{geni:about_me} "Theodor Wiese was born on the 2nd September 1841 in Bergen. He studied Commerce at Andersonske Handelsinstitut and when he was 17 years old he began his professional career in his home city. After moving to Memeland then to Bilbao (Spain) - where he worked at Gerardo Mowinchel & Co. , a firm which had probably commercial contacts with Bergen and where Wiese gained a vast experience in internationl trade - he came to Oporto (Portugal). Inthis country he devoted himself to the import of Norwegian fish, mainly codfish. Then he called his cousin Krohn and both founded their Port company. In 1875 he left Portugal and five years later he sold his share to Krohn. However, he went on working in Norway for his ex-company as a commercial agent, and due to this activity sales developped enormously. In 1887 he was appointed vice-consul of Brazil in Christiania. On the 2nd January 1896 he died in thesame city."
