Grev Turegatan

Grev Turegatan, Street in Östermalm, Stockholm, Sweden

Grev Turegatan is a street on Östermalm in Stockholm, running from Birger Jarlsgatan in the south to Valhallavägen in the north and crossing Linnégatan and Karlavägen. Its southern section is a pedestrian zone with an entrance to the Sturegallerian shopping centre at number 11, where a tower from the former Freys Hyrverk building rises above the entrance area. Across the street stands the Ingenjörsvetenskapsakademien building, housed in the former riding hall and entertainment venue Tattersall, designed by Gustaf Lindgren and Agi Lindegren in 1895–1896.

The street was called greve Tures gatu in 1665, named after Ture Gabrielsson Oxenstierna, son of riksrådet Gabriel Gustafsson Oxenstierna, who had a malmgård near Nybroviken. On Petrus Tillaeus's 1733 map the northern part was Squalbergsgatan and the southern part Trädgårdsgatan. The name Grev Turegatan dates from 1858. From 1900 to 1974 Freys Hyrverk ran its business at number 11 and built the house whose tower still rises above the entrance area.

The name refers to Ture Gabrielsson Oxenstierna, son of riksdrots Gabriel Gustafsson Oxenstierna, who owned a malmgård near Nybroviken given to his father by Gustav II Adolf. In 1665 the street was called greve Tures gatu. On Petrus Tillaeus's 1733 map the northern part was Squalbergsgatan and the southern part Trädgårdsgatan, after a garden with a cooling brook, a side arm of Rännilen.

The southern stretch of Grev Turegatan, from Birger Jarlsgatan up to the Sturegallerian entrance at number 11, is a pedestrian zone, so walking here means no through traffic. The street runs straight north across Linnégatan and Karlavägen to Valhallavägen, which makes it easy to keep your bearings. The Sturegallerian entrance sits on the same block as the old Freys Hyrverk building, whose tower still rises above the entrance area.

The fountain outside Sperlingens backe 47 (Grev Turegatan 1 / Birger Jarlsgatan 16) is Eldhs fontän from 1921. A plaque at Grev Turegatan 35 marks that the author Hjalmar Söderberg was born in a house on that plot on 2 July 1869. The street's southern stretch is now a pedestrian zone.
