Historical background

The Katarina lift is a passenger lift built in 1881 as an elevator from the Slussen transportation hub to the Södermalm district. It acquired its current appearance in 1935 during reconstruction of the junction. As subway emerged the elevator became obsolete and the lift turned into a tourist attraction and the bridge between the lift and the mountain top became an observation site. However the lift was closed in 2010 due to unreliable design. According to the recently developed renovation plan the elevator may be put into operation again in 2019.
