Historical background
Reimersholme Island took its current name in 1798 after the name of the hatter and magistrate Anders Reimers whose property has been preserved on the eastern shore of the island. Reimersholme became part of Stockholm in 1913. In 1860s a wool processing plant was built at which prisoners from one of prisons worked. The plant went bankrupt in 1934 and this place was bought by the housing cooperative association HSB. By the mid 1940s the association built houses in the northern and eastern part of the island. In 1980s the southern part where alcohol production was based turned into a residential area. The island may be accessed by city buses.
