Produktbeschreibung

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Yxsmedsgränd (Swedish: "Axe Blacksmith''s Alley") is an alley in Gamla stan, the old town in central Stockholm, Sweden. Stretching south from Västerlånggatan to Stora Nygatan, it forms a parallel street to Didrik Ficks Gränd and Kåkbrinken and is crossed by Lilla Nygatan and Munkbrogatan. Throughout its history it appears under various names : Yskemes grenden (1612), Öskiemyss gränden (1623), Yxe Smedes Grenden (1646), Yxe-Smeds gr[änd], Ödesgr[änd], Uttermarks gr[änd] (1733), Yxsmedsgränd (1885). The present name is a corruption of the original Yskemes grenden probably meaning "The Alley of [Jöran] Yskemes", mentioned as "the late Jörenn Yschemesses" in 1606 and said to have owned a property in the alley. Except the man leaving a widow called Marie, nothing much is known about him. The name can arguably be of Estonian or Finnish origin, originally meaning öitsi-mees, "night watchman" (e.g. over cattle).
