Söderbergs trappor, Historic staircase in Södermalm district, Stockholm, Sweden
Description
Söderbergs trappor is an extensive granite staircase in Stockholm that spans 60 meters with 144 steps connecting multiple street levels. It provides a steep direct route between Katarinavägen, Renstiernas gata, and Stadsgården across the sloped landscape.
History
The staircase was built in 1750 on land owned by stocking weaver Anders Söderberg and originally had wooden steps. It was later reconstructed in granite during the 20th century, creating the structure seen today.
Culture
The staircase connected dock workers and residents across different neighborhoods, serving as a key passage through the steep terrain of the southern district. It reflects how people moved through and shaped this part of the city over time.
Practical
The staircase is accessible year-round from multiple entry points throughout the district without restrictions. Take care when climbing after rain or during winter, as the granite surface can become slippery.
