Hammarkullen is one of the areas of Gothenburg aka Göteborg, and Hammarkullen is a tram stop in the city served by the Trams 4, 8 and 9. The uniqueness of its tram station is – it is the only station in Gothenburg with an underground train station, and it was planned to connect to Angered in 1972. The model for the station was subway stations in Stockholm. The station is located 25 meters below ground level and in the middle of more than 2 km long Hammarkullen tunnel.

 

The escalator in the station takes the passengers up and down, out of the station and into the station respectively, and during the journey of one minute you can see the artworks on the walls. The escalators are long: 24 meters high, 58 meters long; and the station has an oblique lift which is a kind of mountain railway. According to Göteborgs Spårvägar, Hammarkullen’s escalator is built on a supporting frame of steel beams, the length of ride is 58 m, number of steps on the staircase are 272, slope is 30’ and the year of construction was started in 1970.

The area has people with varied ethnic backgrounds, and its annual multicultural carnival called Hammarkullen festival is one of the widely attended festivals of Gothenburg. The multicultural environment in the area is cause for celebration and cause for consternation but the local administration is putting extra efforts in the area. According to Göteborgs Stad or the City of Gothenburg, “In order to strengthen social cohesion in the area, we focus on creating a safe and health-promoting liveable environment. The vision is that everyone will have a well-functioning everyday life and have the opportunity to influence the development of the district. Based on the residents’ suggestions and needs, we are preparing the square, creating more meeting places, building new housing and investing heavily in a beautiful and safe outdoor environment.” The administrators are aware that ‘everyone should feel at home in Hammarkullen’ and ‘have the opportunity to influence the development in the area’.
