What is the history of Hjorthagen?
Hjorthagen changed hands in 1997. An administrative change that year placed it inside the Östermalm district, and the ground it covers has been read as part of that larger unit of central Stockholm ever since. Ropsten and the Lidingöbron sat at the edge throughout.
Hjorthagens kyrka and Hjorthagens IP carry the district's own name, a sign that it kept its identity after the merger.
