Totally off topic but I need help :)

Is there anyone from Oslo who might know what is Egeberg?
The 'shadow of Egeberg' is mentioned in Lovecraft's Call of Cthulhu.

Maybe this guy:

if you are able to understand German, the German wiki-page has more to say about him. Considering he was busy on the poles, he might be the one Lovecraft refers to, since that fits his topic.

Thank you, but it doesn't fit in the story. Egeberg is either a building, or a king, or something...
Anyone from Oslo?

Ekeberg (Egeberg) is a hill in Oslo, which overlooks the harbour and main trainyard.

Thank you very much, that must be it!
