Johanneberg, District in Gothenburg, Sweden

Johanneberg is a district and primary area in the Centrum district of Gothenburg, covering 75 hectares south of the city centre. It is split into Nedre Johanneberg, with 1920s classicist blocks near Terrassgatan, and Övre Johanneberg, built 1937–1944 to Uno Åhrén's 1936 functionalist plan. Chalmers University of Technology occupies almost all of the western part.

Johanneberg became a district of Gothenburg on 30 January 1920, when the city made its first division into districts; the name came from Johannebergs landeri, an estate now in Lorensberg. Lower Johanneberg was laid out after an international town-planning competition in 1901, won by Per Hallman and Fredrik Sundbärg, and revised in 1917 by city engineer Albert Lilienberg. Upper Johanneberg was still unbuilt around 1900; Uno Åhrén drew its functionalist plan in 1936 and the area was built 1937–1944.

The name Johanneberg was adopted on 30 January 1920, when Gothenburg was first divided into districts, taken from Johannebergs landeri, the estate that now lies in Lorensberg. Around 2,200 student flats run by Stiftelsen Göteborgs studentbostäder and Chalmers studentbostäder stand in the district, among them Viktor Rydbergshemmet and Chabo.

Johanneberg is served by trunk bus lines 60, 61 and 63; line 60 terminates at Fredriksdal on the district's edge and runs to Redbergsplatsen via Avenyn, while 61 and 63 cross the district to Heden. Trams reach the area via the Korsvägen hub and the Chalmers stop. The Chalmerstunneln, opened in 2000 beneath Carlanderska sjukhemmet, links Södra Vägen with Chalmers but has no stop inside.

Johanneberg's name was adopted on 30 January 1920, when Gothenburg first divided itself into districts; it came from Johannebergs landeri, an estate that now lies in the neighbouring district of Lorensberg. The water tower built in 1925 was converted into student housing in 1996.
