Asvor Ottesen

Asvor Ottesen (January 12, 1911 Hamburg, -June 9, 2003) was a Norwegian saboteur, a resistance woman and a lawyer, after the war active in Norway's Communist Party.

On August 19, 1941, Ottesen and Aksel Engelsgaard tried to blow up the restaurant "Löwenbräu" ("Humla") in Universitetsgata 26 in Oslo which was then frequented by German officers. The IED was discovered before it went off.[1]

In 1948, Ottesen started her own law practice.[2]
