Kirseberg
Encyclopedia
Kirseberg is a city district in the north-east of Malmö Municipality
in Scania
, southern Sweden
.
A true "Kirsebergare" identifies himself first and foremost as being from Backarna, or "The Hills," and then as being from Malmö. Kirseberg is an authentic working class neighbourhood, with both single family houses and apartment buildings side by side. The area is an example of the "outside city boundaries building" (utomgränsbebyggelse) that arose in Malmö around 1900 (another example is Sofielund). Originally, the area was not regulated by any city plan but only by speculation. After World War I, many large tenements buildings were built in haste, often without sewers and Kirseberg's water tower was quickly converted to housing to reduce the acute housing shortage. Most of Malmö's poor families lived here.
In Kirseberg, especially in Kirsebergsstaden, one finds larger apartment buildings side by side with small, low town houses built when country villagers moved closer to the city in the beginning of the 20th century. The Church of Kirseberg is an active part of the neighbourhood and each year arranges Backanatten ("The Hill Night"), a cultural event featuring theatre plays, music performances and other activities for children. Kirseberg managed to survive urban renewal between the 1930s and 1980s, so the area's historic charm is well preserved.
Kirseberg is about 2.5 square miles (6.5 km²) large but not as flat as the rest of Malmö. Today there are about 14,000 residents.
