Schous plass (lit. "Schou's Square") is a square placed in the south of the borough Grünerløkka in Oslo, Norway.

History

The area belonged to Aker municipality until 1858, when it was incorporated into Christiania (Oslo).^[1] It was laid out in 1873, and got its name in 1874. Its namesake was brewery owner Christian Schou, who died in the same year.^[2] Not far away, at the property Schousløkken in the street Trondheimsveien, he had established production facilities of his beer brewery Schous Bryggeri between 1872 and 1874.^[3]^[4] A park was established at the square between 1915 and 1916, and renovated in 1986.^[2]

Schous plass 1.

The square is surrounded by four streets and buildings. The local library, administratively a satellite of the Deichman Library, was raised here between 1912 and 1914. A building for the Norwegian School of Marketing (Norwegian: Norges Markedshøyskole) was erected between 1989 and 1990.^[2] This institution was incorporated into the Norwegian School of Management in 1992, an institution which had its headquarters in Sandvika at the time, and only a satellite at Schous plass. The Norwegian School of Management concentrated its Oslo and Sandvika institutions into one school at Nydalen in 2005.^[5] Among the most notable residents of the buildings at Schous plass are a young adult Edvard Munch, who lived at the address Schous plass 1 from 1885 to 1889.^[2]
