Rekarne

Rekarne is the historical name for the north-western part of the province Södermanland in Sweden. It constitutes the lands on both sides of river Eskilstunaån between Lake Mälaren and Lake Hjälmaren and approximately corresponds to the present day Eskilstuna Municipality.

The name no longer carries any administrative significance, but survives in some local place names and the name of the local Sparbanken Rekarne bank.
