The story of Mäster Anders

The name dates back to 1692, when the cook Anders Månsson Holm opened an inn on Kungsholmsgatan on Kungsholmen. He had previously cooked for the statesman Nils Gyldenstolpe and was one of the city's master innkeepers; the block became known as Traktören, probably after him.

After his death in 1715 his widow and then his daughters kept the place going. In the 18th century it was a popular haunt celebrated by the poet Carl Michael Bellman, and the diarist known as Årstafrun was a regular in the early 1800s. It stopped trading as a tavern in 1856, became a café, and the building was pulled down towards the end of the century.

Since 1905 the name has lived on at the corner of Pipersgatan 1 and Hantverkargatan 16. In 2003 Mäster Anders won Dagens Nyheter's Gulddraken award in the mid-range category.

Times look wrong, for example because the terrace is on the other side of the building? Fix the location in OpenStreetMap and Stoligt will follow at the next update.

How Stoligt works it out

Every ten minutes we draw a line from each terrace toward the sun and check whether a building or hill is tall enough to block it. Building heights come from OpenStreetMap and ground heights from Lantmäteriet, the Swedish mapping agency. The times assume a clear day, so clouds are not included here. They are on the live map, which shows today's weather.

Trees, parasols and awnings are not in the model, and we don't know exactly where on the pavement the tables stand. Treat the times as an educated guess, often accurate to within ten minutes.
