a brother of educator Thomas Norberg Schulz, and thus a granduncle of architect Christian Norberg-Schulz and great-granduncle of opera singer Elizabeth Norberg-Schulz. In July 1889 in Trondhjem he married shipmaster's daughter Gudrun Boye (1866–1953). He died in August 1944 in Trondhjem, aged 92. ==Career==

He finished his secondary education at Trondhjem Cathedral School in 1871, studied philology for one and a half-year and then the sciences. He graduated with the cand.real. degree in 1877, and worked in Ås and Tromsø until May 1878. He was then hired as a teacher at Trondhjem Cathedral School. He also worked at a middle school in the city. In September 1893 he was hired as a teacher of physics, applied physics, electrotechnics and mineralogy at Trondhjem Technical School. He worked two jobs until being let go (following his own request) from Trondhjem Cathedral School in June 1894. Electrotechnics in particular was a new field, so he had to be an autodidact, with several study trips to continental Europe. He wrote the textbook Grundtræk af elektrotekniken in 1909. Trondhjem Technical School went through organizational changes in the 1910s, and Schulz was the school's director from July 1917 to his retirement in 1926. He was an honorary member (1937) of the local Polytechnic Society, and was awarded the King's Medal of Merit in 1925. ==References==
