Christian Tuxen Falbe (5 April 1791– 19 July 1849) was a Danish naval officer, archaeologist, explorer, cartographer and diplomat.[1][2]
Biography
Falbe was born at Helsingør. He was the son of Ulrik Anton Falbe (1746-95), an inspector at Øresund Custom House and the father of the diplomat Christian Frederik Falbe (1828-1896).
In 1807, he became a second lieutenant. He was appointed lieutenant-lieutenant in 1815. By 1820, he became a lieutenant-captain.[2][3]
He was a consul to the Beylik of Tunis between 1821 and 1831. In 1833, he was relocated to Greece. Between 1837-38, he undertook a voyage in the Algerian provinces of Constantine and Tunis. In 1838, he participated in a scientific expedition to study the ruins of Carthage. He was the first to perform an archaeological survey on the site of Carthage and the first to produce a modern map of Tunis. In 1841, he resigned as a vessel commander-in-chief. From 1842, he was director of the king's collections at Amalienborg and, from 1847, director of the royal coin cabinet at Rosenborg Castle.[2][4][5]
In 1813, he received the Knights' Cross of the Order of the Dannebrog.
He died in 1849 and was buried at Holmen Cemetery (Holmens Kirkegård) in Copenhagen.[1]
