Stampen, Residential district in northeast Gothenburg, Sweden

Stampen is a residential district in northeast Gothenburg with a mix of apartment buildings, shops, and transit connections. The area spans several streets and sits close enough to the city center to remain well connected by public transport.

Stampen takes its name from an oil stamp mill built in 1715 by millwright and city architect Jacob Feigel; the name was recorded for the area by 1727. A cloth fulling mill had been set up in 1704 by David Amija and Hans Coopman. The suburb received its official name in 1923, having previously been the 16th rote.

The name comes from the oil stamp mill that mill builder Jacob Feigel set up in 1715; the area was first called Stampen in 1727. A stone portal at Stampens kyrkogård carries the inscription "Tänk på döden". Mariakyrkan was completed in 1815, and the old spinning house from 1742 has been known as Gullbergsbrohemmet since 1909.

The district connects to the center via several tram and bus lines, making it easy to navigate. The best time to explore is during daytime when shops are open and the area feels active.

The name Stampen comes from an oil stamp mill that mill builder Jacob Feigel set up in 1715; the district was first recorded under that name in 1727. The stream that powered it, Stampån, ran between today's Stampgatan 22 and 24 and was filled in in 1854.
