KUNGSHOLMEN
Kungsholmen 1754 - OJ Gjöding
Kungsholmen - an island in the city.
For most of the suburbs as you travel through, to and from the suburbs to the west. Or briefly visit in a matter of just returning. Finding new passport at the police station, make a cataract surgery at St. Erik, to celebrate weddings in City Hall, for a few selected a Nobel Dinner, for political buffs a debate in the City Council, for the criminal trial in the Town Hall, for sun-worshipers a bath at Smith Sudden, for exerciser are a passport with Friskis & Svettis Rålambshov, the genealogist a plunge in the town hall or the National Archives.
The city's childhood was this virgin hunting ground for the nobility and distinguished citizens.At the 1400 mid-century, it was summer home to Franciscan from the Franciscan monastery at Riddarholmen. They laid out gardens in the fertile valleys, built the brick out to the west and is said to have engaged in prohibited worldly pleasures.
Long way off the island was called Monk camp. One block at Hantverkargatan bears that name. Despite its relative youth, Kungsholmen, a rich and varied history and many of the activities carried out here has been significant development in the country.
The monks were expelled by King Gustav Vasa reduction - "they went out, taking something else before," wrote one chronicler. The land was taken over by the Crown but the island remained empty and deserted for more than a hundred years.
In the 1640s, donated the island to the city, a city plan was drawn up, Hantverkargatan got its name and glassblowers, klockgjutare, strumpstickerskor and tanners moved in, attracted by tax breaks and free from coercion guild.
Nobles and high officials built summer fun and let build beautiful gardens, Charles XI graciously gave permission to change the name Munk camp on Kungsholmen, a church was built and named after his wife Ulrika Eleonora.
In a few centuries Kungsholmen something of a pastoral idyll if you could Treaties smell of tanneries at Mälardalen beach, but then came the industrial explosion of Bolinders workshops, Separator, Eldkvarn, Samuel Owens steamboat yards. Ore Farms torn down, gardens disappeared and were replaced by factories and hospitals.Housing was built to work the invasion, but the dwellings were small, chiefly in one room and kitchen. So it is today.
From the rest of the city looked Kungsholmen hardly inviting, with a wall of workshop and factory chimneys against Clear Lake. It was dirty, ugly and poor. Starvation Holmen was called in the vernacular.
But there was a change. When Ragnar Östberg's stately City Hall stood on Eldkvarns place. When Sven Wallander functionalist building replaced the slums at the Royal Cliff. When Stockholm's most beautiful promenade built along Norrmälarstrand.
The Sports Palace taught thousands of Stockholm children to swim with the masterful swimmer Arne Borg watching from the pool side. To the biotäta St. Eriksgatan pilgrimages South residents over the North Bridge and the Dragon's fiance armchairs hugged young couples. They managed to maybe get an apartment in sunny Fredhäll, where there was both chutes and tub. Staying at Kungsholmen suddenly felt fresh and modern. In Marieberg rose the large newspaper houses. High above the Cape Smith lived Tage Erlander and Norrmälarstrand Sickan Carlsson.
Kungsholmen is currently about 50 000 inhabitants. They are much younger than the average in the rest of the city. Their average income is higher. There are 50 000 jobs within the district. 50 000 passengers passed through the subway latches Fridhemsplan every day.
And the future seems bright. Shops and bistros thrive. New construction projects are planned in the west. There is a spirit of optimism.
Forget starvation Holmen! Welcome to Kungsholmen!
"Poor Way. Fleming Way. Dusty with soot, grim and
mushy. With Grubbens tottering pauper and carpet whipping
insane, with trasklädda kids who played in the mud.
Poor street, lined with timber yards, stock barns and garages
where the factory pipes howled mornings and evenings. "So writes Per
Anders Fogelström in the novel "Mothers and sons." And the Swedish
Tourist Association's guidebook, this almost officiösa writing,
reported in 1929: "Fleminggatan offer, however, not
a casual browser to the eye. It is a broad, straight
street traffic, monotonous and joyless built on, and it has
not entirely without reason called for Stockholm's ugliest
street. " Naima Wifstrand does, however, proudly entitled "Naima
from Fleming Way "over the first chapter of his memoirs. In
ancient times it has been called Reparebansgatan, Glasbruksgatan
and Brickyard Road for companies that stood here. Grubbens
was in the 1840's a beautiful garden that stretched down
to Barnhus Bay. On summer evenings were treated to
entertainment in Grubbens Park. In 1860 took over the site of
the city, which opened a supply facility. It was replaced
in 1922 by St. Erik's Hospital. The largest house on the street is the

, designed by Anders Tengbom.

