Early life and career

Valdemar Ingemann was born in Copenhagen, the son of merchant and perfume manufacturer Søren Edvard Joachim Ingemann, a nephew of the author Bernhard Severin Ingemann, and Mariane Aurelia Laurentine née Lauritzen. He completed a mason's apprenticeship and was prior to that, in October 1856, admitted to the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts where he won the large silver medal (1863) before graduating in 1866.^[1]

Ingemann then worked as a draughtsman for H. C. Stilling and Johan Henrik Nebelong before setting up his own practice. He also taught at the Technical Society's School from 1877 to 1900.
