Östermalm
Östermalm, Stockholm
Grand nineteenth-century grid of embassies and boutiques around a legendary nightlife square.
This guide to Östermalm in Stockholm starts beneath the mushroom-shaped canopy in Stureplan, where generations of Stockholmers have met for dates, before turning to the corner near the former nightclub Sturecompagniet, where a doorman turned away three men in the early hours of December 4, 1994. You'll hear how one of those men, a twenty-five-year-old named Tommy Zethraeus, reacted differently than most people refused entry on any given night. It traces the legal reckoning that followed in the years afterward, as courts reconsidered his sentence more than once.
