Skånes mittpunkt

Skånes mittpunkt, Geographical center marker in Höör, Sweden

Skånes mittpunkt is marked by Lars Ekholm's sculpture Mittelen, a tall, rust-brown form shaped like the numeral 1 that leans slightly and widens toward the base. An oval opening pierces the upper shaft above its midpoint, and the narrower top curves to the right. It stands on paving of alternating light and dark square tiles, with a building and trees behind.

Skåne's symbolic centre has no agreed location: tradition places it at an old stump mill near Bosjökloster by Ringsjön. Before 2002 Carl-Erik Gustafsson's triangle method put it in Norra Rörum parish, 470 metres from the Tjörnarps border. Carl-Olof Orsander's 2002 rectangle calculation placed it in Höör's cemetery, and Sven Rosborn's 2007 centre-of-gravity calculation at the Brännemölla ruin. On 3 October 2009 landshövding Göran Tunhammar unveiled Lars Ekholm's sculpture "Mittelen" there.

The name Mittelen refers to the middle, and the sculpture was unveiled on 3 October 2009 by landshövding Göran Tunhammar. It was commissioned by Skånska Akademien and Höörs kommun to mark the symbolic centre of Skåne at Brännemölla, where several calculations converged.

The site sits in open countryside and is easily accessible by car with parking available nearby. There is little shade in the immediate surroundings, so visitors planning to stay should bring sun protection.

The sculpture is called "Mittelen", created by artist Lars Ekholm and unveiled on 3 October 2009 by landshövding Göran Tunhammar. It stands at the ruins of Brännemölla on the northern edge of Höör, the spot chosen by Skånska Akademien and Höörs kommun after Sven Rosborn's 2007 centre-of-gravity calculation placed Skåne's symbolic midpoint between the earlier results.
