Christiaan Ernst Lans (12 September 1789 – 17 August 1843) was a soldier in the Royal Netherlands Army who eventually became the colonial head of the Dutch Gold Coast in 1834. He served until 1836 and returned to the Netherlands afterwards.[1]
Lans was Commander of the Dutch Gold Coast when the ambitious George Maclean was Governor of the British Gold Coast. Lans tried to settle territorial disputes with the British in a peaceful manner. When he returned to the Netherlands in 1836, he was succeeded by the young and erratic Hendrik Tonneboeijer.[2]
