Arnt Uchermann Astrup was loved by his patients in Lillehammer.

He was first doctor in Ringebu before moving to Lillehammer where he maried Edle Due.

They lived in what today is called Astrupgården on the corner of the South Park.

He was represented in a lot of political commities in Lillehammer.

He was a very good friend of Anders Sandvig, the founder of Maihaugen Museum. I (Gerhard) was sitting inn his lap the same year he died, 1934) he had lost both his legs.

Together with my mother in Astrupården, we found his old telephone from 1899, it had a label on which it was written;"Doktor Arnt Astrup. Kontortid; 10-14, egen hest. He was also the doctor for the soldiers at the camp Jørstadmoen.
