Lars Hans Jens Josva Chemnitz (26 October 1925 – November 18, 2006) was a Greenlandic politician who served as chairman of the Landsråd from 1971 to 1979 and later as the first speaker of the Inatsisartut from 1989 to 1991.

Early life

Chemnitz was born on 26 October 1925 in Godthåb (now Nuuk), Greenland. He was a Greenlandic Inuit. He was the son of Kathrine Chemnitz, a women's rights advocate, and Jørgen Chemnitz [de], an interpreter and politician.

Chemnitz received his early education in Greenland and earned a teacher's degree from Godthåb Seminarium [de] in 1946, later studying in Haslev, Denmark, until 1951. Afterwards, he studied for a year at a college of physical education there. After his education, Chemnitz became a teacher, working in Haslev from 1952 to 1953, in Hornbæk from 1953 to 1955, in Helsinge from 1955 to 1957 and in Sønderborg from 1957 to 1958. He returned to Nuuk in 1958 and began teaching there that year. He became the deputy school inspector of Julianehåb (now Qaqortoq) in 1960.

Chemnitz later studied for a year at a Danish teacher's college before coming back to Greenland, serving as the head of the school district in Thule (now Qaanaaq) from 1964 to 1966, before then moving to Ilulissat where he became the school inspector. He was the head of the Greenland Eferskole in Holstebro, Denmark, from 1968 to 1969, before moving back to his position at Ilulissat, where he served until 1971.
