Old City Hall, Malmö

Malmö Rådhus, the attractive old town hall in Malmö, is located at the east side of the Stortorget, right in the heart of Malmö's old town.

The historical town hall in Malmö was built in 1544–1547, at a time, when Malmö was one of the largest cities in Scandinavia. The two-storey building was the largest town hall which was built in the 16th century.

The town hall received its present, Dutch Renaissance style facade around 1860 in the wake of extensive restoration work. It was attempted to restore the original medieval facade.

The vaulted cellars still look like in the Middle Ages, the ceiling of the upper floors were decorated with elaborate stucco work in the 19th century. The Knut hall was designed like the Hall of Mirrors of the Versailles Palace and is used for special events and balls. On the same floor is also the exclusive Bernadotte room, which is exclusively for royal and diplomatic guests.

Malmö, Sweden 🇸🇪

30Dec2018

Since we were so close, Ben & I decided to rent a car & head to Malmö for a day. It was less than an hour away so an easy drive across the water, half on a bridge & half in a tunnel.

We just punched in the city’s castle as our end destination & walked around the city from there.

The old castle, now an art museum we skipped to enjoy the sunshine outside, was surrounded by a big park with the High Court & windmill nearby.

Just a quick 10 minute walk away was the 400+ year old town square with city hall (Rådhus) & the Governor’s Residence (Residenset).

We could have spent more time here but decided to head back early for a chance to see CPH in the sunshine.

One thing I hate with #Sweden is #jantelagen the idea that you should not be to good or to bad. The best thing is to be a grey mouse in the middle of al other grey mouses. I refuse to adopt to this idea. Instead I want to shine as the star I am. (på/i Malmö Rådhus) https://www.instagram.com/p/BmyJqgsAL5K/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=4zrthcpbr3z0

Trompe l’œil – Subtly transmogrifyed town hall  A very subtle transmogrification of Malmö town hall built in the sixteenth century. It has been rebuilt through the centuries and the facade is being touched up.

The mayor of Malmö said a few words about us, the building, and Danes. @ Malmö Rådhus (town hall)

Malmö has a population of 355,00 representing 182 nationalities, and half of the population under 35 (perhaps owing to its 3 universities).

The building from 1546 and still used for city council meetings and court (though that was moved out this summer). This room is the council chamber. The building (and town) was Danish until 1648.

The painting behind her is from 1709. It depicts a local drumming up support to resist the Danish trying to take the city back.

Food in Malmö

In 1914 (15 May to 4 October) Malmö hosted the Baltic Exhibition. The large park Pildammsparken was arranged and planted for this large event. The Russian part of the exhibition was never taken down, owing to the outbreak of World War I.

On 18 and 19 December 1914, the Three Kings Meeting was held in Malmö. After a somewhat infected period (1905–1914), which included the dissolution of the Swedish-Norwegian Union, King Oscar II was replaced with King Håkon VII in Norway, who was the younger brother of the Danish King Christian X. As Oscar died in 1907, and his son Gustav V became the new King of Sweden, the tensions within Scandinavia were still unclear, but during this historical meeting, the Scandinavian Kings found internal understanding, as well as a common line about remaining neutral in the ongoing war.

Within sports, Malmö has mostly been associated with football. IFK Malmö participated in the first ever edition of Allsvenskan 1924/25, but from the mid-1940s Malmö FF started to rise, and ever since it has been one of the most prominent clubs within Swedish football. They have won Allsvenskan 23 times in all (as of February 2018) between 1943/44 and 2017.

By 1971, Malmö reached 265,000 inhabitants, but this was the peak which would stand for more than 30 years.(Svedala was, for a few years in the early 1970s, a part of Malmö municipality.)

By the mid-1970s Sweden experienced a recession that hit the industrial sector especially hard; shipyards and manufacturing industries suffered, which led to high unemployment in many cities of Skåne. Kockums shipyard had become a symbol of Malmö as its largest employer and, when shipbuilding ceased in 1986, confidence in the future of Malmö plummeted among politicians and the public. In addition, many middle-class families moved into one-family houses in surrounding municipalities such as Vellinge Municipality, Lomma Municipality and Staffanstorp Municipality, which profiled themselves as the suburbs of the upper-middle class. By 1985, Malmö had lost 35,000 inhabitants and was down to 229,000.

The Swedish financial crises of the early 1990s exacerbated Malmö's decline as an industrial city; between 1990 and 1995 Malmö lost about 27,000 jobs and its economy was seriously strained. However, from 1994 under the leadership of the then mayor Ilmar Reepalu, the city of Malmö started to create a new economy as a center of culture and knowledge. Malmö reached bottom in 1995, but that same year marked the commencement of the massive Öresund Bridge road, railway and tunnel project, connecting it to Copenhagen and to the rail lines of Europe. The new Malmö University opened in 1998 on Kockums' former dockside. Further redevelopment of the now disused south-western harbor followed; a city architecture exposition (Bo01) was held in the area in 2001, and its buildings and villas form the core of a new city district. Designed with attractive waterfront vistas, it was intended to be and has been successful in attracting the urban middle-class.

Since 1974, the Kockums Crane had been a landmark in Malmö and a symbol of the city's manufacturing industry, but in 2002 it was disassembled and moved to South Korea. In 2005, Malmö gained a new landmark with completion of Turning Torso, the tallest skyscraper in Scandinavia. Although the transformation from a city with its economic base in manufacturing has returned growth to Malmö, the new types of jobs have largely benefited the middle and upper classes.

In its 2015 and 2017 reports, Police in Sweden placed the Rosengård and the Södra Sofielund/Seved district in the most severe category of urban areas with high crime rates.
