The history of Tegelbacken
The story of Tegelbacken begins where the waters of Lake Mälaren meet the city. In the mid-1600s, Stockholm began to grow towards the shoreline as Norrmalm was regulated and new land was created – Tegelbacken emerged. During the 1700s, Tegelbacken continued to flourish as the gateway to Lake Mälaren, with a vibrant working life at the city's edge where both food and building materials were handled in an open public space filled with movement. Quays, piers, and loading areas connected the city and its surroundings.
In the 1800s, Stockholm stepped into a new era as the pace increased and the city grew significantly. Bridges connected neighborhoods, the railway was brought into the city center, and Central Station took shape nearby. As the city's pace increased the importance of communal meals grew. Cafés and restaurants became important spaces for conversations, decisions, and community.
Today, Tegelbacken's story continues through Stockholm View. The place is once again filled with people gathering around meals, meetings, and events. Here, Sabis becomes a part of Tegelbacken's next chapter, with the same respect for quality, hospitality, and the people around the table. The story lives on in our time at a place that has always pushed the city forward.
Tysta Mari – a historical tribute
Tysta Mari was a café in Stockholm that opened in 1843 by Maria Christina Lindström; the place soon received its nickname "Tysta Mari" due to Lindström's low-key and discreet way of running her café. In 1934, the café moved to the crown prince's stable at Tegelbacken, precisely where Stockholm View has now emerged. The café became a meeting place for journalists from the newspaper offices located in the vicinity.
Today, Tysta Mari has left its mark in the form of the pedestrian path Tysta Mariegången, which connects Klara västra kyrkogata with Tegelbacken and has been created as a historical tribute to the old café. If you come to us via Tegelbacken, you must pass through Tysta Mariegången to reach our main entrance at Herkulesgatan 27. A chance to feel the wings of history before you step through our doors.
