hi ida!! im visiting stockholm for a few days - do you have any must go-to recs? i love art, stationery, books, and museums

Hej!! Ooh that’s very exciting! I love Nationalmuseum (art museum with both Swedish and international art pieces) and Stadsbiblioteket (the city library) is very nice! They’re going to close it soon for renovations but I think it should still be open now. Söderbokhandeln is also very cozy and also has a section for books in other languages! A lot of people like Vasamuseet but I haven’t been in ages. Moderna museet is nice for modern art! Skansen is fun, it’s an open air museum + zoo with Swedish culture + animals. If you want to learn more about Swedish culture I’d also recommend Nordiska museet which is close by on Djurgården which in general is super nice to walk around! I love bringing people all around Söder when they come to visit, you don’t have to do the whole thing but definitely go to Monteliusvägen on Mariaberget!

I hope you’ll have a nice time and let me know if you have more questions! ❣️

[balloons-and-shadows]

Since I've lived very close to Stockholm, and therefore visited the city many times, here are (just a few) recommendations;

Mariaberget; beautiful views over the river and the city

Södermalm; the part of Stockholm where the Mariaberget is located, also has many fun shops and cafés

National museum; has all kinds of art and entrance is free

Take the Blue metro line; most stations on this metro are part of a beautiful art exhibition (more info)

Visit Skansen; This open air museum shows traditional Swedish life and even has a zoo

Take the ferry to Djurgården; this is the island where Skansen is located, where you can find other museums (such as the ABBA museum) and amusement parks

Riddarholmen; a small island/peninsula just before Gamla stan with many old buildings, walk towards the water for a beautiful view of the Stadshuset

Stadshuset; you can walk through the courtyard to the water and take pictures over the river of the houses on the rocks/hill

Walk to Observatorielunden; the observatory is located at the end of a busy shopping street on top of a hill. There is even a ghost house nearby.

Östermalm; a "richer" neighbourhood of Stockholm with beautiful buildings, luxury shops and many, many Porsches

Hope this helped! Also, let me know if you'd more recommendations like this :)

Malin Matsdotter, a first witch at Sweden.

Information from wikipedia.

Malin Matsdotter or Mattsdotter, also known as Rumpare-Malin (1613 – 5 August 1676) was an alleged Swedish witch. She is known as one of few people in Sweden confirmed to have been executed by burning for witchcraft, and the only one to be executed by this method during the famous witch hunt Det Stora oväsendet ('The Great Noise') in Sweden during 1668–1676, which ended with her execution.

Malin Matsdotter was according to protocol of Finnish heritage: she herself later stated in court protocol that she originally learned her prayers in the Finnish language. She married Erik Nilsson, who worked within the manufacture of nails and other metal threads, and had two daughters with him: Anna Eriksdotter and Maria Eriksdotter.

In 1668, her spouse was executed for having had intercourse with a cow. He had been reported by their eldest daughter Anna, at that time thirteen years old, who reported him after the sisters had been brought home after having run away from home because of the beatings of their father, after which their father ordered their mother to beat them again. During the beating, Anna reportedly said to her father: "God knows mother beats, and You beats, and I shall no longer remain silent, such a sin You have committed, all the time standing on a chair over our black cow like a roster over a hen."

Malin Matsdotter remarried a man by the name Anders Arendtsson. After her remarriage her daughters left home, stating the frequent arguments between her and her new spouse as a reason. Very little is known about Malin Matsdotter, other than fragments that came forward during her trial, which was also not much. Her profession is unknown: she is mentioned to have been active as a midwife at one occasion, but it is not known whether it was her regular profession. Though described as poor, in 1676, she owned her own house in Mariaberget in Stockholm, and she had been hired as a midwife by Anna Zippel (also accused in the same witch trial), but there is no information that she was a professional midwife, and she is not referred to as such in the court protocols. In court protocol she is referred to by the sobriquet "Rumpare Malin": the meaning of the word "Rumpare" is unknown, but it is similar to the term "Rumpoxe", which was a contemporary pejorative used for "stupid" people.

Since 1668, a national witch hunt raged through Sweden since the accusation of Märet Jonsdotter by Gertrud Svensdotter in Dalarna, resulting in the establishment of witch commissions around the nation and execution of about 280 people, accused of abducting children to the Witches' Sabbath of Satan in Blockula and often judged upon the testimonies of children. The Swedish witch frenzy reached its peak with the Torsåker witch trials in 1675, and reached the capital of Stockholm the same year with the Gävle-Boy, which lead to a witch trial in the congregation of Katarina Church, known as Katarina witch trial, were children and teenagers of the Katarina parish started to follow the example of the Gävle Boy by pointing out women for abducting them to Satan. By May 1676, the Katarina witch trial had resulted in the execution of the sisters Brita and Anna Zippel, Maria Jönsdotter, Margareta Matsdotter and Anna Persdotter Lärka, as well as death in prison by suicide of Anna Månsdotter and Karin Johansdotter.

