Amtmand Hilbert – Terrassan

During Hilbert’s time in office, the historic businesses Tubbak and Kjøt were located at this very address on Áarvegur. The name reflects the site’s historical connection to that period.

Hilbert played a significant role in Faroese history, particularly during the Second World War, and remains a well-known historical figure.

His tenure was influential, although his leadership has also been the subject of differing opinions and debate.

Today, the name Amtmand Hilbert serves as a reminder of the rich history associated with this location.

Hilbert & Capone

Hilbert and Al Capone were two influential figures of the same era, but they represented very different kinds of power.

As County Governor of the Faroe Islands from 1936 to 1948, Carl Aage Hilbert governed through law and public authority, helping guide the islands through the challenges of the Second World War.

At the same time, Al Capone built one of America’s most infamous criminal empires in Chicago, ruling through fear, influence, and organized crime.

One governed by law. The other by crime. Together, they remind us of a remarkable period in history shaped by powerful personalities and extraordinary events.
