Kadettangen
Kadettangen is a small peninsula outside of Sandvika in Bærum, Norway. Originally named Sandvikstangen, it got its current name from the cadet training conducted by the Norwegian Military Academy for the better part of the nineteenth century. The peninsula is now used mainly for boating, beach life and sports, being the home ground of association football club Bærum SK.
Geography
The peninsula is located slightly south of the town of Sandvika, at the outlet of the river Sandvikselva, at the opposite shore of Kjørbo.[1] To the south lies the island of Kalvøya, to which Kadettangen is connected to with a suspension bridge.[2] The southern end of Kadettangen is now used for leisure purposes, with its beach and beach volleyball facilities.[3] Because of its low altitude and consequent problems with flooding, the peninsula was reinforced with fill dirt.[4] The practice of filling around Kadettangen continues to this day, with proposals to increase the land area with leftover material from the excavation of the Løkkeås Tunnel as a part of Norwegian National Road 164.[5][6]
History
It was formerly a crop field under Kjørbo Manor,
The inner parts of the peninsula were sold by Kjørbo Manor's owner, Erich Waller, to Christiania og Omegns Dampskibsselskab in 1857. The steamship company went under five years later and the docks they had established at Kadettangen were auction beck to Waller for 40 speciedaler.[8] The inner parts of the peninsula continued to be used as a harbor, and was eventually owned by Anthon Walle. The municipality bought this section from his estate in 1912, following his death. The area received permission to operate as a port in 1916. The municipality hired a harbor-master to run the facility.[9] The steamship company's office and expedition building from 1858 was converted to a harbor master's office.[10] The municipality established a volunteer fire corps in 1876, which was stationed in a dockside building at Kadettangen.[11]
Because of the food shortage caused by the
The bridge across to Kalvøya opened in 1963. Prior to this, the military had occasionally built pontoon bridges across the island.[2] Tyrving installed a workman's shed as club house in 1963, followed by a second shed in 1970.[19] The locker rooms were upgraded in 1967,[20] followed up with an upgrade of the running track the following year, for the first time giving it a circumference of 400 meters (1,300 ft).[21] Bærum SK completed Bærumshallen 1970,[22] followed by their club house in 1984.[13]
