Before Liseberg was built, a lot had happened on the site. At first it was simply green pastures for cows, horses and sheep! After that, it was thought that the area had good soil for growing tobacco, so that was it.
When did Liseberg open
When Gothenburg celebrated its 300th anniversary in 1923, the Liseberg area opened. Then you could take a cable car from the exhibition at Götaplatsen over to Liseberg. In 2013, Liseberg celebrated 90 years.
Who bought the area where Liseberg is located?
Staden växte och runt omkring skapades fler gator och trafiken ökade. De rika sökte efter landet igen...och ville komma ut till grönska och odla sin egen lilla lott. Lisebergsområdet blev då som dagens kolonilotter, de uppdelas i olika små lotter - de delades in i morgnar - ett område stort att plöja under en morgon.
In 1740, councilor Jacob Bratt took over the "area". The mornings and the tobacco were left. Now the first buildings on the site were built. After Jacob Bratt's death, the successful merchant Johan Anders Lamberg took over the area.
Why is it called Liseberg?
Johan Lamberg loved gardens and his wife Elisabeth Söderberg. The word Liseberg comes from Johan's wife's name, when Johan named the area Lisa's mountain - eventually Liseberg. He also built a house for her - Landeriet Before the city of Gothenburg bought the park, there have been 6 different owners after the Lambergs family. One owner - used the park as a base for a huge smuggling operation. Precious materials were collected from various areas and later hidden in selected places in the park. Wondering if there is anything left today ........
