Södra barnbördshuset, Maternity hospital building in Södermalm, Stockholm, Sweden.
The red brick hospital structure stands at the intersection of Wollmar Yxkullsgatan 27 and Rosenlundsgatan 15 in the Maria Hospital district.
Founded in 1871 as a provisional maternity facility, the building received its official name Södra Barnbördshuset in 1881 to serve Stockholm's growing population.
The facility maintained detailed birth and baptism records from 1865, documenting both legitimate and anonymous births according to social norms.
The building currently houses Maria Beroendecentrum and Stockholm's Center for Eating Disorders, providing specialized medical care services.
Midwife Gustava Jensen's diaries from 1871 to 1909 document the daily operations and medical practices of the maternity ward.
