Ministry of Postal Affairs (Norway)
The Norwegian Ministry of Postal Affairs (Norwegian: Postdepartementet) was a Norwegian ministry that existed from 1860 to 1861. It was responsible for postal affairs.
It was established on 18 August 1860 as a successor of the
Ministry of the Interior as a government agency in 1857. It ceased to exist already on 1 October 1861, when it was merged with the Ministry of the Navy to form the Norwegian Ministry of the Navy and Postal Affairs.[1]
The heads of the Ministry of Postal Affairs were
Erik Røring Møinichen (1860-1861), Christian Ludvig Diriks (temporary, 1861) and Erik Røring Møinichen again (1861).[2]
A short-lived Ministry of Postal Affairs existed for some months in 1885. It was headed by Birger Kildal.[3]
