Early life
Unger was born in Christiania, now
Oslo , to Johan Carl Jonassen Unger and Annemarie Wetlesen.
[1] Between 1830 and 1832 he lived in
Telemark with the poet and priest
Simon Olaus Wolff .
[1] He graduated from school in 1835.

Academic career
Unger studied philology after school but did not receive a degree as mathematics, a subject with which he struggled, was compulsory for philologists.
[1] However, in 1841 he was awarded a scholarship to continue studying
Old Norse ,
Old English and
Old German .
[1]
In 1845 Unger began lecturing on Old Norse at the University of Christiana.
