Year 1384 Norrköping was declared City
This is a lens about my city. I was born here and now I live here. Norrköping is located in the county Östergötland to the east in Sweden by the Baltic Sea. Read more about Sweden here: irenemariassweden
1384 King Albrekt af Mecklenburg Announced Norrköping to be called a city. But because of fires in the city Hall, we cannot say for sure how much earlier the city was there....but it was!
Since then, Norrköping has been destroid several times by enemies. First by the Danes 1657 and later by Russians 1719. Norrköping has also been destroid by big fires. One was 1655 and devestating. After 1719 the city was rebuilt, founded the oldest existing newspaper NT and regained the place of being the second city in Sweden until the end of 1800, when Gothenburg had expanded. Today many cities are larger.
Today you can see how the old buildings are together with more modern ones. The street "Drottninggatan" runs through the city from the beautiful Central station to the Museum of Art. You can easily go thorough Norrköping on trams. The photo here is of number 2, passing close to where I live! Welcome!
The harbour in Norrköping can recieve deep going ships. It is very well located with railways and logistics to the rest of Sweden. 120 vessels came into the harbour 2005.
Norrköping is this year in the highest league of football (socker) in Sweden. Every time they have a match the trams have little flags with the teams symbol! So finally now - Norrköping won the match!!
Just outside Norrköping is a really nice Zoo. they have so much going on. You can drive by car and watch wild animals, see the Dophins jumping and watch the tigers being fed!! Norrköping also have an airport! Just get here!

Silver treasure found
Bracelet and coins
An old Silver Treasure is found south of Valdermarsvik. The coins and the bracelet is dated to be from year 1030-1050 CE.Why the treasure was burried in the ground is often because people wanted to hide it from intruders. Now the coins and lovely bracelet is up in the open again. Mostly because of a fire in a house year 2002. The ground was dug and now the silver is found.
The Swedish coin is one of the first made.

Norrköping Symphony Orchestra, or SON was founded 1912. Today the Orchestra are world famous and have a new beautiful Concert hall - De Geer hall. See the house with pillars.
The old industrial area
Still in use and loved
The so called "Industrial landscape" was mostly built 1850 - 1917.But for 400 years, since 1600 the industries was built around the River Motala Ström passing through the city. Here were manufactured Clothes, Weapons, Paper and Ship building. Norrköping was manufacturing 70% of all the clothes in Sweden. 1975 though the last mashine stopped and a silence covered the Industrial area.
Today there are many departements of the state in these buildings. The quite famous Norrköping Symphoni Orchestra has a beautiful Concert hall here- De Geerhallen. Also offices and museums are here in these old buildings.
I work in one of these offices and one evening when I walked home I took that blurry photo with the chandelers. It was so beautiful with these old brick walls and three big lamps between them. Unfortunately I just had my mobile phone for the photo.
The yellow brick building is called "The Iron". From the beginning 1917 it was Textil Industri here and today a museum of Work.
Useful links about Norrköping and what you can see
- Ringdansen
- The possibilities for implementing a rainwater collection system in Ringdansen, a residential area in Norrkoping, Sweden, have been explored by analysing four scenarios for using rainwater in a dual water supply system to supplement drinking water. A computer model has been generated to quantify the water saving potential of the rainwater collection scheme. The performance of the rainwater system is described by its water saving efficiency (WSE). Standard and low water consumption appliances have been taken into account in evaluating WSE and water conservation. According to the analysis, suggested rainwater tank sizes are presented. The book about implementing rainwater can you buy here on my lens. Scroll up to Amazon module with books.

Above the waterline, the "Götheborg" is a historical sailing ship. The modern machinery and the majority of the advanced technical equipment have been concealed deep down in the hull.
