Biography

Jørgen Peder Laurids Jørgensen (19 May 1888 – 15 December 1974), was a Danish politician, member of Folketinget for the Social Liberal Party 1929-1960. Farmer by profession. As Minister for Education Jørgensen passed major school reforms in 1937 and 1958 respectively. He was party leader for two decades, although Bertel Dahlgaard, political spokesperson, and later minister for Economy, was co-leader. Jørgensen's mind and living was strongly influenced by the ideas of N. F. S. Grundtvig.
Two of Jørgen Jørgensen's sons, Eigil and Erling, achieved leading positions in the Danish Central Administration. A third son, Svend, took over the farm and became a mayor of his regional council twice.
