Tulestationen

Tulestationen, Electricity substation in Vasastan, Stockholm, Sweden

Tulestationen is an electricity substation at Tulegatan 7–13 in Vasastan, designed by Ferdinand Boberg between 1902 and 1906. Its yellow-plastered office section and adjacent workshops face the street, with gables and entrances in red Övedskloster sandstone. The main portal at Tulegatan 13 is carved with light bulbs, batteries, cable bundles and a generator, and a female figure holding wires to a ring of bulbs stands between the windows, watched over by St Erik.

Tulestationen was designed by Ferdinand Boberg and built between 1902 and 1906 as the main station of Stockholm's electricity works. When Värtaelverket opened in 1903, it became one of several substations converting alternating current into direct current. In 1960 Boberg's portal from Brunkebergsverket, the city's first power plant (in operation 1892–1911), was moved here when that building was demolished for NK's extension.

The main portal on Tulegatan is carved in red Övedskloster sandstone with light bulbs, batteries, cable bundles and a generator above the door. Between the windows stands a bare-breasted woman holding the wires of a light-bulb wreath around her head, with Saint Erik above her. Electric flames are carved over the window and door arches.

The location on Tulegatan is easily accessible by public transport and sits within the Vasastan neighborhood. Visitors can view the building's exterior and photograph the facade and entrance portals.

The building incorporates an entrance portal originally from Brunkebergsverket, Stockholm's first power plant, which was demolished in 1960. This fragment from an earlier industrial era was intentionally preserved and remains visible in the facade, making it a physical link to the city's power generation history.
