Fredrik Georg Gade (4 June 1830 – 16 May 1905) was a Norwegian businessperson and politician for the

Liberal Party
.

He was born in

Hannover in the second half of the eighteenth century. In February 1854 he married Ingeborg Wallem (1830–1902), a sister of Fredrik Meltzer Wallem.[1]

Gade began working in his father's manufacture business F. G. Gade around the age of

Nesttun–Os Railway, and was an important shareholder.[1]

From 1880 to 1896 Gade was the

government minister position, but declined the offer. He wanted to back out of national politics, and only served as a deputy representative during the term 1886–1888.[1]

Gade also founded two insurance companies, Vesta in 1880 and Hygea in 1884 (often branded as the same company, "Vesta-Hygea"),[1][4] and was a board member of both companies until his death. He was also a board member of Den Nationale Scene.[1]

Gade was the father of Fredrik Georg Gade, Jr. and Herman Gerhard Gade, both notable physicians.[1] His daughter Emma married Anders Lorange.[5] Through his brother Gerhard he was an uncle of Fredrik Herman Gade[6] and John Allyne Gade, and through his wife he was an uncle of Fredrik Barbe Wallem.[7]
