Robert Fredrik von Kræmer, born on the 20th August 1791 in Gammelgård in the municipality of Lampis, Tavastehus County, Finland, died on the 25th. May 1880 in Uppsala, was a Swedish baron and governor.

Biography: Robert von Kræmer was born as the son of Army Navy Colonel Carl Gustaf von Kræmer and Christina Lovisa, née Stiernvall. He was born on the 25th. November 1799 Sergeant in the Sveaborgseskader of the army fleet, on November 29th September 1806 he was a cadet in Karlberg and completed his studies on the 11th. April 1808. On the 21st In April 1808 Kræmer was appointed ensign in the 2nd. He was appointed Life Grenadier Regiment and joined the Second Life Guards in 1810, which he accompanied as a battalion adjutant in the 1813/14 campaign in Germany, Denmark and Norway. In 1826 he became a major in the general staff and chief of staff of the 4th. Infantry Division and was appointed governor of Uppsala County in 1830.

Among the numerous special measures that benefited the county or parts of it during his long term in office, to a significant extent or entirely at his initiative, were the dredging of the lower reaches of the rivers Fyris, Enköping and Örsund and the establishment of a company for a steamboat connection with Stockholm for Uppsala, Enköping and Örsundsbro, the removal of all major and some minor gradients on the public roads, around 40 lake subsidences and the cleaning of waterways, as well as the replacement of the district fire brigade units by a similar company for the entire district (1844).

On Kræmer's initiative, in 1840 the royal proposals, important for the whole country, were presented to the estates of the kingdom for the establishment of an agricultural institute in Ultuna, in 1844 for the establishment of Dutch tribal areas in various parts of the kingdom and in 1856, among others, a geological survey of the foster land. Several of the above-mentioned non-profit enterprises required public subsidies, for which Kræmer had to vigorously use all his influence with the government and the Reichstag. He was appointed as a member of committees several times by the knighthood and the nobility, for example in the state committee in 1844 and 1847 and the special committee for spirits legislation in 1853. Due to Kræmer's application to the Agricultural Academy, general agricultural meetings in the kingdom were added.

Kræmer, who declined the office of governor in Stockholm in 1844 and who declined the offer to become civil minister in 1847, resigned from the office of governor in 1862 and in 1861 left the chairmanship of the board of the Ultuna Agricultural Institute, which he had held since the beginning of the institute's activities (1848 ) instead of. In 1866 he had the “My Life Memoirs,” drawn in 1866, printed and distributed among friends. In 1837 he became a baronet. The district showed its gratitude to him, among other things, by the fact that in 1863, especially in view of its strong measures to alleviate hardship in the years of stunted growth in 1844–45, the home economics association decided to found “Landshövding” of Kræmer's support fund for stunted Injured in Uppsala County”. Kræmer was a member of the Academy of Military Sciences (1828) and an honorary member of the Academy of Agriculture (1844).

Robert von Kræmer is buried in Uppsala Old Cemetery.