On 16 July 1676, Malin Matsdotter was judged guilty as charged by a unanimous court on the testimonies of her daughters and sentenced to be executed. The method of execution was the subject of debate in the royal witchcraft commission, who was to decide between three alternatives; the first was the customary execution by decapitation followed by public burning of the corpse; the second was that she would be subjected to torture prior to the first alternative; and the third alternative was that she would be executed by being burned alive. The last alternative was given the majority vote. The clerical commissioner Carolinus stated in his vote that the honor of God should be regarded before the personal pain of Malin and that she should be given a taste of what was awaiting her in Hell after having seduced so many souls to Satan; commissioners Ivar and Noreus motivated their vote by the deterring effect such a method would have upon the public and her accomplices, and commissioner doctor Urban Hjärne suggested that she be tortured with hot iron prior to the execution, which would make her unconscious and unable to feel pain, because her death would otherwise be too cruel, but the suggestion was revoked with the view, expressed by a priest, that the honour of the name of God was more important than Malin's personal experience of pain; the method was also deemed necessary as an example to the public and to her accomplices. She was instead to have a bag of gunpowder secured around her neck to make her death quicker. Because the court was convinced of her guilt, her refusal to admit guilt made her position worse on the eyes of the court. One suggestion was, that at the place of execution, she would be given a last chance to confess her sin; if she did so, she would be decapitated before she was burned.

The method of execution make the case of Malin Matsdotter unique in Sweden. She was the only person of the almost 300 people executed during the great Swedish witch hunt of 1668–76, to be executed by being burned alive instead of by decapitation followed by public burning of the corpse, which was the normal execution for sorcery in Sweden. Though several crimes formally allowed for public burning as method of execution, this actually meant that the condemned be "executed and burned", which meant that they were first executed by decapitation or hanging, after which their corpse was publicly burned: the method of burning someone still alive is only known to have been used in the country a very few times before, and the verdict was therefore controversial. Malin Matsdotter was the last person to be executed by burning in the capital of Stockholm, and the second to last to be executed by burning in Sweden. No other person executed for sorcery in Sweden is confirmed to have been burned alive. Because of this, she has sometimes also been regarded the only one in Sweden to be executed by burning for sorcery altogether. However, though decapitation was the customary method, they were likely at least some cases in the early 17th-century were this method may have been used. The method of execution by burning had been debated by the commission in Stockholm previously during the Catharina witch trial of 1675–76 and actually given to an earlier condemned, Anna Lärka, for her refusal to admit guilt, but it was retracted when she finally did so. In the case of Matsdotter, the sentence was to be carried out.

The execution was performed in the square of Hötorget in Stockholm the 5 August 1676. Malin Matsdotter was to be executed alongside Anna "Annika" Simonsdotter Hack, known as "Tysk-Annika", who had also been accused and sentenced to death on the testimony of her own children, but was to be executed the normal way by decapitation before burning. The contrast between the behavior of the two have been noted. Anna Simonsdotter was described as full humility and respect and behaved as was expected by her, and though she did not directly say that she was guilty, she behaved as was expected of her, and "by her remorse, by her psalms, and by falling on her knees and lifting her head and her hands to the sky, confirmed the justice in the verdict and the justice in the world". According to contemporary witnesses, Malin Matsdotter behaved with great dignity and courage during her execution. When asked to take the hand of her daughter to make peace with her before death, she refused. She "did not seem to fear death much, courageously mounting the stake", and even the official execution protocol noted that she "was very tough". She spoke calmly with the executioner, "allowing him to fasten her with iron by her hands and feet", and the bag of gunpowder was placed around her neck to hasten death. She talked back to the priests with her head held high when they pleaded with her to acknowledge her sin, maintaining her innocence. When her daughter cried out and appealed to her to admit her crimes "Malin delivered her daughter in the hands of the Devil and cursed her for eternity". The daughter in question would have been Maria Eriksdotter, as Anna Eriksdotter was herself in arrest as the time. The execution in itself was described:

"But though all of this was both horrifying and pathetic to look upon, those who suffered death did not shed one tear but stood by their standpoint of innocence with an unnatural courage".

