Lisebergs landeri, Historical estate in Gothenburg, Sweden
Lisebergs landeri is the surviving main building of an estate whose grounds now form part of the Liseberg amusement park in Gothenburg. The estate was originally registered as "Liseberg 12 roten 74", and its land covered Geteberget and the area east of it. The building stands as the last structure of the former landeri.
The land was first recorded in city accounts for 1625–1630 as a 2-morgen meadow leased to Nils Börgesson and Olof Torsson. In 1745 the magistrate granted Jacob Bratt about 2 tunnland for a tobacco plantation, called the Brattiska Plantaget. In 1752 Johan Anders Lamberg bought the plantation, starch and powder works for 14,000 daler silvermynt.
The name Getebergsängen, used for the whole area into the mid-1800s, came from Geteberget, the hill by Södra vägen. A 1751 lease let the townspeople walk and amuse themselves on the grounds in summer and take sand from the hill for the city roads. Tobacco was grown here from 1733 on the magistrate's advice.
The main building of Lisebergs landeri still stands within the Liseberg amusement park area in Gothenburg. The site is reached on foot through the park; the surrounding grounds are now part of the park rather than a separate estate. The building can be viewed from the outside.
The estate's land was purchased by Gothenburg city and became the foundation for the development of a major amusement park in 1923. This conversion of a private property into public recreation space marked a turning point in how the city expanded its leisure offerings.
