Early life and career

Valdemar Ingemann was born in Copenhagen, the son of merchant and perfume manufacturer Søren Edvard Joachim Ingemann, nephew of the author Bernhard Severin Ingemann, and Mariane Aurelia Laurentine née Lauritzen. He completed a mason's apprenticeship and was prior to that, in October 1856, admitted to the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts where he won the large silver medal (1863) before graduating in 1866.^[1]

Career

Ingemann worked as a draughtsman for Harald Conrad Stilling and Johan Henrik Nebelong before setting up his own practice. He taught at the Technical Society's School from 1877 to 1900, where one of his students was Vilhelm Fischer, himself later an accomplished architect at the turn of the century. Ingemann also served on the Copenhagen City Council from 1894 to 1900.^[2]
