Lohrmann also held the position of Intendant of the National Board of Public Building, following the death in 1840 of his predecessor and compatriot Carl Ludvig Engel.[2][1] In that role, Lohrmann is credited with considerably developing and systematising the Board's operations, as well as seeing through to completion many of Engel's unfinished designs.[1]
