Tantolundens luftvärnsställning

Tantolundens luftvärnsställning, Military fortification in Södermalm district, Stockholm, Sweden.

Tantolundens luftvärnsställning is an anti-aircraft position on the hill about 300 metres west of Tantolunden park, above the Tantolunden allotment gardens in Stockholm. It covered roughly 135 by 65 metres and held about seven concrete and stone rifle pits plus a protective bank 1–1.5 metres high. Four gun emplacements remain visible; the rifle pits have been demolished.

The position was built in 1939 to defend Stockholm with Bofors 40mm guns against air attacks. It remained operational until 1945 as part of the city's broader air defense system.

This installation reflects how Stockholm organized its air defense during the second world war. The city accepted military structures integrated into neighborhoods as a necessary measure for protection.

The position lies on the hill about 300 metres west of Tantolunden park, above the allotment gardens, and is reached on foot via the surrounding paths. Four gun emplacements remain visible; the machine-gun positions about 50 metres away were demolished, and other parts were sealed. Look for the low protective wall, 1 to 1.5 metres high, around the site.

The two Bofors m/36 guns were wheel-mounted and kept in guarded depots when the situation was calm, so the visible gun emplacements on Tantoberget were often empty. The position was manned by 47 men with an average age of about 35, drawn from the Home Guard and Landstormen.
