The story behind the motif
Långedrag in Gothenburg municipality is described as one of the most beautiful places in Gothenburg's immediate surroundings. In the picture we see Långedrags Värdshus in 1905.
The name Långedrag is found for the first time in 1766 and then referred to a saltery and a fishing village. The meaning of the name is thought to come from "the long, wind-exposed sailing route off Västerberget" (Långe-) and "open water where the wind is on" (-drag).
The great herring rush at the end of the 18th century contributed to the development of Långedrag and the construction of a road to Gothenburg. The road became an important route, especially during severe winters when the fjord and river were closed by ice.
In the mid-1800s, a steamboat began making regular trips to Långedrag for bathers. Cold bath houses with separate sections for men and women and a restaurant were built. Plots began to be subdivided for summer residence and soon also for year-round residence.
