home of bohemian, alternative culture and a broad range of cultural amenities. Meanwhile, the growing demand for housing, as well as an increasing gentrification of Stockholm's central parts, makes apartments in Södermalm more and more difficult or expensive to come by. Thus what was once a working-class district is now somewhat a district of the privileged. Geography Neighbourhoods and parishes There are four parishes of the Church of Sweden on the island (from west to east): Högalid, partitioned from the parish of Maria Magdalena in 1925. Maria Magdalena, partitioned from the Stockholm city parish in 1591, and subsequently divided into the modern parishes. Katarina, partitioned from Maria Magdalena in 1654. Sofia, partitioned from Katarina in 1917 and also includes parts of the mainland south of Södermalm. Södermalm is roughly divided into the following neighbourhoods (from west to east): Högalid (western area): Bergsund Drakenberg Heleneborg Tantolunden Zinkensdamm Maria Magdalena (mid-northern area): Mariaberget Mariatorget Slussen Södra stationsområdet Åsö (mid-southern area): Eriksdal Helgalund Medborgarplatsen Rosenlund Skanstull Katarina-Sofia (north-eastern area): Blecktornsområdet Danvikstull Ersta Norra Hammarbyhamnen Nytorget Mosebacke Main sights Göta Lejon Högalid Church Karl Johansslussen Katarina Elevator Katarina Church Maria Magdalena Church Medborgarhuset Stockholm Mosque St. Eric's Cathedral Skatteskrapan Slussen Södra Teatern Sofia kyrka Stockholm South Station Söder Torn Nytorget Culture In poetry and fiction The songs and poems (Fredman's Songs and Fredman's Epistles) of the popular 18th-century poet and songwriter Carl Michael Bellman are filled with recurring references to names of places, primarily bars and mead halls, on Södermalm. The celebrated first paragraph of August Strindberg's satirical novel The Red Room (Röda rummet) describes Stockholm as seen from Mosebacke on Södermalm, where much of the story takes place. City of My Dreams (Mina drömmars stad), the first in a series of books by Per Anders Fogelström telling the story of several generations of Stockholmers, follows the young worker Henning's life on Södermalm. Lisbeth Salander and other characters in the Millennium Trilogy by Stieg Larsson live and work on Södermalm. Much of the action in those books takes place in that district. Greta Garbo grew up in the area. The artists Yung Lean, Bladee, and Ecco2K grew up in the area, all of them eventually becoming future collaborators. In pop culture Mojang, a video game developer and publisher best known for the creation of the popular game Minecraft, has their main offices located on Södermalm.
