Hansigne Caroline Marie Lorenzen (1870–1952)[1] was a Danish writer who is remembered for her interest in Danish culture in the part of Southern Jutland which was taken by the Germans in 1864. In 1905, using the pen name Sven Tange, she published her first book Det kæmper et Folk (A People Do Battle) calling for her community to fight against German rule. After publishing two more novels, reverting to her own name she turned to poetry with Arveguld (1919) about the Golden Horns, followed by two collections of verse. Lorenzen is also remembered for tracing the history of lacemaking in her region, publishing old patterns from Tønder and later establishing Det Tønderske Kniplingsdepot (The Tønder Lace Depository).[2][3][4]