Tradition claims that Malin Matsdotter did not scream but died in silence, in accordance with contemporary view that witches felt no pain.

Here, have a barrage of photos in and around Stockholm :)

Aside from whizzing from metro station to metro station to check out the incredible artwork, we spent most of the day in the Södermalm area where there’s a nice viewpoint of the city (Mariaberget) in addition to some super beautiful buildings. Lunch was up north at the Östermalm saluhall where it cost almost $30 for an open faced shrimp sandwich (at least it was tasty?!) and dinner at Meatballs for the People - got a good fix of Swedish food today I think!

6 Tage Stockholm

19.08.22: Ankunft Stockholm

Nach einer 3-ständigen Zugfahrt von Göteborg nach Stockholm bin ich endlich in Stockholm angekommen. Dort wartete bereits eine meiner Schwestern auf mich. Denn wir würden uns die nächsten Tage zu 3. Stockholm anschauen. Meine andere Schwester würde allerdings erst am nächsten Morgen ankommen. Da es schon recht spät am Nachmittag war, gingen wir ins Hotel, stellten die Sachen ab, machten und frisch und gingen zur Feier unseres Wiedersehens in einer sehr leckeren Pizzeria essen. Auf dem Weg ins Restaurant sind wir noch einer spektakulären Show begegnet: dem 11-Meter-schießen vom Dancing-Football, bei dem die Spieler zunächst verschiedene Tanzfiguren machen, bevor sie letztendlich auf spektakuläre weise auf das Tor schießen. Auch aufgrund der glitzernden Kleidung war es wirklich sehr witzig anzuschauen.

20.08.22: Gamlastan und Östermalm

Nach einem ausgiebigen Frühstück im Hotel holten wir zu Fuß unsere Schwester, die heute dazu stoßen würde, vom Bahnhof ab und dann ging es auch schon los mit der Stadtbesichtigung. Dafür peilten wir zunächst das schöne Altstadtviertel Gamlastan an. Am Anfang des Viertel befindet sich auch das Schloss Stockholms, wo wir morgens sogar die traditionelle Wachablösung begutachten konnten. Mit einer richtigen Performance mit einer Kapelle und Pferden war die Wachablösung wirklich sehr spektakulär und es hat super Spaß gemacht, dabei zuzuschauen. Anschließend liefen wir durch die Gassen des Viertels und schauten uns die kleinen alten Gebäude an, in denen nun viele kleine Lädchen und Cafés sind. Besonders cool in dem Viertel war Stockholms engste Gasse „Mårtan Trotzigs gränd“. Anschließend liefen wir noch in das Stadtviertel Östermalm, in dem vor allem Menschen, die etwas mehr Geld haben, leben. Die großen Gebäude waren einer großer Kontrast zum Viertel davor, aber nicht weniger faszinierend. In Östermalm befindet sich auch eine Saluhall (Markthalle), die wir ebenso besichtigen. Zum Abschluss liefen wir noch etwas an der Promenade „Strandvägen“ entlang. Nach einem schönen Restaurantbesuch ging es für mich nun für die nächsten 3 Nächte in ein Hostel, das ganz in der Nähe des Hotels war.

21.08.22: Viertel Södermalm

An diesem Tag zog es uns zum Viertel Södermalm - das Hipstaviertel der Stadt. Dort ging es für uns zunächst zu den zwei Aussichtspunkten „Mariaberget“ und „Skinnarviksberget“. Von beiden Punkten hatte man eine wunderschöne Aussicht auf den Rest von Stockholm. Als wir durch das Viertel liefen, entdeckten wir, dass heute ein besonderes Seifenkistenrennen stattfinden sollte, bei dem sich die einzelnen Teilnehmer verkleideten und ihre Seifenkiste ebenso in diesem Stil bauten. So entschieden wir uns dazu, dem für eine Weile zuzuschauen. Besonders witzig war auch die Show, die die Teilnehmer vor ihrem Start abzogen! Anschließend liefen wir weiter durch das Viertel und besuchten einige kleine Lädchen. Unter anderem den großen Vintage-Secondhand-Shop „Pop“. Der nicht nur von außen, sondern auch innen drin sehr verrückt, aber total cool aussah. Man kam sich teilweise allerdings eher wie in einem Faschingsladen vor als in einem normalen Shop. Zur Abwechslung entschieden wir uns für den Abend, mal zu kochen, anstatt essen zu gehen - und zwar in meinem Hostel. Danach setzten wir uns für den Abend noch gemütlich im Hotel meiner Schwestern zusammen.

