Vintertullen, Architectural structure in Södermalm, Stockholm, Sweden.
Vintertullen is an informal area of Södermalm in inner Stockholm, centred on Anna Lindhs park, formerly Vintertullsparken, and Vintertullstorget. It also names a block southwest of Vitabergen by Malmgårdsvägen, and the basområde had 1,487 inhabitants in 2005. Kvarteret Hamnvakten was built here in the 1980s within the Hammarby sjöstad urban project.
The name comes from Hammarby vintertull, one of Stockholm's toll stations where fees were collected on goods brought into the city by sled across frozen lakes in winter, from what are now Nacka and Värmdö municipalities. The toll house itself stood at the corner of today's Malmgårdsvägen and Ljusterögatan and was demolished in 1907. Ljusterögatan was formerly called Tullgårdsgränd, and Malmgårdsvägen was also known as Hammarby Tullgata.