FLEMING STREET
With good reason did Klas Fleming name to the street in 1885. He was Stockholm's first of the governor, a powerful and very energetic man. The decade of 1634-44, when he led the city became one of the most dynamic periods in the history of Stockholm. Munk camp (Kungsholmen) had belonged to the royal family and called "Queen's Island" after King Gustav II Adolf's widow Maria Eleonora. Then she fled from Sweden in 1640 beganFleming apply pressure to the ground should be submitted to the city, which had room for "nyttige and good hantverksmän", especially for those who depended on access to water. An initial donation letter was issued in 1644 and Queen Christina of 1647 came to pass even the western part of Monk camp. For the city as a whole, however, Fleming's most remembered for his development plan (designed by
city engineer Anders Torstensson), which is the most comprehensive ever undertaken in Stockholm. On Norrmalm was torn down and moved over 2000 yards and straight streets mapped out. The plan was for the lower part of the Monk camp, which was still sparsely populated, applies broadly still. On the south where the problems bigger, but some plot owners managed to make beneficial changes. Technical Board House, where similar issues are dealt with today, was built 1962-65 by Nils Sterner and Carl-Olof Deurell as architects.
Over Governor Klas Fleming, who stood behind Stockholm's
first town plan was to give his name to Fleming Way. To
gain further glory and went out to war, but was hit
by a cannonball during the Battle of Femern in 1644. (National

Not even two horses could pull the dent young truck unless you have to resort to using horses.Help The driver, a beautifully uniformed young man, admired by the Kungsholmen small boys. The artist Gustav Magnusson says in the book "Outskirts Guy ':
"We saw the tram is approaching at a brisk trot. In its place -
just like a circus performer - was the enviable help the driver with reins and whip in one hand. In the other hand he held the big hook that was attached to the horse dragkejda. When the tram at full speed came up beside him he stepped easily and elegantly up on the step, bent down and attached the hook in the loop later in the tram, cracked the long whip - and up the hill we went with the horse on the sidelines and a piece in front of the two parhästarna.

Hornsberg

the Danish Ordrupbanan as a model. In Denmark, there was

practically doomed. Husqvarna, which manufactured both
bicycles and motorcycles, supported them, but some
sponsorship efforts of the latter-day format will probably not have been.

SPORTS PALACE
On October 20, 1934 inaugurated the Sports Palace. The cost of
construction impressed, 6.5 million, it was claimed. The swimming pool
attracted the Stockholm Pride. Sports Palace was one of the
largest indoor parks in Europe, with 50-meter pool and
barnbad. From the south came the school children here and swam for
their brands, the already legendary master swimmer Arne Borg
and Channel swimmer Sally Bauer walked along the edge of the pool and
controlled. In the house there was a café and restaurant with
banquet room and lake view, club-rooms, gymnasiums,
tennis courts, a concert hall and a cinema called Rivoli.
Over theater kopparbeslagna entrance doors was a relief of
Gunnar Torhamn. Sports Palace had been established on private
initiative by K. Faugust, who was also a builder. Architect
, Jean S. Adrian. Towards the end of the 50s was the end of
the sporting activities. The interior was converted into offices
and department stores, the cinema became a recording studio. Something of a
role model for the Sports Palace was the St. Erik's Palace on the other
side of the street which was built in 1907-10 for industrial use and
housing. Architectural firm Dorph & Höög had done
the drawings.
Sports Palace took over the bath current role as a swimming school for

Eldkvarn burns October 31, 1878 - Painting of Giustaf Carleman
"When Eldkvarn burned" is a term for over a century
been used by locals as a time stamp. Over the years
it has become increasingly blurred. It was 31 October 1878th
No other fire in Stockholm has been more talked about and
yet it is far from being the largest. Eldkvarn got its name
from the time it was built in the early 1800s, it was the
first Swedish mill that was powered by steam engine - "fire and