22.08.22: Fahrradtour Djugården

Da an diesem Tag das Wetter nochmal besonders gut werden sollte, entschieden wir uns dazu, eine Fahrradtour zu machen. Und zwar durch die Insel Djugården, die uns alle drei sofort begeisterte. Denn hier kann man dem Stadtleben ganz schnell entfliehen und befindet sich inmitten wunderschöner Natur. An besonders schönen Stellen machten wir immer wieder Rast und genossen die Sonne. Am späten Nachmittag gingen wir dann eine kleine Runde shoppen - das darf natürlich in so einer Stadt wie Stockholm, vor allem wenn drei Schwestern gemeinsam reisen, nicht fehlen. Dafür waren wir vor allem in der klassischen Einkaufsstraße Stockholms namens „Drottningsgatan“ unterwegs. Da dies der letzte Tag unserer einen Schwester sein sollte, gingen wir zum Abschluss noch einmal essen.

23.08.22: Stadtbibliothek und U-Bahnfahrt

Am Vormittag besichtigen wir nochmal alle drei zusammen die Stadtbibliothek. Diese wurde zwar zurzeit leider renoviert, aber dennoch sah sie immer noch total cool aus! Danach gingen wir nochmal durch ein paar kleine Lädchen, bevor wir unsere Schwester dann noch zum Bahnhof brachten. Nach einem schweren Abschied ging es dann für mich und meine andere Schwester weiter. Wir entschieden uns dazu, eine U-Bahn-Tour zu machen, da viele U-Bahn-Stationen in Stockholm sehr besonders sind. Denn in vielen Stationen haben sich Künstler verewigt und die Gewölbe auf sehr besondere, künstlerische weise gestaltet. Und das war tatsächlich so. Wir fuhren bestimmt ca. 2 Stunden mit der U-Bahn von einer Station zur nächsten und stiegen immer wieder aus. Es war wirklich faszinierend, die unterschiedlichsten Wandbemalungen und Skulpturen zu sehen. Da es abends leider anfing, zu regnen, entschieden wir uns dazu, nur ein paar Snacks zu kaufen, etwas zu essen zu holen und dann einen entspannten Abend im Hotel zu verbringen. Denn nun würde ich für die letzten 2 Nächte wieder hier mit im Hotelzimmer wohnen.

24.08.22: Insel Vaxholm

Am letzten Tag in Stockholm sollte das Wetter noch einmal besonders gut werden. Das nutzten meine Schwester und ich aus und entschieden uns, zu der wunderschönen Insel Vaxholm zu fahren. Nach einer 1-stündigen Fährfahrt ist man bereits dort und hat bereits auf der Fahrt einen tollen Blick auf die umliegenden Schären. Auch die Insel selbst ist wunderschön mit vielen typisch schwedischen Häuschen und einer tollen Natur. Wir spazierten über die Insel und setzten uns an den besonders schönen Stellen hin und genossen die Sonne. Am Abend gingen wir zum Abschluss unseres gemeinsamen Urlaubs nochmal essen. Für meine Schwester gab es dabei das typisch schwedische Gericht „Kötbulla“.

25.08.22: Letzter Tag Stockholm

Bereits früh morgens sollte es für meine Schwester wieder zurück nach Deutschland gehen. So brachte ich sie noch vor dem Frühstück an den Bahnhof. Auch wenn man sich ja bereits bald in Deutschland wiedersehen durfte, fiel der Abschied doch auch wieder recht schwer. Zurück im Hotel frühstückte ich nochmals ausgiebig und packte entspannt meine Sachen. Denn mein Zug würde erst ganz spät am Abend gehen. Denn ich würde einen Nachtzug in Richtung Norden nehmen: und zwar nach Luleå. Da ich also noch den ganzen Tag in Stockholm Zeit hatte und das Wetter nochmal bombastisch war, stellte ich die Sachen im Hotel für den Tag unter und entschied mich dazu nochmal auf die Insel Djugården zu laufen, da es mir dort einfach am besten gefiel. Vorher spazierte ich allerdings nochmal über eine andere Insel, von der aus man einen schönen Blick auf das Viertel Södermalm hat. In Djugården spazierte ich dann viel durch die Insel und setzte mich immer wieder hin, las etwas und genoss das schöne, warme Wetter. Gegen Abend ging ich dann ins Hotel zurück, holte meine Sachen, machte mich etwas frisch und lief dann zum Bahnhof, von wo aus dann mein Zug gehen würde.
