Christian Braunmann Tullin

Christian Braunmann Tullin was a Norwegian businessman and poet, born in Christiania. He was city manager for Christiania from 1763, and was also Chairman for the Board of Customs and Excise. He was regarded as one of Denmark-Norway's most important poetic talents by his contemporaries.

He studied theology and philosophy but soon after he completed his studies in 1748, he abandoned the calling he studied for. Instead he decided for business career, and soon he took over a factory for nails, starch and powder at Lysaker. As a poet he gained fame in 1758 with a poem En Maji-Dag (A May Day). His Samtlige Skrifter (Complete Writings) were issued in Copenhagen in 1770–1773 (three volumes). The first volume contained his poetry, while the two others contained essays.
