Ruddammen, Residential district with water pond in Stockholm, Sweden.

Ruddammen is a residential district centered around a water pond surrounded by green spaces and homes. The water body and landscaping create distinct zones for recreation and everyday living throughout the year.

The area was called Stora Kulberget or Albanoberget before Roslagstull's epidemic hospital was built in the late 19th century. The name Ruddammen comes from ponds at Ingemarshof where rudd were farmed. The district name was adopted in the 1990s during redevelopment of the hospital site.

The name Ruddammen refers to the ponds at the Ingemarshof estate where rudas, a freshwater fish, were once farmed. The surrounding streets—Körsbärsvägen, Stickelbärsvägen, Brunbärsvägen, Bigarråvägen—are named after the former Körsbärshagen cherry orchard. Since 1990, the museum apartment at Stickelbärsvägen 7 has shown how a 1930s barnrikehus flat looked when new.

The area is well served by public buses and the nearby Tekniska Högskolan transit station, making it easy to reach from central Stockholm. Most paths around the water and green spaces are flat and accessible for walking.

The name Ruddammen refers to fish ponds that once lay west of here, where rudd were farmed on the Ingemarshof estate. The ponds are gone, but the name was only adopted for the district in the 1990s, during redevelopment of the old Roslagstull hospital site.
