Blackeberg

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Blackeberg is a suburb of Stockholm from the 1950s and part of the Bromma borough.

Blackeberg was originally a croft first mentioned in 1599. The croft was demolished in 1861 by Knut Ljunglöf ("The king of snus"), who built a house, a stable, a mill and a saw instead. The saw and mill is now both cultural memories and are still standing in Kvarnviken for tourists to see.

The city of Stockholm bought Blackeberg in the late 1940's. Three-story houses, and a centre with a cinema and a library was built there in the 1950's. Many people now started moving from the more central parts of Stockholm to Blackeberg and contiguous suburbs. Blackebergs has one subway station. It was constructed by Peter Celsing and opened in 1952
